Zuo De thought a lot for a moment, but none of this had any effect on the current situation.

"Well, I've got that. You may question the majesty of the gods, but our lord does not seem to blame you. I'm here to solve your problem. Is there something wrong with your body?"

"My lord, I feel that my magical affinity is getting weaker and weaker. I failed to cast spells in several arcane experiments, much to the annoyance of Miss Belorin. I, I don't know what to do, I can't lose my status as an apprentice, I can only pray for my lord's protection again. ”

"Don't hide it, I know, you're wondering if this power is fake. Of course, Zod knew that this would happen, and in fact, the Fallen Ritual of the Demon Cultist was just the beginning, and it would lure humans into the next ritual like a drug.

"No, I don't have ......"

"It's okay, I said I don't care about that, it's all a gift from my Lord. However, as a spellcaster, you should know that everything has a price, and humans are not actually very suitable for the caster's profession, well, to be precise, the vast majority of humans do not have the talent of a caster. You are not like the elves, especially the elven arcane is more demanding. Zuode explained,

"Because of your wavering faith in yourself, the power of our Lord is slowly weakened. If you want to recover, you need to be more religious. Well, to put it simply, more sacrifices need to be made for my lord......"

"What? more...... Sacrifice?" the girl screamed, and suddenly she lowered her voice again, "The pirates have asked the lower city to give them an explanation, and Mr. Doyle has begun to pay attention to the matter, he is a great wizard...... I can't do this kind of thing anymore......"

"At least that Mr. Doyle hasn't suspected you, has he? Believe me, child, we are all believers in our Lord, and I will help you. Once you've gathered enough sacrifices, I'll perform a full ritual for you, which will even allow you to advance to a full-fledged mage, well, you humans are called wizards, aren't they?"

"Advanced?

"Of course, of course, as I said before, our Lord is a merciful and generous deity. Being a full-fledged wizard is not a very difficult thing to do. Of course, sacrifices are also necessary. ”

"Okay, I'll do it, what do you need me to do if I want to become an official wizard?"

"Don't worry, I'll teach you slowly in the future. ”

"Huh, sir, what do you mean ......?"

"Yes, I will remain with you for a while, by the command of my lord, and teach you some rules of the church well. And......" Zode paused for a moment, then said, "Your current strength is too weak, I can give you access to some other special abilities, so that you can better serve my master." ”

"Thank you so much, Lord Zode. Fianna said excitedly.

"No thanks, it's all a gift from my lord!" said Zod, yawning, then jumping onto the table and asking:

"How have you done with me asking you to train more believers for our lord?"

"This ......" The girl hesitated a little, she lowered her head and muttered, "My brother Ram has great respect for my lord, and I hope to make him a qualified believer......"

"Well, it's true that I didn't think it through. Zuo De had such an expression, and then said, "You have done a good job, I will teach you slowly." ”

......

"Praise be to God, who has mercy on us and has nurtured us with his bounty in his grace and love for the world. Constantly, from today to forever, the world will be endless......"

At the dinner table, Zod began to teach Fianna and Ram how to pray before the meal.

"My Lord is a wise man in the darkness, a god of wisdom and courage, and he will guide the world out of darkness and confusion. Scatter the seeds of hope all over the world......"

Looking at Zod, who was walking around the dining table, Ram asked his sister in a low voice,

"Sister, where is Em now, is she in the kingdom of God of my Lord?"

"Shut up! Fianna scolded.

"Alas!" Zuode sighed inwardly as he looked at the two children. There is a long way to go to build faith.

......

Kaguya Forest, the gateway to Soul City in the lower town, is the back garden of the elves. The Forest of the Bright Nights not only provides a large amount of food for the elves in Seente City, but also serves as the first line of defense to defend Seente City. It is very difficult for outsiders to pass through the forest without permission.

It was getting late, and Zode and Fianna were riding on the back of a white dragon horse, and were galloping towards the city of Seente at the top of the hill. At night, Kaguya Forest is unusually quiet and dark, and it is strange that there are hardly any small animal sounds other than Ryoma stepping through the deathly silence. Thinking of the rumors about this forest, Fianna couldn't help but shudder.

"What are you afraid of?" asked Zode curiously.

"Ah, Lord Zode!" said the girl, who seemed startled by the sudden sound.

"Didn't I tell you, after entering the elven city, don't call me Lord anymore, it will make those elves wary. You can call me Zuode, and my current identity is your pet. What spellcaster would call his Lord?"

"Yes, yes, Zuodeda...... Ah, no, Zode, I see. “

"You haven't answered my question yet, you shouldn't have passed through this place for the first time, this is the city of elves, why are you afraid?"

"It's this forest...... The people of Downtown call it the 'Spider Forest', and it's said to be a scary place where no accidentally intruding creature can get out. It is said that there are a lot of ...... living in it Spiders, they will eat all creatures that are not invited by the elves......" Fianna shuddered again at the sight of the horrific scene.

"Why, outside the beautiful city of Seent, is there such a terrible place?"

"Cut, what's this, do you think the elves are all elegant and harmless creatures? It's too naïve! The elves can become the overlord race of this world, how can they govern you alien races without any means! Hmph, don't talk about this spider, it's their god queen...... Ahem, it's nothing ......" Zuo De, who knew that he was a little speechless, immediately closed his mouth.

"Hey, you also know Her Highness the Elven God, what did you just want to say?"

"Nothing, that's not what you know. Don't speak, look, the city of Thread has arrived!"

After climbing over a small hill, Zuode's vision suddenly opened up, and the oppressive feeling from the Kaguya Forest was suddenly shattered by the impact of the scenery in front of them.

"Is this the city of Seent, the pearl of the Northland of the elves?

What appeared before their eyes was a splendid and wonderfully beautiful city.

A giant tree with almost no edge rising from the ground and soaring into the sky, this is the World Tree Aienfam. It is at the foot of this majestic tree that the elves have built a wonderful city. It has no walls, no roads, and not even obvious man-made structures. The elves use the roots, trunks, branches and leaves, tree holes, tree nodules and other parts of the World Tree to form countless strange but unique houses.

It's also a city that never sleeps, and even though it's late, the city of Seant is still lit up, and countless strange insects light up the glow on their bellies, reflecting the whole city beautifully. The inhabitants roam freely, and most of them are elves, but there are also some other races.
