Their reputation was well-deserved. Whether a centaur's battle prowess was strong or not, one could tell from their well-developed muscles and strong physique. The information revealed from Mathilda's mouth was even more shocking. Not only did they predict that Allen would visit the centaur tribe today, they also divined that Allen had something they needed.
As expected of a race that produced prophets and astrologers. Fortunately, they were passionate about prying into the mysteries of the stars and focused on exploring the stars. Otherwise, if they were greedy for worldly power and fame, it would be hard to predict the outcome of a confrontation between magi and them. Of course, it was also possible that the centaurs had seen through the changes in worldly power and were only content to protect themselves.
"What item do you need from me?" Allen had a guess in his heart. The only thing that could be linked to the celestial bodies that the centaurs were passionate about was the moon gem that he had obtained before.
"Although we cannot confirm which item on you is of vital importance to us, but I'm sure you already have an answer in your heart. If we can obtain your support and help, we centaurs will do our best to repay your deep friendship. "Mathilda sincerely requested Allen.
"Respected king, I am also looking forward to obtaining the friendship of the centaurs. I do have an item on me that seems to fit your needs, but it is an inauspicious item. Anyone who covets it will meet with misfortune. "Allen was honest, since the moon gem had no use for him. He did not believe in any gods, so he had no way of understanding the will of the moon god.
"Oh? Please elaborate. " Mathilda was very interested, and the centaurs that had returned to their normal state also revealed an interested expression.
"This item is called the moon gem." Just as Allen said the name of the moon gem, he saw Mathilda's eyes instantly light up. Her pupils seemed to have countless stars twinkling, sparkling brightly. Firenze and the other centaurs were excited. Even Bain who was abnormally angry before was now looking at Allen expectantly.
Alan told the centaurs the truth and lies about how he got the Moon Gem. With Allen's eloquence, his story was even more exciting than the story itself. The centaurs were all immersed in the story that Allen had fabricated, worrying for Allen and rejoicing for Allen.
"And just like that, the Moon Gem fell into my hands." Allen's mouth was parched, and he finally finished. He swallowed his saliva and missed the fruits that Gaia had given him.
The wise and farsighted Mathilda instantly saw through Allen's predicament. "Allen, the good news that you've brought to our race really excites us. It's noon now, it should be lunch time for you humans. Why don't we, the centaurs, entertain you properly. "
After that, Mathilda instructed Firenze to prepare some food and bring it over. Allen, who had received great hospitality at the unicorn settlement, would not foolishly believe that the centaurs would prepare grass for him as food. Allen was indeed unable to endure his hunger and thirst, and was looking forward to the lunch that the centaurs prepared.
Allen originally thought that the centaurs would be like the unicorns and bring many berries to entertain him. But unexpectedly, the centaurs actually treated Allen to cooked oatmeal cakes, vanilla, fruit wine and cheese. Although it was not as exquisite as the house-elves' cooking, it was more elegant and natural, and the taste was fresh.
After eating and drinking to her heart's content, Gaia politely bid farewell to Mathilda. Mathilda did not urge her to stay, as the following matter was not suitable for Gaia to be present.
"Allen, I wonder if you can take out the Moon Gem for us to study? For such a divine item to be left idle in the Treasure Pavilion, it is truly a waste of God's gift! "
Mathilda's words were indeed reasonable. This item currently had no use for Allen.
Allen took out the yellow gem from the system's storage compartment. Mathilda looked at it with fiery eyes as the gem occasionally flashed with light.
Seeing this, Allen generously handed over the Moon Gem to Mathilda, allowing him to study and play with it.
After a long while, Mathilda returned the gem to Allen and let out a long sigh, "There is indeed a curse, and it is of a rather high level. I'm afraid that only by holding the Ceremony of Charon and gathering the power of the stars can it be removed. Luckily, our centaurs' inheritance is complete, and we can arrange the Ceremony of Charon. "
After obtaining Allen's approval, the centaurs were quickly mobilized. There were those who cut trees, those who flattened the ground, those who used silver stone powder to draw unknown patterns on the ground … … Everyone, oh, no, every centaur, did their best and did not slack off at all to complete the tasks at hand. Mathilda was calm and composed as she commanded them in an orderly manner. The entire group was busy but not in chaos, and their efficiency was shocking.
"Allen, as a reward for your generosity, are you willing to visit our centaurs' inheritance grounds?" After setting up the grounds, Mathilda invited Allen to the centaurs' sacred grounds — — the inheritance grounds. This was definitely a great trust towards Allen. It seemed that the Moon Gem was useless to Allen, but it was a treasure that the centaurs yearned for even in their dreams.
Allen gladly agreed and followed closely behind Mathilda. At the same time, he noticed that Mathilda only called for Firenze, Ronan, Bain and the rest of the centaurs with stronger bodies to follow. The rest of the centaurs stayed in place to protect the newly set up formation from being destroyed.
After passing through a wooden door formed by two intersecting elm trees, Allen arrived at an extremely secluded place. A steamed bun shaped green mound sat on top of a lush green mountain peak. Under the shade of the large tree, there was a small winding path that led directly to the center of the mound. Under Mathilda's lead, Allen and the rest avoided a few traps set up by the centaurs and walked directly into the mound.
From the outside, the mound looked unremarkable, but after walking in, it was a completely different world. How could this be an ordinary mound? It was simply an enormous fortress.
Allen followed Mathilda and turned left and right. The structure of this fortress was complex. For people who weren't familiar with it, it was simply an enormous labyrinth. The four walls of the fortress were all made up of large glossy stones piled up together. Borrowing the dim light, Allen noticed that the walls were engraved with strange characters, and there were many pictures of centaurs. All of this indicated to Allen that even though he hadn't completely handed over the Moon Gem, the centaurs had indeed brought him to the centaurs' sacred grounds — — the inheritance grounds.
After walking for an unknown amount of time, Mathilda finally stopped when Ronan began to pant. In a large stone room, the engravings on the walls made Allen understand that this was their destination.
