Delusion Master

The little black bear almost cheered when he saw this emerald green mountain in the ice and snow, ran and jumped into the hot spring, splashing a lot of water.After his head popped out, he turned back into the appearance of a dark elf, with water droplets rolling on his dark skin, as beautiful as an obsidian that has fallen into water.

He threw the wet animal skin onto the shore, took a bath as if no one was there, and called Shirno to come with him.

The little duke tightened his collar, shook his head reservedly, and politely declined: "No thanks, but I can help you watch out."

"What kind of wind?" Ye Quan grabbed a handful of fragrant grass leaves and scrubbed his body, and said nonchalantly, "I don't mind being looked at by people, just like trees, birds and beasts in nature don't mind."

Shirno wanted to take Franken away, hesitated for a moment, knelt down and asked, "Yequan...do you have a father? Where is he?"

Ye Quan rubbed his slender and strong waist with grass juice: "Yes, I am not a parthenogenesis of red tree. But I have never seen him, he must be a commoner. I heard that my mother was drunk at the time, He had sex, and when he woke up, he felt that this incident had tarnished his identity as the chief priest, so he fed him to the spider."

Shirno was a little shocked: "You...will you feel sad when you find out? After all, you are your biological father..."

Ye Quan stopped his movements, a pair of pigeon blood ruby-like pupils were gorgeous and cold, like flames on the battlefield, shining with a strange beauty.

"Not sad. This is the fate of male drow. If I stay in the underground city, maybe one day I will die like him, without dignity. This is how we have come here for more than 1000 years; from childhood to adulthood , I don’t think anything will change. But now, I have a new idea—”

He stretched out an index finger with a sharp nail, swayed it twice in the air, and found the right direction—northwest—pointing like an arrow above the clouds: “I want to go back to the time when I joined hands with the white elves to drive the drows out of the sky.” Enter the Holy See underground and destroy it. Then lead the male clansmen to leave the underground and return to the forest under the sun. I will try my best to slowly resolve the resentment and estrangement with the white elves." He turned his fingertips and tapped My heart said: "I think Ye Quan also hopes so."

Hilno was silent for a moment, and said in a low voice: "I am not as great as you, I only hope that my father can..." He suddenly pursed his lips and stopped talking, got up and walked towards the other companions not far away.

On the grass beside another hot spring pool, Bai Yuan was observing the magic map.He enlarged the scale, and the terrain and buildings above became bigger and more obvious.He pointed to one of the half-hidden towers, which seemed not too far away from this mountain depression: "We can fly here first, which is about a hundred miles away from Lingkong City, and look for a teleportation array. No, let’s go on foot.”

Wei Lin fiddled with the dense fog on the map with his fingertips, trying to see the whole picture of the tower, but failed, it seemed to be shrouded by a powerful force.Although it has been abandoned for many years, and that power has gradually consumed more than half of it in the long time, it still has enough energy to protect the hometown.

"Mist Tower on Misty Mountain, the former residence of the Holy Light. It is said that 200 years ago, he was a popular candidate for the Pope, but for some reason he resigned from his teaching position and lived in seclusion here. He died not long after. If we If you are lucky, if you find the teleportation circle and restart it, you will most likely arrive at Lingkong City directly, so you don’t have to worry about the magic force field blocking flying beasts in the air.” Wei Lin said.

The others didn't have any comments, only Farislan added a few words: "Saint Raphael of the Light Law, he was already famous when I was still alive. In fact, everyone regretted that he didn't compete for the pope at that time, otherwise The Holy See will not be what it is now, and many people secretly criticize it as a black church."

He said with a look of nostalgia: "I have been to that mage tower two or three times. There is indeed a teleportation array on the top of the tower, which can lead to Lingkong City. I don't know what happened now."

"Then let's eat some dry food and take a rest before setting off?" Shirno suggested.

Wei Lin looked back at Yequan—he had already left the hot spring pool, and was stuffing a bunch of berries from a bush in his hand, as if he was hungry enough—nodding his head and said: "Okay, we will leave in 15 minutes .”

+ + + + + +

More than two hours later, a silver Pegasus and two griffins circled through the thick fog and approached the majestic tower on the top of the mountain.

Under the guidance of Farislan, they landed on a platform that extended out from the tower.There are no railings around the sword-like platform, like a pier hanging high in the air.This should be the place where the flying beasts used to take off and land. Wei Lin also saw shallow claw marks on the dark mottled stone slab, as well as traces of fumigation, but the slate itself was almost undamaged and much stronger than it looked. .

Farislan followed his gaze and explained, "It was sprayed by the dragon's breath."

Dragon?Wei Lin was stunned. The tower in front of him was like the remains of a time behemoth. It was ancient, desolate and silent, but it could still make people imagine the grand occasion.

They left their mounts on the suspended platform and walked towards the gate of the tower at the end of the platform.

The gate is five or six meters high, and the two doors are closed. There is a world tree embossed on it. The forked branches are covered with sun, moon, stars, mountains and rivers. The top of the tree is radiating light, symbolizing the seat of the Supreme God.

Shirno asked Franken to push forward, but the door remained motionless.Farislan said with emotion: "The magic on the door still works, great Rafael!"

"World Tree..." Wei Lin rubbed his chin in thought.The contents of the Book of Imprisonment flicked through his mind, and finally stopped on a certain page in the middle. On it was a set of magic circles composed of nine runes, called "World Tree".

He quickly took out nine top-level magic crystals, quickly wrote on them with a magic pen, and then embedded these rune stones one by one between the branches of the relief.

