Chapter 54: The Elven Secret
The skull turned redder and redder as the temperature rose, and Jack could feel the soul inside tormenting and struggling.
"Young man, if there's anything you want to ask, I'll answer you!" suddenly a voice rang out behind Jack.
When Jack looked back, he realized that it was Marfa Xingge who had returned through the spatial rift. Jack thought that it might come back, but to Jack's surprise, Marfa Xingge actually grew a body. If memory serves, half of his body should have been destroyed by himself. One of his hands should still be on the platform!
"Elves, they're an amazing species! I'd love to study their perverted DNA!" Jack silently admired in his heart. However, because of the clothes, Jack didn't realize that half of his body was made of wood!
Perhaps sensing that his staff was suffering, he rushed back in time. But Jack didn't stop asking about the skull because of the appearance of Marfa Xingge. Instead, Jack is a little more aggressive in infusing magic.
"I've seen your crystal ball... How much do you know about the rest of the story?" asked Jack, holding back the discomfort of using a lot of magic again, staring at Marfa Xingge word by word.
Jack was actually tempted to ask how much you knew about the Queen's necklace. But being too direct may make the other party avoid it. Now there is no other way but to follow the routine!
In order to prevent the other party from suddenly attacking, although Jack did not hold up the magic shield, he snatched his hand out.
Marfa Xingge didn't have a magic shield either, but looking at his face, it could be seen that he was extremely dissatisfied that Jack was still using his staff.
When Marfa Xingge sensed that the staff was in trouble, he risked being surrounded and annihilated. Good thing it's not that dangerous here!
"Please let him go, and I'll tell you anything you want to know. Marfa Xingge's tone slowed, even a little pleading with Jack.
Jack didn't expect a great magician like him to care about a staff. Although the staff has a talking skull, it seems to be nothing more than a tool. He didn't have to do this at all, was this staff any different except that it could speak?
But it's not difficult to understand when you think about it, a person who has a dog for a long time will have feelings. What's more, it's a staff that has accompanied him for I don't know how many years. Perhaps for a thousand years, this staff was the only one who was chatting with him.
Thinking of this, Jack slowed down the infusion of magic.
Marfa Xingge's expression softened slightly when she saw Jack slow down to inject magic.
"What happened after that was simple, the queen's soul was corrupted and degraded by demons, and the elves were divided internally soon after. Then, when the orcs and humans took advantage of the elves' preoccupation with themselves, they launched a general attack. However, on that day, countless demons descended from the sky, and even some elven elders opened the door to the plane for them. Although in the end, with the help of the five-colored dragon, the demon invasion was repelled. But the elves and dragons who had suffered heavy losses were captured by humans and orcs!" "Although Marfa Xingge hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he had seen the image of that day on another crystal ball. Although he explained the rest of the matter clearly with a few simple words, every time he recalled that picture, he felt like he had pressed a golden boulder in his heart!
Hearing this, Jack kind of understood.
Otherwise, with the strength of humans and orcs, how could they capture the Holy Mountain.
"Now that you know that it's the demons who really defeat the elves, why are you trying to turn the human home into hell! Jack was a little speechless. Demons, orcs, and humans, among the three, it seems that humans are the weakest. This product is really specially picked soft persimmon pinch!
Listening to Jack's ridicule, Marfa Xingge was not annoyed. Instead, he said calmly: "Because your human power is the most chaotic, only humans can give me the opportunity to cultivate an army of millions of undead." When I have the strength of millions in my hands, I will naturally seek revenge on the orcs and the remaining demonic forces!"
Jack didn't refute anything, after all, what he said was right! No matter what kind of civilization human beings are in that space, they will fight each other for greed, power, and desire!
Besides, Jack doesn't have much affection for the humans of this world!
Just find the secret of the jade tablet, reactivate it, and then return to your own world, and never set foot in this space again!
"Second question, what is your free-flowing spell? I don't think I've seen any record of it in human history!" Jack was eager to figure out what his spell was!
When a space spell is cast, a large amount of space magic fluctuations will be felt. But just now Marfa Xingge cast this spell twice, and Jack didn't sense that there was spatial magic fluctuating!
Hearing that the magician in front of him was interested in his own spells, Marfa Xingge was not surprised! Human greed is the most famous of all races, how could they not be tempted by such powerful spells!
"Sell your soul to the demons of the abyss, and they will give you an equal reward!" said Marfa Xingge with a grim face. As he unbuttoned his clothes, above his heart, a round green circle was spinning. The circle is small, the size of an adult's fist. However, it was divided into three circles, inner and outer circles, and it was densely covered with runes that only demons could understand!
