The two humanoid skeletons were no taller than 1.9 meters and 1.8 meters respectively. They looked ordinary, but they brought an unimaginable shock to Klein above the gray fog.

At this moment, he seemed to have returned to the time when he witnessed the light gate and the "cocoon". Although the emotions were different, the shock was almost the same.

“This, this is not the corpse of a giant… This definitely belongs to a human… Are the parents of the Giant King Olmir human?” Klein’s pupils suddenly dilated, as if he wanted to see more clearly.

But no matter how he observed or examined them, he could not find any characteristics of a giant from the two gray skeletons:

Their limbs are of normal proportions and their skulls have two eye sockets. They are definitely not underage giants!

After a brief silence, Klein lowered his hand holding the Seagod's Scepter again, and thoughts flashed through his mind one after another:

"Perhaps they are not blood relatives... Perhaps, the origin of the giants is humans... In the chaotic and crazy First Age, some humans merged with extraordinary characteristics and mutated into cruel, bloodthirsty, irrational giants with reproductive instincts? Their descendants inherited the physical characteristics on the one hand, and gradually regained their mental normality on the other hand, thus stabilizing into a savage and bloody alien race. Among them, the giant king Almir was the first batch of mutators, but he retained a certain degree of sanity to a certain extent, and thus became an ancient god? Is the source of all this really like the myths and legends, the original creator?

After his thoughts settled into speculation, Klein began to imagine more and more doubts:

"Why did the Giant King designate the 'Decay Forest' as a forbidden area, not allowing any living creature to enter?

"You don't want people to know that the origin of the giants is human?

"But if that's the case, we can just cremate our parents' bodies. There's no need to go through so much trouble... And what's with that strong feeling of guilt?

"Who opened the tomb? The ancient sun god who killed the Giant King? The surviving 'God of Dawn' Badhair or other gods of the Giant King's court?

"Also, since the ancestors of giants are humans, what about elves, vampires, and other humanoid supernatural creatures? The ancestor of dragons is actually a lizard?

"Did the confrontation between the humanoid camp and the alien camp in the early and middle period of the Second Epoch have different origins?"

Due to the lack of sufficient clues and information, Klein found it difficult to make any judgments, nor could he think of more possibilities. He had to force himself to gather his thoughts and focus back on the Silver City exploration team.

At this time, Demon Hunter Colin led Lovia, Derrick and others to the front of the stone tablet and saw the corpses in the tomb.

They also fell into an unspeakable silence, and no one spoke for a long time.

Finally, Joshua, wearing red gloves, hesitated and asked:

"These are the Giant King's parents?"

In the eyes of the "Knight of Dawn" from the City of Silver, the heights of the two corpses were indeed not like those of giants, and were even smaller than those of himself when he had just reached adulthood.

If he is a young giant, his body proportions and facial features do not match.

Joshua's question echoed around him, but no one answered it for a while.

After several seconds, Demon Hunter Colin slowly spoke:

“That’s why it’s a secret.”

He did not mention his own thoughts and speculations.

“…Does this mean that the Giants are actually a branch of humans, a differentiation caused by the mutation of extraordinary characteristics?” Upon hearing this, Antina, who had burgundy hair, said thoughtfully.

The ancestor of the giants was human? Derrick was a little dizzy at this possibility, and he always felt that there was a huge difference between the two.

As his thoughts turned, he thought of his companions who had lost control, especially those on the "Giant" route, and vaguely thought that this was not impossible.

Those who lose control often become abnormally large, with their skin completely dyed gray-blue, a huge crack between their eyebrows, and the eyes on both sides are attracted.

"Maybe." Demon Hunter Colin responded briefly.

The members of the Silver City Exploration Team fell silent again.

In this atmosphere, Derrick glanced at the Shepherd Elder Lovia and found that this member of the Six-Man Council had a calm expression, neither solemn nor dazed.

At this time, Demon Hunter Colin looked around and said:

"Form a team of two to three and search the surrounding area to see if there is anything else you can find."

The exploration team immediately came to their senses and began to explore cautiously according to the chief's instructions.

Unfortunately, this "decayed forest" contains nothing of value except trees, tombstones and tombs.

Without further delay, Derrick and Haim exchanged the sealed items on their bodies to prevent their own Beyonder characteristics from being expelled by the "No Dark Cross".

Then, they followed the "Monster Hunter" Colin, walked out of the "Decay Forest", bypassed a huge rock protruding from the mountain wall, and found the huge cave that was thirty meters high.

Outside the cave, there was originally a stone tablet, but it had now shattered and collapsed, and weeds had grown on it.

In the orange-red evening light, there is an indescribable sense of decay and desolation.

Entering the cave, the Silver City exploration team walked along the long-weathered stone slabs and peeling murals, among the withered weeds and rough gravel, exploring forward with extreme caution.

