Krum City.

One of the most remote and tallest old houses in the main city.

This temporary old house, which was used as a "sacrificial temple", was originally unremarkable, and in the past, only Eru came and lived alone, and the inhabitants of the city did not have much respect for it.

It's just that there is something unusual today.

Soon after the fire was extinguished at night, this "sacrificial temple" became a forbidden existence in the eyes of the elves.

Luo Jia sent people to order the idlers and others not to approach or disturb, but this could not stop the residents from watching from a distance, outside the cordon.

"Why pull up the line of defense? What happened to the sacrificial temple? ”

There is a question of an unclear situation.

At this time, the surrounding residents would whisper everything about the previous night, and as they spoke, they would sneak a look at the house with a complex expression of fear and awe.

After all, the news of the evil god spread.

The Grand Priest of the Sacrificial Hall held a summoning ceremony, but unexpectedly communicated with a mysterious being, who could not bear to witness the extermination of the elves, so he gave his help and wiped out the enemy with magic vines and flames.

This is the version of the story that has been circulated.

Of course, out of respect for the mysterious life that saved Krum, the standard title is "unknown god", as for evil or not...... At least for them, Cheng Lin is by no means evil.

However, due to the way he appears and some problems with his magical style, although the residents have respect for him, they still have some fear in their hearts.

……

"Fear is not a bad thing, only fear is respect."

Seeing this scene, Luo Jia whispered to the priests beside him.

He was now dressed in a dignified, complicated, and gorgeous service, and walked towards the sacrificial hall with a group of high-ranking priests from Krum City.

As the night passed, the sun had risen the next day, and the whole city shone brightly, and the wind was much lighter.

The aftermath of the catastrophe was filled with a lightness that the inhabitants rejoiced.

Along the way, the residents and soldiers next to him saluted, and Luo Jia did not stop, and his eyes were only on the lonely building.

When he finally reached the gate of the building, he saw Margaret guarding the door.

"The ...... Awakened? ”

Luo Jia asked in a low voice.

In fact, since the enemy was finished last night, Cheng Lin returned to the sacrificial hall in full view of everyone, and Luo Jia wanted to visit - he had too much to say.

As an insider, Ai Lu was quickly called over by him to understand the situation, and then Luo Jia asked Ai Lu to use as a "microphone" to express her willingness to meet Cheng Lin.

It's just that Cheng Lin refused: I'm tired, I'll talk about it tomorrow.

Although he was rejected, Luo Jia was not depressed, it just so happened that there were too many things to deal with in Krum City after the war, Luo Jia was busy all night, and finally barely settled down, so he bathed and changed his clothes, put on a dress that matched his status, and came to visit again.

Margaret, who was standing at the door, glanced at her marshal, nodded, let go of the door, and said, "The ...... Don't like to be too noisy. ”

Luo Jia was stunned, then turned around and said to the priests behind him, "You wait here." ”

"Yes."

Turning around, Luo Jia exhaled a faint breath, and hesitantly raised his right hand, about to knock on the door.

Just as the knuckles of his fingers were about to buckle on the brown-black wooden door, a faint voice came from inside: "Come in." ”

The temporary Elven King pursed his lips, lowered his hand, and pushed open the wooden door.

With a slight "squeak", the two doors slowly separated, the doors faced east, and the rising sunlight spread like water from behind Luo Jia, and a bright fan-shaped spot appeared on the floor, which slowly expanded.

The scene inside gradually appeared in Luo Jia's eyes.

The empty hall was a little dark, five of the six arched windows on either side were covered by crimson curtains, and only one was open.

The breeze blows the hem of the curtains, and the old altar in the middle does not meet the standards of worshipping the gods, but at this moment, it does not seem to exist as an altar, but more like a table.

There were a few strange colorful things under the corners of the table, which looked like the shells of some kind of items, and Loga's nose twitched, and he smelled something strange in the air.

It seems to be some kind of food, but it's very unfamiliar.

The powerful and mysterious deity was now sitting on a large solid wood chair on the left side of the altar, lying back slightly, holding several ancient monsters in his hands that were also colorful and green, and the white mask covered his true face.

On the right side of the altar, there was also a chair, and the Grand Priest Ailu, dressed in a moon-white robe, was sitting there with a nervous expression, holding something in her hand, but much less.

She looked at Cheng Lin and Luo Jia, she wanted to stand up but didn't dare, but she just sat on the chair with half her buttocks, looking a little anxious.

