Verse 305: LeParrain (5)

The closer you get to the huge oak tree that grew from Fio's fruit, both wizards and mages can feel pure spiritual energy, especially for wizards.

The wizards from the Eastern Kingdoms finally knelt in front of the giant tree and wept bitterly, and in front of the giant tree that had grown from the young branches of the World Tree, they were finally completely free from the distortion and pain caused by years of contact with the subspace.

The head of the Arcane Fist eventually chose to hand over the wizards to Marin, who were found to have no trace of Chaos Erosion after detecting them.

"I'm starting to wonder who that prophet of yours would be, and if he had appeared in front of me earlier, I wouldn't have let Selena die in vain."

Marin felt terrible.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Marin." The head of the Arcane Fist said as he knelt down in front of the giant tree: "When I was very young, I received the help of an aco-priest of the Church of the Lord of Justice, who told me that in the far reaches of the Golden Field, there is a sacred tree called the World Tree, which will protect the soul of every blessed person from eternal calamity...... You are the blessed one, this should be the sprout that grows from the fruit of the twig, praise be to the Lord of justice, our world, there is a refuge in this world......" he finished, bowing his head: "I would like to be the messenger of the sacred tree, and at the same time watch over these shamans. ”

"Captain......" his teammates walked over.

"Victor, take everyone back, I've found my home." The middle-aged man looked at the young member, "Tell Your Excellency Bishop that I am here, waiting for an assassin who can take my life." ”

The latter shook his head: "Let's stay together, we didn't complete the Arcane Fist mission...... My brother has always wanted to find a paradise...... This must be the case. ”

These Arcane Fist mages ended up living with the wizards as neighbors in the farmstead.

Marin was helpless, and at the same time had a certain curiosity about the prophet in the mouths of the wizards, but the wizard named Semi Mikhailovich said that the prophet had never met any of them, not only them, but all the wizards in this world had never seen the prophet, and they were only able to see the prophet in their dreams occasionally.

"It was a foggy world, and the Prophet sat at a long table, and at every meeting, only the wizards he had chosen were entitled to sit on either side of the table."

"Completely random?"

"Yes, I even met an Eastern wizard once, and I am sure that it must be a true god, and it has nothing to do with Chaos, his proposals are mostly organized, sometimes he will give us some tasks, sometimes he will ask us to provide some information about the mortal world, but more often it is prophecy."

Semi's answer left Marin wondering what the hell this prophet was.

But...... Thinking about this, Marin decided to tell Colin that the location of the orphanage had been chosen for him - there was a plain to the north of the Holy Oak, which had been assigned to Marin before, and the new address of the orphanage would be chosen there.

On Selena's side, Marin didn't know what to do, but fortunately, the tower owner of the Mage Tower had reached an agreement with Marin, announcing that he would take away all the members of the wizard and the Arcane Fist, and then use the portal to build a small village east of the Holy Oak, and all the adults used Transfiguration to change their appearance and obtained the status of a new refugee.

The wizard chose to put their children in an orphanage.

This was a surprise to Marin, but considering the damage to the children when the wizard had been displaced during his previous flight, they also felt that it was better to leave them than to let them follow them.

Marin eventually agreed to their decision.

At the same time, the children, along with their wizarding parents, become part of an experiment conducted by Marin to test the effects of the Holy Oak.

This big tree is about a kilometer and a half away from the farm, where wizards can get blessings to reduce the distortion and distortion caused by chaos, and Selena is in the north of the city, almost five kilometers away from the holy oak tree in a straight line, she can confirm the distortion with the naked eye, so Marin wants to see where the effect of the holy oak can radiate farthest, and how many layers will weaken.

The experiment took about half a year, and Marin assigned the task to the Mage Tower, and then he sent the messenger to Jason Statham's house to inform him that the child would be placed in a new orphanage.

The messenger replied that Jason thanked Marlin for his arrangement, and a secret letter came with the messenger.

Marlin read it, and Jason thanked Marlin for his arrangement in the letter, and out of trust in Marin, he was very bold enough to admit that he would not give up the child, but because of family reasons, he could only watch the child be sent away - which almost gave the handle to Marlin.

Marlin admits that he was intimidated by Jason's audacityβ€”that in an age of wizarding and discoloration, it was almost an act of great rebellion among the nobility that he was able to make such a revelation of his ideas.

But because of this, Marin felt that this young man did believe in him very much.

Since someone trusts him so much, Marlin won't waste that trust, and he sends a message back to Jason via a messenger, saying that he will take care of his child.

