The Garlasse Mountain Range was always cold and frozen. Even in the hottest summer, it was covered in ice and snow. At most, there would be a few snowfalls.
However, the scene inside the door was simply a scene that could only be found in the territory of Saint-Rames. Although it was night time, the dense grass and the jungle that covered the entire hillside in the distance were far beyond Carolina's imagination.
From the looks of it, this place didn't seem to be affected by the cold environment outside the barrier at all. Everything was so quiet and peaceful, as if it had been like this since ancient times. However, the scenery here also had a sense of vicissitudes, with a slightly oppressive feeling.
Because the scene in front of her was too strange.
Carolina was not surprised by the scene for too long. She quickly recovered, took a gentle breath, and then passed through the door, flying straight towards the mountain that was hidden under the illusion.
At this moment, a vast magical wave was faintly discernible, but it was much clearer than before. Carolina could finally confirm its specific location.
Flying straight up, Carolina quickly arrived at a flat area on the mountainside.
However, she did not notice that the illusion wall that she had just broken with the Ring of Flame was slowly fusing back together like a wound. When the last gap disappeared, the mirror-like "hole" disappeared without a trace, and there was no trace of it in the entire wilderness.
Within her field of vision, this area was completely a landform without any clear dividing line. Ever since Carolina broke through the wall of illusion and entered this place, there was not a single trace of snow within the "wall", as if she had come to another world.
In other words, if Carolina turned her head at this time, she would not be able to tell where the edge of the illusion wall was!
But at this time, she did not notice this, as the scene in front of her made her extremely vigilant.
No less than three shields appeared around her body, and Carolina also cast a large detection spell that covered a radius of more than a hundred meters. Her red pupils scanned the surroundings, and the oppressive aura of a grade 10 powerhouse shrouded the area. The air was like a hurricane that constantly spread outwards, blowing away the barren rocky ground. Dense elements surged around Carolina's body, and a faint seven-colored halo enveloped her body. The violent elements around her body were as docile as a sheep. Carolina had used all her strength because the scene in front of her forced her to do so!
The slightly flat ground was actually full of holes!
It was as if someone had experienced a very tragic battle here. The traces left on the ground were very strange. The regular circular deep hole at the foot of Carolina looked as if someone had used a standard circular ruler to cut it!
The hard rock did not collapse, but instead, it looked as if it was directly eroded by some kind of force!
Not even a trace was left behind!
And around the devastated battlefield, there seemed to be the remnant aura of the people who caused this scene. It felt as if a battle had just happened here. Carolina sensitively discovered that the remnant aura seemed to be … the aura of the dragon race!
But it was not the red dragon race. Carolina knew very well what kind of characteristics the aura of the red dragon race had, but as for what kind of dragon the remnant aura belonged to, Carolina could not tell.
This feeling was too strange. It was as if she could still feel the strong remnant aura of the battle here when she closed her eyes, but when she opened her eyes, there was no trace of it. When she wanted to search, she found it was vague, and she did not know where to start.
Carolina walked around the strange battlefield. In addition to the circular holes on the ground, there were huge radial cracks. The rock in the center of the cracks had turned into powder, and the whole area looked like a spider web with a diameter of more than ten meters. Other than that, Carolina also sharply raised her head and saw that at the edge of the open space, which was similar to the entrance of the dragon territory, there was a neat cut on the mountain wall. This cut seemed to split the entire mountain, and the pitch-black crack extended all the way up to the end of the cloud-shrouded mountain peak.
Could it be that there was a battle between super powerful beings here?
This was the only thought that came to Carolina's mind. She believed that her ability was not enough to split the entire mountain.
At the end of the battlefield, there was a very obvious entrance. It looked like a cave, and there was a faint, familiar aura in it.
Carolina's footsteps slightly tightened, and her hands were faintly glowing. This was the characteristic of a spellcaster who was ready to cast a spell at any time. As a top-tier powerful being, a level-five single-target spell could be released in an instant under such circumstances.
However, along the way, Carolina did not encounter any unexpected situations. A gentle breeze blew past, bringing with it the fragrance of flowers and plants. Other than the battlefield halfway up the mountain, the surroundings were still green. Due to the altitude, the trees here were short, but they were still full of vitality. The temperature did not seem to have dropped at all. Everything was as refreshing and pleasant as early autumn in Saint-Rames.
