Demons Beside You (The Demons Beside Me)

"It's not that fast. It should take about a month."

"Can't you determine the exact time?"

"To become an elf envoy, you must first pay homage to your ancestors and obtain their approval, then accept the blessings of the elves, and then gain the approval of at least 90% of the tribe. The ancestors represent the dead, the elves represent nature, and the tribe represents the living. Only this After all three are approved, you are qualified to become an elf envoy, and then you can sacrifice the dragon's blood to the World Tree, and let your outstanding achievements be heard by millions of people."

Having said this, Lila Gaevich pulled up his sleeves, and a bright red mark appeared on the sleeves.

"This elf brand will become weaker every day. The day when this elf brand disappears will be the day when I face the test of all things in the world. It is estimated that there will be about thirty days left."

"I can understand the first three, but do you have dragon blood?"

"Amanda Dill is a dragon, so of course his blood is dragon blood."

"What about the World Tree? Does the World Tree really exist in this world?"

"In the legend of our elves, the elves are the fruits that grew from the World Tree. They turned into elves after falling to the ground, so we are the children of the World Tree. In the minds of every elf, the World Tree is real. "

"You said the World Tree exists, but where is it?"

"I don't know. Every elf is looking for the World Tree. They have been looking for it since ancient times."

"What about outstanding achievements? Have you done anything great?"

"I had someone write a legendary adventure biography with my name as the protagonist, and distributed tens of millions of copies. Currently, this book has been at the top of the bestseller list for three weeks. .”

Chen Zhao almost vomited blood when he heard Lila Gaevich's words.

"Is this okay? Isn't your ceremony a little too rigorous?"

"This ceremony is an ancient ceremony. At that time, only truly legendary heroes were qualified to compile their experiences and great deeds into books and spread them for people to admire and worship. But in this era, as long as you have money, these problems have become It’s no longer a problem, and the restrictions in the past have lost their meaning.”

Chen Zhao grinned: "Is it really okay for you to desecrate the ancestors' rituals like this?"

"Do you think our ancestors of the elves are very strict?" Lila Gaevich rolled his eyes: "Cut off a tyrant's head, kill an evil dragon, defeat an army, destroy a country, and save a country. For a nation to challenge a demon king, it needs to complete at least three of them before it can be called a great achievement. Do you think any of the elf messengers who appeared among the elves in the past really completed three of them?"

Chen Zhao was also a little stunned when he heard this. The ancestors of the elves were also very ambitious. Any of these great achievements was almost an impossible task.

It actually requires three of them to be called a great achievement. Even Chen Zhao, the only one he is confident about is killing an evil dragon. The other tasks are almost impossible to complete.

"Actually, in the past, those elves used to fabricate their great achievements to gain the recognition of World Tree, but in this era, it has become more convenient."

Indeed, according to Lila Gaevich, in the past era of underdeveloped communication, it would take years or even decades for a person's biography to spread.

But now there is no such trouble, there are rich and powerful people like Lila Gaevich.

As long as he is willing to spend money, his name can be known to the whole world in half a month.

Anyway, Chen Zhao just felt that this ceremony was too perfunctory.

"What is the significance of this elf messenger?"

"It's just a title." Lila Gaevich said.

Chen Zhao curled his lips, obviously not believing what Lila Gaevich said.

The complex rituals he went through so much trouble to perform were definitely not as simple as just for a title.

But since he didn't say anything, Chen Zhao didn't ask any further questions.

"Okay, I'll take it."

Chen Zhao said: "Let me know when you feel like you are going to survive the tribulation."

Lira Gaevitch nodded.

"By the way, the last Pacific storm this year in the Pacific will arrive on the fourth day after Christmas."

"What do you mean?" Chen Zhao looked at Lila Gaevich in confusion.

"Mr. Chen, have you been inquiring about Treasure Island?"

"Yes." Chen Zhao knew that he had asked Lila Gaevich and asked him to help collect all the information about Treasure Island.

"I got a diary left by an adventurer hundreds of years ago. He recorded a poem in his diary. I am waiting for the storm to come. I am a petrel chasing the storm. Wherever the wind goes, I will go. It will be the dream land of all explorers and pirates, and I will enjoy endless glory and wealth."

Lila Gaevich said: "After this adventurer left this diary, he went to look for the legendary Treasure Island."

"Storm, Haiyan?"

Skull Hanks once said that there was a witch in his team. When the storm came, the witch transformed into a petrel and guided them to follow the storm and find the seven mysterious islands, and then use the mysterious seven islands to find their final destination. Treasure Island.

Chen Zhao was not worried about the treasure on Treasure Island. There was no telling whether or how much treasure there was.

What really worries Chen Zhao is another issue.

Who sent the skull Hanks to Chen Zhao.

Although the source of the letter is explorer Finetti.

However, in Chen Zhao's impression, Finidi should have little to do with supernatural events.

So Chen Zhao was very doubtful whether it was Hanks, the skull sent to him by Finetti.

Or maybe someone sent Chen Zhao a skull under the guise of Finidi's name.

Chen Zhao has also been unable to contact Finidi.

He expressed great doubts as to whether she was still alive.

The first thing Finetti sent her was a metal object, referring to the golden curse on Kamassa Island.

The second time I sent myself Hanks the Skull.

It seems like she never sent herself anything good.

Skull Hanks seems to be to guide Chen Zhao to Treasure Island.

In other words, someone has already landed on Treasure Island and wants to guide Chen Zhao to find Treasure Island.

What is the purpose?

Share the wealth of Treasure Island with yourself?

Chen Zhao would not be so naive.

There are only two reasons for landing on Treasure Island.

One possibility is to harm yourself, and the other possibility is that you need help or rescue.

Apart from these two possibilities, Chen Zhao could not think of a third possibility.