With every step they took, they felt their life fading away and their water draining away.

After an unknown amount of time, the Silver City exploration team finally saw an open gray-blue door.

On both sides of the gate, there were scattered pieces of iron-black fragments, which seemed to belong to some kind of armor.

"There should be guards here." Demon Hunter Colin said simply, took out a bottle of potion and gulped it down.

His light blue eyes quickly turned dark yellow, and two complex dark green symbols appeared in his pupils.

After carefully observing the gray-blue door for a while, he nodded and walked into the dark hall.

After everyone passed through the door and came inside, the hall seemed to be pulled by an invisible hand, rising rapidly with a clanging sound.

Ten or so seconds later, the hall stopped moving upwards, and a magnificent palace supported by stone pillars appeared outside the door, which seemed to be the residence of the guards.

Derrick subconsciously looked around, his eyes sweeping over the various things in the hall, and saw two murals with ancient characteristics.

The protagonist of one mural is a giant wearing a silver full body armor, emitting a bright light, with a group of morning light condensed in the position of his eyes. In the center of the other mural stands sideways a female giant with long dark brown hair, leather armor on top and a long skirt on the bottom. She is holding wheat ears, fruits and other things, and is surrounded by fertile fields, clear lakes, fruit-bearing trees and bright mushrooms.

"God of Dawn" Badhair... "Goddess of Harvest" Omibella... Derrick understood something and nodded slightly.

He then withdrew his gaze and saw that the chief was staring at the mural representing the "Harvest Goddess", his expression remaining as solemn as before.

Is the Chief hoping that Silver City can also have a real "harvest"? Derrick thought thoughtfully, and followed the instructions of the "Shepherd" Elder Lovia, and formed a team with others to search for valuable items here and check if there are any hidden passages.

About seven or eight minutes later, they gathered together and followed Chief Colin Iliad to the gate of the hall.

Colin Iliad inserted the two straight swords in his hands into the gap of the stone slab in front of him, stretched out his hands, pressed on both sides of the door, and with just a force, it opened with a heavy sound.

The brilliant orange light of dusk shone in silently, and the palaces and towers that the Silver City exploration team had seen from afar before appeared in their eyes with great impact.

The hugeness, the grandeur, the epic and mythical feeling became more vivid and shocking as the distance was shortened to the extreme, making everyone subconsciously hold their breath, forget everything else, and immerse themselves in such a scenery.

The same was true for Klein above the gray fog.

This is the royal court of the giants.

This is the true Kingdom of God.

After about ten seconds, Demon Hunter Colin drew his swords, half turned around, and said to Shepherd Lovia:

"Try the road conditions on both sides. I can't see clearly."

The two dark green symbols in his eyes were slowly dissipating.

Luo Weiya said "hmm", took two steps forward and came to the door.

Outside is a platform with stairs on both sides. In front stands a guardrail made of gray-white stone pillars. Facing the tallest building in the area, there is a giant blue-gray gate with countless mysterious symbols engraved on both sides, which looks extremely solemn.

Corridors, stairs and other things connect the stacked palaces and towers together, making it grand and gorgeous.

Lovia's slightly curly silver-gray hair floated up, and the stones on the ground bathed in the light of dusk bulged up and gathered into a gray-white doll.

This doll had no spirituality, and like a puppet being manipulated, it walked to the left.

It went down the stairs, level by level, in the rich orange-red light, helping the exploration team confirm the situation.

Suddenly, its body stopped, and fine silver light burst out from inside, breaking it into countless pieces.

"Shepherd" Lovia was not frightened. She followed the previous steps and made another stone man, letting it move to the right.

This time, the stone man walked all the way to the end of the stairs and stopped at the door of the palace below. Nothing unexpected happened along the way.

Demon Hunter Colin watched attentively the entire time, and only spoke at this moment:

"We'll go to the right, but be careful as well."

Although he didn't detect any danger, the fact that he couldn't see the actual situation with his extraordinary ability itself can explain a lot of problems.

With this reminder, Derrick and the others became more nervous, and the three of them formed a group and began to slowly descend, helping each other.

As he walked up the high stairs, Joshua, who was wearing red gloves, suddenly heard a series of "da, da, da" sounds behind him.

It was like someone was following them slowly and quietly.

The "shepherd" elder Lovia was standing beside them at this time. With the corner of her eye, she could see that the footsteps were definitely not made by her.

Joshua felt a chill in his heart and said in a deep voice:

"There are footsteps behind me."

Lovia tilted her head, allowing the five-meter-tall silver knight to appear in front of her. She looked at Joshua's back with eyes like red flames.

After a few seconds of silence, the "shepherd" elder shook his head:

"Nothing."
