"Hey~ Is that the person you were looking for?" Elsie patted the half-elf on the shoulder, and Orlando looked back to see that it was Finn, who had been taken away by the guards.

Even if it is believed that Link can rescue Finn as long as he reveals his identity, ...... That's a little too fast, isn't it?

Waving his hand, he waited for Orlando to get closer and asked, "What about him?"

Finn glanced at the men to the left and right of the half-elves, but didn't squeak.

"Even if you don't say it now, they'll find out through other channels in a while. Knowing what the boy was afraid of, Orlando hinted that the people around him had a way to find out the news, whether to say it or not, they would know sooner or later.

"He was left for dinner by the lord of the city. As soon as these words came out, not only Elsie and Dodd around Orlando, but even the bartender, who was trying to reduce his sense of zĂ i, couldn't help but glance at Finn.

Orlando put down his glass, "What the hell happened, why did the guards take you away?"

"As soon as I left the library, I was stopped by a team of heavily armed guards, saying that the Otherworldly had to register their identity. They took me to a large courtyard, asked only a few questions, and a man dressed in purple who looked like the principal asked the soldiers to take me back to the library. Then Link came, and after he had only said a word, he was invited to finish his meal by the man who claimed to be the lord of the city. ”

"How do you know he's the lord of the city?" Orlando wasn't sure if Finn could tell the difference between a lord and a centurion, who usually appeared in public, and something as trivial as capturing an Otherworldly Man wouldn't alarm Count Senior.

"To live in such a large castle and give orders to the fierce guards, I can't think of anyone other than the lord of the city who has such power, not even Gonzalez has the same spirit. Finn was particularly impressed by Sevis, who was also a nobleman, and the Archduke of Befast at Watchcastle was very easy-going.

Elsie and Dodd looked at each other. The only person who called Gonzalez and had contact with the nobles was the Archduke of Befast, who not only had dealings with the nobles, but also had an invitation to the Council of Mages, what was the origin of that person?

Orlando coughed dryly and motioned for Finn to come closer, "In public later." Don't just put the name of the nobility on your lips. ”

Elsie hooked the half-elf's shoulder, "Aren't you going to tell us about the identity of your friend?"

Dodd didn't speak, but his eyes revealed the same message, very interested in Link's origins.

This was not the right place to talk, so Orlando got up and placed a gold coin on the bar. In addition to the wine money, the rest is hush money for the bartender.

Bringing the curious teenager out of the tavern, Orlando asks Link if there are any follow-up arrangements.

"Just let me find you. "Even if Link confesses. Finn also comes to Orlando, and he has realized that the city is not as gorgeous and luxurious as it seems.

Seeing the importance of Finn's rescue, Orlando takes him to the artisan quarter, where dragons and snakes are mixed.

Both Elsie and Dodd strongly objected to this.

If this kid had an accident in the craftsman area, wouldn't it just be a chance to provide an opportunity for Andrew, the ** master who had already wanted to come to the big purge?

Orlando's eyes shone with an incomprehensible light, "Andrew is not in charge of the artisan district, and the good days of the mages are over." ”

Elsie and Dodd looked at each other, this is a high drink. From the rise of humanity to the present day. The throne changed several times, and Hohenheim's position never wavered.

Knowing that they think they drink too much and talk nonsense. Orlando didn't care.

The Child of Nature is mysterious, and after the invasion of the undead, it has disappeared for many years, and today's humans have long forgotten the meaning of this term, not the leader of the druids nor the magical creatures that can change people, but also the first generation of oracles, but also the masters of magic.

Orlando shares Orlando's thoughts with the lord of Vaolet. Considering Link's status as a child of nature, Sevester told the cook not to serve meat, and to try to use plant-based fruits and vegetables as the main dish.

said that it was a dinner party, but in fact, it was only the city lord Servis, and the centurion Fern. and Link's trio dining. During the feast, neither the host nor the guests said a word, and the centurion ate like chewing wax in such an awkward atmosphere.

When the meal was almost finished, Servis finally spoke: "Your Excellency went to Vaolet to borrow the portal to go to Hohenheim?"

