Chapter 513: Mines's Past 2
Floch had been hiding in the holy city for nearly half a year without being discovered by anyone. When he heard Minies' voice, he was so scared that he almost fell from the tree.

"Come down."

Mines looked towards the tree where Flock was, "There's no one else here, only Andor and I."

As if sensing Flock's defensiveness and hesitation, Mines said, "With me here, no one else will notice you."

Flock hesitated for a moment, then jumped down from the tree.

"You already knew me, why didn't you expose me?"

Seeing that Minnes was looking at him, Flock took off his camouflage device and revealed his true face in front of Minnes for the first time.

Mines: "Because you don't want to be exposed by me, and you have no ill intentions."

The energy of his golden tree covers the entire Avitalos, and he can detect anyone who enters the holy city with bad intentions.

He was also very curious about Floch and wanted to know why this companion who also had golden blood came to the Holy City and hid himself.

He soon found out Flock's purpose.

The little mouse wondered if the Holy City was his home, but was clearly disappointed.

Mines looked at Flock and said, "You have been in the Holy City for so long, but you have never thought of contacting us. Are you afraid that we cannot accept you? Or are you unable to accept the Holy City?"

"Both." Flock knew what Mines was capable of, so he didn't beat around the bush. "This place isn't as good as I thought."

As he spoke, he licked his paw and looked at the child squatting in a corner of the yard. She was playing with a bunch of rabbits, feeding them with vegetable leaves in her hands, and occasionally reaching out to touch them, moving carefully, exploring the things she touched with her sense of touch.

Flock found it very novel. Although she looked so fragile that she might break at the slightest touch, her energy was full of vitality.

Her weakness is different from that of other children in the holy city. She just lacks energy, just like a baby who was born prematurely. She just needs to be replenished with energy.

He had seen her before she was hatched, under the golden tree of Menes.

With his golden blood and powerful mental strength, he had almost no obstacles in the holy city. He had even been to Ota, the center of the inner city, and naturally he had also been to the place where the golden tree of Minnes was rooted.

His golden tree grew in the center of a lake, with lush branches and leaves that blocked out the sun. Beside his golden tree there were two other golden trees, but they were very small, one was only two or three meters high, and the other was only half a person's height. You couldn't see them unless you looked closely.

These two small golden trees do not look like golden seedlings. Their leaves have almost all fallen off, leaving only bare branches. There are many cracks on the trunks, and the light is so dim that it can be almost ignored.

One of the two golden trees belongs to the previous golden priest, who has completely died, with only the last wisp of consciousness remaining in his golden tree. The other slightly larger golden tree belongs to the previous golden priest, who has also entered a period of decline. In a year or two, he will completely turn into a tree and provide the last bit of energy in his body to the golden tree, just like the golden priests of the holy city from generation to generation, who were born from the energy of the golden trees and would feed the energy back after their death.

The Holy City relies on the energy of the Golden Ivies for support, and this model has lasted for tens of thousands of years. As long as the golden bloodline exists, they will continue to prosper.

But is it really prosperous?

After the decline of the Golden Clan, the remaining Ivi could only stay in this small puddle in the Holy City.

It seems to be a continuation, but it is more like a lingering death. Flock also discovered some secrets from the three golden trees growing in one place.

For example, why he could hardly find the Golden Clan outside the Holy City, and why the Ivies rarely left the Holy City.

Those who can be called Ivi have more orthodox golden blood. In layman's terms, the golden blood is relatively pure and rarely mixed with genes from other races.

The Golden Clan gradually declined in the disaster ten thousand years ago, but that was only the beginning of the decline. After that, the Golden Clan suffered several almost devastating blows. The events and reasons have become vague. Later generations only know that from then on, the only place where the Golden Clan lived was the Holy City.

Perhaps because they had experienced too much suffering, the remaining members of the Golden Tribe established very strict systems and defenses in the Holy City, building a circle of iron walls around them to keep out all external invasions.

Over the past ten thousand years, the Golden Clan has lived in a corner of the country. Ivy's talent and natural ability to purify pollution have allowed them to gain a foothold no matter how turbulent the outside world is, and their position is unshakable.

The Holy City can only survive thanks to the power of the Ivies. In order to maintain their bloodline, they do not allow Ivies to communicate with outsiders and have established strict laws to prevent any attempt to pollute the golden bloodline.

They continued the governance model of the past Golden Priests and Great Ivi, but this model had long been distorted under their new system and turned into a cage that bound Ivi.

Under the strict system of the Holy City, the Ivies not only have to bear the heavy burden of continuing their race, but also hide many things that drag them into darkness.

The small, monotonous yet heavily constrained world and the single bloodline meant that Ivy and the others’ bloodlines would become closer and closer.

The talents and strong mental strength of Ivy and the others made them naturally have delicate and sensitive hearts. In such an environment, problems arose in their bodies and spirits.

It was unknown when it started, but the purer Ivi's golden bloodline, the weaker his body became. He either had various genetic defects or serious mental problems.

The fewer pure golden bloodlines there are, the fewer choices Ivie and others have, forming a vicious cycle.

The physically weak Ivies were unable to leave the Holy City, and those Ivies with mental problems often could not even leave Ota.

This secret was also discovered by Ando a hundred years later.

She discovered the secret in the same way as Flock did a hundred years ago. They accidentally walked into a flower field behind Ota.

The flower field was shrouded in a strange force. Most people would be disturbed by the illusion created by this force and would be unable to enter.

The two people, separated by a hundred years, were not affected by the illusion and stepped into the vast flower field full of flowers.

But that was not a flower field, but a cemetery, belonging to the Ivies, and it had been abandoned for hundreds of years.

In the middle of the flower field, there is a stone book. When Ando and Floch approached, they found that this stone book should be made of the petrified golden tree of Ivy.

The surface of the stone book is smooth, without any words or patterns engraved on it, and it has a faint glow.

However, when they reached out to touch it, they were pulled into a chaotic spiritual ocean, with countless sounds and images passing before their eyes.

When they came out of these scenes with sweat all over their foreheads, they realized that this stone book was the last words and epitaphs written by Ivy and others with their last mental strength after their death.