There was a faint light in the crack of the door, getting brighter and brighter, like the rising sun, and finally opened inward with a bang.

Farislan asked in surprise: "This set of runes is also recorded in the Book of Imprisonment?"

Wei Lin nodded: "The second volume is all about runes and circles."

Farislan murmured: "This book is really weird... Adelaide could only read the first volume and use it as a book of witchcraft. You said that the second volume is a rune circle, so the last one What is a roll?"

Wei Lin shrugged: "I'm not too sure. Although I can understand the text and patterns in the third volume, it's limited to reading and engraving, and I can't really use it yet."

"...No matter what, it still looks like an evil book, and it has a strong binding force on the soul. It's not comfortable to live in it." Farislan complained, and floated into the door first Inside.

Guided by a person who is familiar with the knowledge, the next journey is much simpler. There are no living things in the tower, and the remaining restrictions have been broken one by one. They successfully reached the top floor and saw six pillars standing on the white marble floor , surrounded by a circle, with a hexagonal star-shaped groove drawn in the middle.

Wei Lin lit it up with the last remaining six magic crystals.

The teleportation array emits bright white light, and the miniature schematic diagram on the pillar shows the transmission network nodes it is connected to, the nearest one of which is the Rainbow Bridge outside Lingkong City.

"Wait, what is this node?" Wei Lin carefully found a spot of light that almost overlapped with Lingkong City, and the writing on it was blurred, "...what relic?"

Farislan leaned over: "Looking at the distance, it should be directly below Lingkong City...there is a great rift valley, with walls standing thousands of feet high and no grass growing. It is a bottomless abyss. What remains can there be?"

"Remains, relics, I'm sure I've heard someone say that word... it's you, Farislan! You said that the Book of Souls was Adelaide from a place in the Great Rift Valley in the North 200 years ago. Obtained from the ancient ruins'." Wei Lin completely copied every syllable and intonation of the other party from his memory, "Could it be that this teleportation circle can still lead to that great rift valley? What's in it?"

"Who knows," Farislan said. "Do you want to go in and see?"

Wei Lin thought for a while, then shook his head: "No, although I'm a little curious, I don't want to cause any complications. I plan to get rid of Wang Yulun as soon as possible and leave. There are more important things to do." He glanced at Bai Yuan, Show a smile full of deep meaning.

Bai Yuan almost took him into his arms and kissed him, but finally held back, and at the same time felt that the one or two light bulbs next to him were very obtrusive.

——Hurry up and finish the task and go out!He suppressed a trace of anxiety in anticipation, and after a momentary emotion, he returned to his indifferent expression.

"Let's go, I hope this teleportation array can send us directly to 'His Majesty the Pope'." Wei Lin said.

Farislan chuckled: "Impossible, it takes half a day to walk from the Rainbow Bridge to the temple hall where the Pope is!"

"Maybe Wang Yulun has ordered someone to prepare the carriage and wait for us at the bridge." Wei Lin laughed.

+ + + + + +

"—Well, I guessed it right. You not only have a pretty face, but you also have a smart brain." Farislan admitted helplessly.

The white light of the teleportation circle gradually dissipated. As soon as they walked out of the hexagonal pavilion at the end of the Rainbow Bridge, they saw two Holy See carriages parked in front of them.

The carriage is very gorgeous, the whole body is as white as jade, inlaid with countless pearls and colored gemstones, each is pulled by four silver flying horses, and there is no driver.Silver Pegasus retracted its wings, lowered its head docilely, and occasionally snorted lightly, not knowing how long it had been waiting.

"Should we... just get in the car like this?" Shirno asked his companion's opinion with some hesitation.

"Come on, do you still have to walk on two legs?" Wei Lin comforted him with a smile, "There is an old saying in our hometown, it is a blessing or a disaster, and there is no way to avoid it. When you see Wang Yulun, you will know everything .”

He got into the car first.Bai Yuan followed closely behind, sitting opposite him.Farislan didn't know what to think, and got into the Book of Imprisonment as soon as he boarded the car.

Shirno took Franken into the second car, and Yequan followed indifferently.

As soon as a few people sat down, the Silver Pegasus spread its wings and flew into the air.

Looking out from the window of the carriage, Wei Lin could only see a sea of ​​white clouds under the Rainbow Bridge, and the sky in the distance symbolized the sacred colorful lights.

Not long after, Lingkong City appeared in front of it, quiet, holy and resplendent, with flowers and fountains surrounded by countless temple-like buildings, and the top of every tower and castle shone with the light of the sun, moon and stars.

It's just like the eternal kingdom of gods in the legend.

The Silver Pegasus landed on the square outside the largest palace in the city, the door of the carriage opened quietly, and layers of stairs appeared out of thin air.

A group of people got off the carriage and stood in the grand circular square.The guards of the Holy See in red clothes on both sides stood upright, extending to the entrance of the palace supported by high steps and countless Roman columns.

Wei Lin glanced around and sneered, "It's quite a posture." He stepped up the steps and walked through the long corridor.

The door at the end suddenly opened at the moment they arrived, and the grand and ethereal orchestra sounded, playing the sacred song "Grace" composed by the chanter Mellie.

Meili's remains were warming in Bai Yuan's arms, as if summoned by some irresistible divine power, ready to come out.

Bai Yuan pressed it tightly, and looked up into the depths of the hall - the divine seat was high above, shining brightly.

A figure was wearing a pure white dress robe, a high crown on his head, and a scepter in his hand, sitting on the throne of God.