"Play your cards." Cheng Lin urged.

Ai Lu bit her lip, with a worried face, she reluctantly pinched out two playing cards and put them on the altar, and said weakly in her mouth: "Yes three." ”

Cheng Lin grinned: "I can't afford it." ”

"Oh, it's gone."

“……”

Cheng Lin was silent, and with some discouragement, he threw a 9-piece dragon in his hand on the table, and began to doubt his life.

Probably because he pretended to be too forced last night and ran out of luck, so that he played two rounds of poker in a row, and he won three except when Elu didn't know the rules at the beginning, and then he kept losing.

If it weren't for the beautiful elf girl on the other side, Cheng Lin would have picked up the Silver Moon Cane and greeted the other party's head a long time ago.

sighed.

After saying "stop playing", Cheng Lin turned his head to look at Luo Jia and said casually: "There is a chair over there, sit down, you're tired after a busy night, right?" ”

probably didn't expect this mysterious "evil god" to be so ...... easy-going, even Luo Jia, who has the title of "Elf", couldn't help but be stunned, so he shook his head and said, "No......"

"Forget it, I'll just be polite to you." Cheng Lin smiled.

Loga: "......"

Coughing lightly, Cheng Lin reined in, after all, the other party is the king of elves, and wearing such a grand ceremony to pay a visit to himself in the news broadcast can be regarded as a meeting between the heads of state of the two countries, right? You can't be too relaxed.

Serious, be serious.

He said to himself.

"After fighting for so long, even elves will be tired, it's understandable, I'll already tell you about it, so I won't be verbose anymore." Cheng Lin sat in the chair, put his left hand on his knee, and played with the silver moon cane with his right hand, and said in a leisurely tone.

Luo Jia Zhengse said: "Although I don't know where you came from, but you came to save Krum, I thank you for your kindness on behalf of the entire Krum City and the entire elf clan......"

"You're welcome," Cheng Lin thought to himself that what saved you was the deduction procedure, no, to be precise, it was also the one that brought you disaster, so there was really nothing to thank for it, after a pause, he continued, "I don't care too much about these etiquette things, besides...... The elven crisis hasn't been resolved, has it? ”

After he said this, this gorgeously dressed and taciturn elf suddenly made a gesture and was about to kneel, but Cheng Lin had no choice but to stop him: "If you have something to say, I don't like these etiquette." ”

"Yes," replied Logar, a heavy and earnest look on her handsome and majestic face, "most of the enemy has been destroyed, and the city of Krum has escaped destruction for the time being, but it has only been delayed for a while.

Erosion is slowly approaching.

Although it is still far from here at the moment.

But based on our experience, in a few months, at the latest, the erosion will spread to Krum.

It was an invisible enemy, difficult to resist by sword and magic.

When the time comes, we will still die! ”

"I don't know why you helped us stop the enemy, and I know that such a plea is rude, but ...... We have no other way, our people are willing to pay any price, and I beg you to stop the erosion! ”

Luo Jia's voice was desolate, this marshal, who had always been very calm in front of his people, only then revealed his powerlessness.

Even the elves, with their extraordinary combat power, still can't stop the erosion.

Krum escaped destruction for the time being, but in a few months, the silent death would still come.

……

Silent.

Silence pervaded the entire hall.

After saying this, Luo Jia lowered her head, as if waiting for the verdict of fate.

Sitting on the edge of the altar, Eru stood up nervously and looked at the figure on the other side with a kind of expectant gaze.

There was silence for a while.

Just when Loga was about to despair.

The white-masked figure suddenly whispered, "Okay." ”

"What?"

Luo Jia Huo Ran looked up.

Because the "yes" was so soft, he suspected he had misheard.

Cheng Lin could only repeat again: "I said...... All right. ”

A stream of blood welled up on Luo Jia's face, which was a sign of excitement: "What do you mean...... Willing to help us stop the erosion? ”

"It's not a block."

Cheng Lin held up a finger and denied the claim.

Then, as if to sigh softly, "To be precise...... Cleanse. ”

Among the tasks given by the system, saving Krum is only a side quest, and the main quest of this deduction plot is: purification

"The World Tree has changed, and erosion is born because of it, so simply blocking erosion is not a good medicine, and there is only one way to really solve the problem, and that is to ...... Purify the World Tree! ”

Cheng Lin said seriously.