The entrance of the cave was quiet. Carolina looked inside. There were no restrictions, not even the most basic enchantment. However, the four walls of the cave were very smooth, and it was obvious that they were dug with magic.
The Red Dragon King raised his hand, and a strong beam of light shone into the pitch-black cave. There was a slight breeze in the spotless cave. Worried, Carolina released a few detection spells. After confirming that there was really nothing in the cave, she slowly walked in.
The cave was not long. After walking for more than ten meters, Carolina entered a huge hemispherical room. At this time, there was a long, pitch-black object in front of her.
She released a Strengthened Illumination Spell. When the glowing sphere floated to the roof of the stone room, Carolina confirmed what she was looking for.
It was a dragon tail — the tail of Nairíos.
Thick scales stacked on top of each other, with thirteen long spikes at the end. The tail was dozens of meters long, but it did not seem to take up much space in the huge stone chamber — because the size of the chamber was beyond Carolina's imagination.
Turning her gaze to the side, Karolina looked beyond the dragon's tail, and suddenly felt that this place seemed to be a showroom.
The temperature of the stone room was slightly lower, but it was not cold. Carolina walked around in a circle, maintaining the magic shield on her body. She carefully explored all the details of the stone room.
Gold coins. A lot of gold coins.
The first thing Carolina found was a mountain of gold coins, including the gold coins of the Rondor Empire and all the currencies of the Empire of Saint Reims in the early days. Then, there were a lot of jewelry and magic crystals.
There was not a single magic crystal lower than the sixth-grade. They were stacked on a special shelf, reflecting a soft glow under the illumination spell.
Apart from that, there was also a large number of book-like items on the shelf. On the other side of the stone room, there were rows of weapon racks, and all of them were magical weapons that emitted terrifying waves.
These weapons were enshrouded in powerful magical waves, and none of them could be called ordinary!
Due to the war, many civilizations and skills were lost in the flames of war. The first invasion of the undead and the fall of the Rondor Empire brought calamity to the entire human race and even the Roslorian Continent. Many things disappeared without a trace in the war, including the enchantment of weapons derived from alchemy and the magical weapons created by it.
At the moment, the weapons on display here included longswords, daggers, machetes, machetes, long-handled lances, and even the gauntlets attached to the full metal plate armor!
Similarly, on the other side were sets of magical armor, including almost all the styles of the continent's various races and eras!
This place was more like a museum, displaying the various development of the continent.
For some reason, there was not a single speck of dust in the entire stone room, as though time and space had stopped at a certain moment, allowing these items to remain in their original state for countless years.
Apart from the weapons and armor, there were also piles of books, and many of them were enshrouded in powerful magical waves. Some of the covers of the books were even made from the fur of ninth-grade magical beasts!
This place was too strange, and Carolina restrained her curiosity. She did not go to those places to take a closer look. Her mission was to retrieve the dragon's skeleton, and she did not have to worry about the rest.
The years had taught her to be cautious of the curiosity that came with curiosity, and she restrained it well.
She gently raised her hand, and the space ring on Carolina's finger flashed slightly, and then the Red Dragon let out a muffled groan!
What's going on?
Carolina looked up at the huge dragon tail in front of her, and then at the ring on her hand, as though she was in disbelief. The space in the ring was big enough, but she could not fit it in!
This situation should not have happened, and yet it had happened today.
She raised her hand and tried again, but felt a buzzing sound in her head, and her mental strength almost suffered a backlash!
What was going on?
Carolina's heart suddenly became alert, and an incredible idea suddenly came to her mind. She raised her hand, and a small fireball floated towards what seemed to be a stone bench not far away, and with a "bang", it exploded.
The stone shattered into countless tiny fragments that flew in all directions, but in the next instant, they were all frozen in place!
As if time had suddenly stopped, those pieces just stood still in the air, and then they began to slowly fly in the opposite direction. After a few seconds, they actually pieced together again, and returned to the state before the explosion!
"Space-time Barrier!"
