proceed to the next tier Fong stepped
forward to address the Lord I shall be
direct we will not linger here long we
are headed to the central Courtyard and
wish not to waste time you value your
life too so do not impede us understood
the Lord nodded vigorously of course of
course everything I do is due to the
prophecy left by the red bearded old man
he said that if one day the ancient
ceiling array from the Misty land of
niame were activated all who emerged
from the teleportation array must be
slain otherwise we would plunge into
disaster I never anticipated that this
ancient Relic would truly activate I was
quite frightened believe me there will
be no next time do you un patted the
Lord's small bald head remember your
words after concluding their
conversation with the Lord the group set
off toward the central Courtyard the
67th tier is an expansive Realm situated
in the mid-tier of the nine Realms the
central area is the courtyard surrounded
by a ring of oceans to the east lies the
land of giants yoten Hamp on either side
of the courtyard are the Misty land of
niame and the fiery land of musel hame
above the courtyard floats a vast aerial
continent known as alheim this
encompasses the entirety of the 66th TI
S map. as for the highest tier of the
nine Realms asgar does not reside within
the 65th tier once a Rainbow Bridge
connected the courtyard to the Skyward
Asgard but now that bridge lies
shattered the teleportation array
leading to the 68th tier along with the
core of the 67th tier seal is located
where the courtyards Rainbow Bridge has
broken the courtyard Remains the realm
of humanity as it has always been yet
the core seal is not guarded by humans
but by a dragon named fafner this Dragon
strength is not particularly formidable
if judged solely by level it barely
qualifies as a mid-tier sanctum however
the frustrating truth is that locating
fafner is exceedingly difficult although
he resides in the courtyard no one has
ever discovered him for he is both a
dragon and not a dragon this tale is one
they would later learn he is said that
long long ago fafner was a dwarf who
after being cursed by a ring transformed
into a dragon though he gained immense
power he also lost his freedom forever
dwelling underground guarding The
Treasure of neangan ultimately he was
slain by the descendant of the the god
king Odin wielding a Divine sword
countless years later the appearance of
a group of individuals divided the
Realms of the nine and took away the
seed of the world tree that bore them
point one of the ancient ones wielding
terrifying power resurrected fafner
transforming him into the guardian of
the courtyard seal simultaneously he
also acquired the ability to shift
between dwarf and dragon forms the
teleportation array in midgard
necessitates a total of five fragments
for Activation these five fragments
correspond to the Mist Kingdom the Fire
Kingdom yoten midgard itself and the
celestial Realm of alheim the fragment
from the Mist Kingdom has already been
effortlessly obtained by the group
marking the simplest task the most
Troublesome aspect however lies in
retrieving the fragment from fafner the
reason it is troublesome is that this
particular Guardian differs from others
who guard the fragments he Harbors no
intention of Confrontation and instead
deliberately evades capture the more
they pursue the more he Retreats
locating him within the the vast expanse
of midgard is not akin to searching for
a needle in a hay stack but rather akin
to finding a stone on a planet that
appears different yet fundamentally
similar to countless others the journey
from niame to midgard alone took them
half a month D you consider this
duration brief the sanctum can Traverse
the void and half a month would suffice
for them to exit the solar system yet