Selling his life to the devil, this quid pro quo Jack is not interested, at least not now! He is still young, there is no need to go to the extreme just after stepping on the road home!
worked hard to track down, and even took out a lot of electronic equipment that was not originally available in this world. But I didn't expect that this space magic actually relied on selling souls to gain power. It seems that all this is in vain!
"Isn't the devil your enemy? Why are you willing to ask them to give you strength! If I am not mistaken, the reason why the devil will give you power is that they must want you, those who desire power, to make a mess of the world. And then they take advantage of the chaos to have another dimensional invasion!" This kind of game of cultivating power within the enemy and using it as his pawn Jack has seen too much in Earth time, and the United States has been doing this since World War II. Even if this person is out of the demon's control in the future, the demon will not feel any loss, and even if the enemy of the so-called enemy is not a friend, it is enough to consume his enemy. The world is in turmoil, and that is exactly what the devil wants to see.
Listening to Jack's taunt, Marfa Xingge was not annoyed, but said very calmly: "In this game, we are just using each other. Besides, if you get something, you must pay something, didn't you humans just promise to send troops to fight back then, and I came to the human race to teach you magic?"
"Hehe, the game, it's a costly game, but even if you turn the entire human race into an army of the undead. You don't deserve to be a player in this game... Do you really think you're qualified?" Although Jack doesn't care about the fate of humans in this world, he is not a person like Marfa Xingge who has a thousand-year-old forbearance. Although he has also undergone great changes, he has become a billionaire from a three-nothing youth in just a few years, and then he is trapped here. But Jack still can't be patient and calm, maybe he has endured too little.
Hearing the person in front of him laughing at him, Marfa Xingge was quite disdainful!
"In your human world, let alone an army of 100,000 undead. Even the generals with thousands of infantry think that they can run rampant in the world! The ambition of mankind gradually swells with the strength you have mastered! If I were a human being, when the demon gave him power, I guess he would not be able to hold back that heart full of desire. For thousands of years, demons have not endowed humans with the power of evil powers! But there are very few truly accomplished ones! But today, Marfa Xingge had not finished speaking, and Jack had already forcibly interrupted him!
"Being picked by the devil and endowed with evil powers, you seem to feel good. Is it a pride to be chosen by one's own enemies? The reason why humanity cannot be as forbearant as you elves is because we do not have the same longevity as yours. You elves, on the other hand, have the longest lifespan except for dragons. But you did not rule the world, you did not bring peace and quiet to the world. On the contrary, the various races in the world will continue to fight and chaos! God has given you a long life and it also represents a kind of responsibility, but you have never taken on such a heavy responsibility!"The more you have, the greater the responsibility, this is like wealth, some rich people will only spend money to show off, while others will use the money where it should go to help more people in need!
Marfa Xingge never thought about this question, the aggressiveness of the orcs, the greed of the humans, the cruelty of the ogres, this is not the fault of the elves! Why should the elves take on the responsibility of world peace.
"The orcs say they will never be slaves, but the elves don't like to be kings. In this world, it is very good that the elves have never taken the initiative to provoke wars, and such things as world peace are not transferred by our will. Marfa Xingge thought Jack's remarks were ridiculous. World peace comes at a high price unless someone unites all races. Otherwise, how could the war stop? Human beings still have constant wars within their own race, not to mention having to face other races that are completely different from themselves!
To accomplish the great unification of the world races, it must be accomplished with blood! Why should the elves pay their noble blood and lives for the sake of these lowly, brutal, and greedy races? Will the unification of you do the elves any good? In the end, it is not the elves themselves who pay the cruel price. Besides, it seems that the responsibility for world peace should be the matter of the five-colored dragon, and it seems that I heard the mentor talk about it a long time ago, when the five-colored dragon was the guardian of this world!
Jack knows that some things are idealistic, and he doesn't plan to say anything more about this issue? It takes time for any civilization to evolve peacefully!
"You want to gain power for revenge, it seems normal logic! But have you ever thought that when you gain this power, your fate is no longer in your hands? If I'm not mistaken, the devil can control you at any time!" Although Jack couldn't understand the circle, he instinctively felt that it was extremely dangerous!
Hearing Jack's words, Marfa Xingge looked down at the slowly rotating magic circle in his heart and was silent for a long time, and then said, "You humans have obtained the mystery of magic from us, but in the end, they were not controlled by us, but destroyed the holy mountain of the elves!"
“... Strong words!" Jack could see that Marfa Xingge was also very complicated in his heart! He was not a magic rookie, he should understand that this deal with the devil was purely a game with the tiger!