Carolina cried out involuntarily. She had only heard of this barrier in her clan, but had never seen it with her own eyes. But the scene in front of her confirmed that she was within the scope of the Space-time Barrier!
Space-time!
Within this barrier, time and space were separated from the outside world!
Carolina could not be sure if the time in this barrier flowed at the same speed as outside the barrier. It was very likely that when she walked out of this barrier, thousands of years had passed in the outside world!
From the current state of preservation of the collection, this was very likely to happen!
A year in the barrier was perhaps equivalent to a minute or a second in the Roslorian continent!
This situation suddenly made Carolina panic a little. But then she immediately remembered the creator of the Space-time Barrier, which was also a dragon race, the golden dragon race that controlled time and space!
The golden dragon patriarch, Heqi, was captured in the battle with the Abyss, and his whereabouts were still unknown. All evidence pointed to him being dragged into the collapsed portal by the Abyss race at the end of the war. The golden dragon race was almost wiped out, and the remaining bloodline had long lost the strength of the pure-blooded dragons, and now, no one knew where they had gone into seclusion.
Did they do it?
Carolina gave up thinking about it. Her current problem was that she seemed to have fallen into another barrier!
After rushing out of the cave, Carolina found that there was no change in the outside world. It was still a warm scene, but when she flew into the air to look for the crack that she had opened, she found that the mirror-like door had long disappeared!
Carolina immediately began to try again. She tried to find the edge of her sister, but she found that this barrier was frighteningly huge!
It was as if the entire world here was in the barrier, and there was no way to find the edge!
There was no way to find the edge, which meant that there was no way to escape this barrier!
Carolina suddenly felt as if she had fallen into a trap that had been prepared a long time ago. It was easy to come in, but if she wanted to go out, she could not even find the door!
In the wilderness, the red figure was unusually lonely.
As the wind blew, Carolina stared blankly at the sky, but suddenly felt that she could not find her former lover anymore.

"Elder Valencia, your body …"
"Bishop Becky's treatment is very good. My body has already recovered a lot."
Elder Valencia of the Keshen tribe came to Oditore Castle with the help of the beautiful troll, Lani. At this time, many were writing down the next strategic deployment plan. When they heard that the elder had walked so far to find him, they immediately rushed out and received him at the entrance of the baron's residence.
Oditore was in the season of recovery. Due to the many large scale constructions, the entire territory was showing a majestic vitality. Even the flower bed in front of the baron's residence had been planted by the maids with pleasing flowers that exuded an intoxicating fragrance.
Elder Valencia was welcomed into the mansion. The hall was filled with sunlight and was unusually warm. There was no longer a need for a fireplace to keep warm. The servants brought out the drinks and carefully and respectfully placed them on the table for the two of them.
To a large extent, their attitude was the result of continuous teaching. These servants who originally came from Pombo Village did not know any etiquette at all. During the many days in the baron's residence, although Valencia did not order them to do anything, the lord had used his own actions to teach them how to behave.
This included maintaining a certain amount of respect in front of everyone, moving lightly, and trying not to make any unnecessary noise. A lord's charisma would always affect everyone around him. This kind of aura often reflected a person's true virtue, and it was also an important indicator of whether a person could achieve success or not.
Valencia seemed to be able to deeply understand this. At this moment, his attitude towards Lani was very different from the first time they met. But his attitude was not flattering at all. If one were to describe it in detail, this troll seemed to have an obsessive trust in Lani because of Becky's treatment.
No one knew why, but the clansmen of the tribe knew that their elder was not a troll who would change his attitude just because of one thing. If there was a word to describe his personality, it would be wisdom.
His wisdom was not something normal Trolls could compare to, so no matter what he did, the Trolls of the Keshen tribe would trust him unconditionally. They knew that with their wisdom, they might not be able to immediately understand the elder's intentions, but reality would always prove that the elder's judgment was correct.
At this moment, he only brought Lani to the baron's residence in Oditore Castle, and no Trolls would stop him.
It seemed that the old troll's condition was not just a little bit better. At least he could walk with the help of a walking stick. The walking stick seemed to be the one he used when he was still in good health. The dark brown body of the stick was very smooth because of the long period of caressing, but the shape was rather primitive, and it looked like an ordinary tree branch.