"This is the closest waypoint to Grantham. ”

"If you're just interested in spell books, the library area here is completely satisfying, but once you're in Lorelei's enchantment, it's hard to leave. ”

Link put down his fork.

In addition to believers, there are only gods who can call the name of God, and there is no element fluctuation in Servis, and he is a politician, and he will only believe in that one, in order to prevent the content of the conversation from leaking, Bray adopts a psychic approach when he talks to himself with the help of believers, and he actually says it like this, and it is in the presence of a third person......

"It's a conspiracy enchantment that even gods can deceive, and I didn't realize it at all. ”

The sip of wine that Fern just drank almost spurted out, God is here?!

Bang Bang Bang -

Servis applauded, "No wonder he can destroy Frost's life box, he hides it so secretly, I didn't even think anyone could crack it." ”

No denial, really Malik!

Link tried his best to maintain a steady breathing and heartbeat, what was going on lately? The gods were all gathered in the Nether, and counting Evja, who only had oracles, he had already communicated with the six gods face-to-face.

Malik and Hicks have always been unfocused, so isn't the Grim Reaper dead yet ready to let the God of Shadows be a lobbyist? or...... Did you come to kill me, or did you have some evil plan in mind?

Link is not sure of Malik's intentions, and there is a conspiracy enchantment, which may be able to sacrifice an insignificant believer and kill himself without Gasos noticing.

"Hicks did ask me to help you with the trouble you're causing him to be deflated, but I think it's worth it to live you. "Leaning back in his chair, with his chin propped up in one hand, and smiling on his face, there is an indescribable strangeness that gives people a sense of laziness and inexplicable danger, like a beast that will pounce on it at any moment and tear it apart.

Fern sat up straight, his forehead covered with fine beads of sweat. He had followed the Count for many years, and was familiar with his character and habits, and no matter how disguised he was, he could not make such a temperament. Is it really God's presence? Why is there no coercion? and I can't feel the power of God?

Malik, possessed Servis, brought information that shocked Link even more than Bray, "Exile the gods. The first generation acted again, and the four pillars cut off the flow of life and blocked the transmission of spiritual power to the heavenly realm. ”

Link stood up stiffly, he didn't know what the flow of life was, but if the spiritual power could not be conveyed to the gods, wouldn't it mean ......

"That's right. The gods and goddesses no longer gain faith from believers. ”

Taking a deep breath, Link struggled to calm his inner consternation, Malik would not lie about this, and only in this way could he explain why the gods appeared one after another.

What binds the gods and their followers together is divine power, and once the relationship between the gods and the believers is broken, the status of the gods becomes precarious. Why didn't the first generation come up with it in the first place, and what was Malik's purpose in meeting me in person?

Link suddenly realized. Francesca's visit to herself may be more than just a messenger of the oracle. He didn't remember what had happened, the god of dawn seemed to have said, but he couldn't remember at all, and the content of the conversation was blank.

Blocking the flow of life should have been born after meeting Francesca, so Bray chose Finn as a believer to evade the prophecy of the gods, and Avga did not have a life weaver and could not directly tell Orlando to approach my purpose. Malik, on the other hand, has a conspiracy enchantment and does not need a lifeweaver. There is no need to hide the language.

"Bray is going to replace Lorelei, the god of shadows. What do you want?" Knowing the actions of these gods, Link didn't want to use honorific titles on them.

"I'm going to break up with Hicks. Malik's answer was beyond Link's expectations, he thought about it a lot, but he didn't expect it to be this.

"Why?"

Malik spread his hands with a helpless expression: "He has gone too far." The First Generation could tolerate the gods falling against each other, but they would not tolerate him destroying the world. This is the same as the king can sit back and watch the nobles fight among themselves for the sake of profit. But the struggle between the nobles must not be allowed to shake the foundation of the state, can you explain it like this?"

Indeed, Link could understand why the first generation would break the faith.

The Grim Reaper grows rapidly by absorbing the fear and despair of human beings about death, once these negative energies cannot be conveyed to Hicks. The pillar of water will no longer have to continue to be corroded, maybe...... Earthpillars can also be restored to normal. Wait a minute...... Malik said that the Four Pillars, aren't they only the pillars of wind and fire that are still normal, and how can the pillars of water and earth, which have been eroded, join the closed action?