And when the dust settled, Marin went to the outskirts of the wild burial area, not to see Selena for the last time - after the mage tower cremated Selena, because neither noble family chose to accept the ashes, she was buried here.

As agreed with Jason, Marlin took out the urn and buried the poor lady at the foot of the Holy Oak.

Just like Jason pleaded in the letter, give Selena the best home.

And as the weather got colder, Marin also appeared more and more in Hoffman's office.

The old man had become thinner and thinner as time passed, like a skeleton, and only his eyes, which were still bright, and the joy in his eyes when he saw Marin could not be faked.

"I've heard that you've dealt with a wizard, right?"

About Selena, old Hoffman had also heard about it, and since he asked, Marin naturally answered.

"Yes, you should have heard about it, I don't want to expose this matter until it matures, after all, the arrival of a large number of wizards may not only be good for our city, among the wizards in addition to those who thirst for light, there will also be those who are obsessed with chaos, so I am ready to use these wizards of the Eastern Kingdoms to inform those wizards who have the same thoughts as him through the prophet's meeting, first gather these wizards who are thirsty for light, and then, I hope that those chaos people can fall into the net."

"Kid, you have a good idea, go ahead and do it."

Old Hoffman subconsciously wanted to stroke Marin's head, looking at his trembling and dry hand, Marin squatted down, and then put his hand on top of his head: "My mentor, do you have any other wishes?" ”

"I want to see you and Colin's child born, but there's no time left to think about it, so, Marlin, my child...... Can you come to that world and see me for the last time? ”

Old Hoffman looked at Marin, expecting something.

Marin nodded, "I'll come to see you one last time, my mentor." ”

"Thank you, my child, for putting an end to this path together."

………………

By the second week, Hoffman Sr. had begun to deteriorate in spirit.

Ayers' side was ready, at least a team of legendary paladins had been to his territory in the previous week, in his words, it was like a team of robbers in the house, and if it weren't for the Lord of Justice to help him endorse him, I'm afraid that he Ayrs would never see Marin again.

In this regard, Marin can only sigh - if you can't see me, it's fake, and if you can't see the young ladies of Imprint City, it's real.

Ailes could only smile at this, and then look left and right.

Of course, Marin also has a way of priding news out of his mouth - for example, Seal City has been appearing very frequently recently, and he has seen the leaders of several of the more moderate wizarding groups in the Eastern Kingdoms sitting together, not knowing what they are talking about.

This made Marin very curious - none of the wizards of the Eastern Kingdom in his hand had joined the meeting, and it seemed that the wizards already knew?

Well, in that case, it seems that the prophet should have a prophet's name, and he can't fake it, otherwise how could he have known about such a very secret thing.

Of course, the screening between those in the know will also be carried out to avoid some confusion.

At the same time, Marin also exchanged some information with Ayres about the equipment, which was seen by Ayres when Marin fed Milani with acorns.

This lich means that you, as a blessed person, need to be fed with the World Tree if you have a pet? You know how expensive this thing is in some places.

"It's not expensive, the potion I make from the fruit here is only about a thousand yuan in the black market."

β€œβ€¦β€¦ In Seal City, this thing can be multiplied fivefold, and the thing that can save one's life at the most critical moment is definitely the most expensive strange thing. ”

"And what about this bullet?" Marin pulled out the enchantment bullet he had made himself.

"How much does it cost you?" Ailes looked at it for a long time, and his face changed when he looked at Marin: "This thing can penetrate my soul box to protect it, you know, Demon Breaking Essence Golden Bullet." ”

"Yes, I do it myself, and the cost is not expensive."

"But in Gilt City, this thing is more important than pure gold, because I can see that the magic pattern on it is inscribed with the World Tree, right, for the undead, this is the death knell in the true sense." Ayres shook his head: "I feel like I don't even understand the value of these things compared to you. ”

"At least I won't hit you with it, don't worry."

β€œβ€¦β€¦ You say it so dangerously, but I think you're right, this world is really terrible. Ayers crossed his pelvis with both hands: "Trust me, my friend, if you really want to sell these things in the future, remember, please trade with me, so that I can make more money with you." ”

"Do you want to be a middleman?"

"Of course, I can say that I can always help you find a new owner for the garbage in your hands." Speaking of this, Ayres glanced at the holy oak leaf on Beep's body: "That leaf ......"

"Expensive?"

"In the hands of the priesthood is an excellent alchemy material, your world does not understand its utility, and in many places, this thing is the material of a strange elixir, so, remember what I said, the trade is to find a new owner for the garbage in your hands who is desperate to pursue it."

Marin nodded, indicating that he was used.
