Whether it was his magical abilities or his status as a knight, she, a mere mercenary, could not afford to offend either of them.

Tang Zijun had no idea that the heroic woman in front of him had such a rich inner life. His mind was now full of curiosity about the world.

A dark world and a ruined human settlement, and at this time, a brave man suddenly appeared here.

Could it be that he is the legendary King of Elden?

What am I thinking about.

As expected, I can’t play games with Tang Cao often, my brain is broken.

"Wow--"

At this moment, Hyacinth's little head popped out of Tang Zijun's chest pocket.

"I'm dying of suffocation. It stinks in here!"

The ethereal female voice echoed in the tent, relaxing the originally tense atmosphere. Glilando suddenly raised her head and looked at the small figure in surprise.

"Fairy?!"

Startled by Glilando's reaction, Tang Zijun looked at her meaningfully, his brows slightly furrowed. "Do you know her?"

"I" Glilando opened her mouth and looked at the man in front of her with a changeable look.

"Just say whatever you want to say. I won't eat you. Don't be so nervous. Relax a little. Just treat it as a casual chat." Tang Zijun waved his hand casually.

Although she said so, it was impossible for Glilando to relax all of a sudden. However, after hearing Tang Zijun's gentle tone, her nerves did relax a lot.

"You, you don't know the origin of this creature?"

"I know a little bit, but what I want to know more is what this little guy's identity is in your eyes."

Tang Zijun perfectly demonstrated the profoundness of language, and every word he said was the truth.

And he was really curious about why humans in the dream world actually knew the flower fairies in the secret realm of the real world, and seemed to know them very well.

Glilando pondered for a moment, as if she was considering her words, and then she slowly spoke.

"We call them fairies, and some call them flower elves. Legend has it that these creatures are made from the essence of plants. Each of them possesses the ability to ensure a good harvest. Because of this, they are highly respected by noble lords."

If Glilando had some doubts about Tang Zijun's identity as a knight at the beginning, now that she saw the fairy Hyacinth, all the doubts in her heart were swept away.

That's a goblin!

Legend has it that the lower class people may never see this existence in their entire lives.

This kind of creature has always been held in the hands of nobles and lords, and it is difficult for ordinary people to see it. Perhaps only the canonized knights are qualified to bring a fairy with them.

Listening to Glilandra's words, Hyacinthus puffed out her chest proudly, with an expression that said, "I'm so awesome."

Tang Zijun also looked at Hyacinthus with some surprise, but he was more confused in his heart.

If, as Chang Lei said, the dream world exists at a higher level than the real world, then why would creatures from the dream world also be born in the secret realm of the real world?

And another thing is that the residents of the dream world are very similar to the people on Earth. Although Tang Zijun has not seen an Oriental person yet, Glilando's Western appearance is enough to prove it.

"Grilando Xiao Grilando, can I call you that?"

"Of course!" Glilando sat up straight and said seriously. "You can call me whatever you want."

Generally speaking, people would address each other by their last names to be polite, but as a mercenary, Grilando immediately felt honored to be addressed by her name by a knight.

"Grilando, I just heard you say this is the Black City gathering place. Can you tell me in detail about the situation here? To be honest, I am quite curious about this place."

"Don't you know where this is?" Glilando looked at Tang Zijun in surprise, with a strange look in her eyes.

"I came here by accident. I ended up in a forest for no apparent reason, so I don't know much about this place."

Tang Zijun did not hide his experience, nor was he worried that his words would give the woman in front of him any special thoughts. On the contrary, Tang Zijun was more curious about what kind of plot she would imagine.

"Forest, is the Ghost Mist Forest the forest deep in the Blood Plains? You can actually walk out of the territory of those Blood Cultists!" Glilando widened her eyes.

"If you're talking about the direction I came from, then it should be correct. As for the blood cultists you mentioned, they couldn't be referring to those red-robed people, right?"

"It's them!" Glilandra gritted her teeth. "The reason this place has become like this is all because of them."

"Tell me more about it." Tang Zijun leaned forward slightly.

Glilandra sighed and spoke.

"Originally, this was the territory of Lord Red Leaf Ridge. Ever since the war between Nightmare and Skyrealm, the entire world has been shrouded in catastrophe, and this mountain range has also been affected by the war.

In the war against monsters, countless people died heroically, and Lord Red Leaf Ridge withdrew from here with the remaining guards, completely handing over this territory.

In order to survive, the remaining people opened their arms to some evil gods, and the blood cultists were one of them. They abandoned their bodies and offered their blood to the evil gods.

The souls of those guys have completely lost their humanity and are hunting any life that sets foot in the Ghost Mist Forest. At the same time, his body is also affected by the curse and has crawled back to wander the blood plain all day long.

Tang Zijun listened quietly to what Glilando said. He didn't expect that such a large amount of information was hidden in the other party's simple words.

First up is the war between Nightmare and the Skyclave.

Nightmare, as the name suggests, since this is a dream world, it should refer to the monsters born in the nightmare. Tang Zijun subconsciously thought of the terrifying existence that covered the sky and the sun before.

As for the Void Realm, Tang Zijun was not sure what kind of existence it was. If he had to compare it with a nightmare, it should refer to a "sweet dream". Perhaps the Void Realm was another name for the beautiful dream force.

So from this point of view, the world he is in now should be a normal dream world, and also a battlefield between nightmares and emptiness.

As for Glilando and other residents of the dream, they were ordinary people who were unlucky enough to be affected by the war.

If you understand this, then the emergence of those monsters will be a natural consequence.

In order to survive, these ordinary people have no choice but to crave power from indescribable things. Those evil gods are different from the nightmare forces, and they do not belong to the void forces. They are a faction of their own and demonstrate strange energy.

These energies can even separate the soul and body of the human body.

The evil god fulfilled the wishes of those believers, sucked their blood, and allowed them to survive as both ghosts and zombies.

But can this really be called 'living'?