"The Child of Nature is the embodiment of the pillar in the material realm, and Dawn uses the power of the four elements in you to activate a plan that was made thousands of years ago. Seeing Link's doubts, Malik stood up and approached him step by step, "The fate of human beings is decided by human beings, and this is also the final judgment of the four elements on human beings. ”

Link stared at Malik, who was one step away, "In that case, why do the gods still intervene in the fate of mankind?"

"Heh~ They didn't say that we weren't allowed to intervene, not to mention that the first generation was busy blocking the flow of life now and didn't have time to care. ”

That's why the gods are so unscrupulous and frequent to go to the lower realm?

"You must be wondering why the law doesn't work against the gods?" Malik said to Link's thoughts, "because it was the first generation to break the law." The gods who distorted time and space, exiled the gods who supported the world, and now cut off the flow of life, so they were punished by the law first. Okay, let's get back to the point, I'm allied with Hicks to get more benefits, and since he's almost finished, I can't go all the way with him. ”

Well, after Lorelei, even Malik is going to turn back, and Link has added some confidence in defeating the Grim Reaper. However, after all that he said, he still didn't know Malik's exact goal, and the scope of 'dismantling' was too wide. If Bray's intention was to replace Lorelei, then who did Malik want to replace......? Liz is a faction and a first-generation god, so he shouldn't be so bold. But if it's not night, then who else does he want to replace?

"Most of my believers are humans, and if all of humanity is finished, I will also lose the battle for theocracy. Malik is not shy about saying that humanity is closely tied to his own interests.

Link felt a pang in his heart, Malik's followers were not only thieves, assassins, bards and other professions that could not be on the table, but more politicians, did he want to support this city lord or the Essonne family behind it?

"No, no, no, I don't want the faith of a single family or a small group of people. The more chaotic the situation, the better it will be for me. ”

Malik's words confused Link, he couldn't gain faith, what was the use of him asking believers?

"How long do you think the First Generation will be able to stop the flow of life? As I said earlier, this is the final judgment of the four elements on the human race, and if the human race cannot defeat the undead empire with frost and cold within this period, then the First Generation will take matters into its own hands to completely wipe out the human species from Edgar. I just didn't want to see such a scene, so I took the risk of making a deal with you. Even if you are a child of nature from another world, you are also a human being, so you don't want to see such a thing, do you?"

Link pursed his lips, wondering how credible Malik's words were.

Even if there were no humans, the Grim Reaper could still use the same tricks on other species, would the first generation have to kill them all?

"Species can be recreated, that's the way the gods think, the first generations wanted to preserve the planet, not a specific species. ”

This sentence made Link decide, "Say your terms." ”

"I need your assurance that the United Kingdom of Humanity will remain divided until the Immortal Empire is defeated, and this is not too much, basically maintaining the status quo, or expanding the discord among the human nobles. ”

Link thought about it carefully, and it didn't seem to be any harm to himself or Gonzalez, anyway, the princes had been making trouble with each other for so many years.

"Well, I promise in the name of the Child of Nature. ”

"It was a pleasure to work with. ”

Amid goosebumps, Malik's possession ended.

Servis, who had regained consciousness, shuddered, and now he was actually standing beside Link, how could he not remember that he had gotten up and walked over, what was going on?

Unable to get useful information from Fern, Servis couldn't help but curse in his heart, this wood is useless every time it comes to a critical moment!

Link asks the nobleman, who is caught in anger and embarrassment, to stay at Vallet for a while, hoping that Cervis will help cover it up and prevent Hohenheim from seeing him in the satellite city.

As soon as he heard this request, Servis said yes, and he was worried that he would not be able to keep anyone.

Sending Link away, Servis asks what happened to Fern at the feast.

The centurion looked so strange that he forgot to answer.

Thinking of the voice that appeared in his head when he saw Link, Servis covered his mouth, if it was a divine presence, then the content of the conversation was not something he could ask, since the Child of Nature was willing to stay, he also had a chance to find out if Hohenheim was going to give up his neutrality and fight the undead with the United Kingdom.
