Chapter 72: Melville (3)

Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.

A table and a booklet are an alternative sight in the market area full of all kinds of goods. The merchant travelers who passed by all looked at the banner above the table with curious and puzzled eyes, the [Befast Branch of the Adventurers' Union].

"Eh, this union is still there, I thought it was broken......"

"Why is the branch in Befast located in Woollet?"

"Because it's the front line. ”

People whispered about it, and the occasional mercenary passing by only watched from afar.

Yoda stared blankly at the task book on the table, all he could think of was the guild full of adventurers.

That was a few years ago, ten, twenty, or more......

President, can the union really regain its former glory?

Bet everything on one person, no, that guy can't be considered a human anymore......

He can easily transform into any form, maintaining the appearance of a human only to minimize the sense of threat, perhaps, he is not human at all. Cooperate with such a creature......

Yoda, who had witnessed Link's two transformations up close, no longer had the joy of the magic bow's success, and his mind was full of worry and fear.

It wasn't until two light footsteps stopped at the table that Yoda gathered his thoughts, and when he looked up, he saw Link and Orlando, the half-elf standing in front of him, who had long since died. He looked away unnaturally, scanning around for a few seconds before returning to them.

Orlando came forward to ask if it was a suitable commission, and Yoda shook her head and asked the two to leave their names and contact information, and if there was a commission, they would be notified as soon as possible. In fact, both sides knew that this was nothing more than a game specially arranged for the appearance of 'Melville'.

After completing the drama of contact with the union. Link neither returned to the expensive humble inn nor went into the city incognito to continue making magic items, but wandered aimlessly around the market.

Orlando, who had accompanied him to most of the market, couldn't help but ask, "Are you going to wander around the market until dark?"

"yes, I don't have anything but this bow. Link made a pun, and the performance just now had an immediate effect. There are only two intelligence spies left to track Orlando.

"By the way, do you know how to do needlework?" lowered his voice, and Link suddenly asked a question that stunned Orlando.

"How do you ask about ......?" Orlando reacted immediately. As a ranger who lives alone, he sleeps in the open all year round, and needlework is an essential skill in life.

"Could it be that you still want to learn to cook?" the half-elf suddenly had an ominous premonition.

"Fire, simple wound dressing, pharmacology and some common sense of life. Link nodded, since he was going to disguise himself as a ranger. Some necessary foundations must also be learned, fortunately, there is a half-elf who has lived for more than two hundred years by his side, even if he can't reach the erudite Cheng Dù, it should be enough to deal with it.

After adding some necessary items for a long journey, the two returned to the humble inn for twenty silver coins a day. After learning how to make a fire with velvet and flint, how to use sunlight to determine the time, and how to use the stars to separate directions at night, it was already evening.

In order not to make people suspicious. Orlando returns to the Lord's Mansion in the inner city, while Link spends the night on a cold cushion.

After learning from the centurion that the Child of Nature was leaving. The lord of the city, Servis, fell into a state of panic.

"Didn't you say you'd have to stay for a while...... "He's not sitting comfortably as the lord of the city since he made his alliance with the dwarves public. If the Children of Nature did not take control of Vaolet, Servis always feared that other nobles would take the opportunity to impeach him. Today, the United Kingdom still maintains its own government during the rebellion of the princes, but the regent of the new capital still has real power in the appointment and dismissal of the lord of a city.

"My lord, what are you worried about?" Fern couldn't understand why the Earl was so upset, "Nature's child didn't have some law of cause and effect. Can you be kept safe?"

"I know, but ......" In the course of the negotiation, Servis felt that it was inappropriate, but he was quickly overwhelmed by the beautiful picture that Link depicted. What's more, more than ten days have passed. There is no rumor on the Xindu side, which is the root of his uneasiness. Even his father, who only used the communication stone to scold the day after announcing his alliance with the dwarves, has not moved since.

wanted to ask the cobwebs about the situation, but Servis was afraid of revealing his lack of confidence, right...... Why didn't I think of that? The Adventurers' Guild also has its own intelligence network, and for the sake of the Children of Nature, they probably won't refuse my request.

"Fern! go to the union to inquire about the statements of the princes and nobles of the various domains, especially the new capital. By the way!" Seeing that the centurion had already reached the door, Servis called him back again, "By the way, the Child of Nature is still there, and you know that he has the ability to stealth, so maybe he is just pretending to leave." ”

The centurion who had been ordered to go to the union alone, and it was already dark, but the door of the union that should have closed was open, and the head of the union, Yoda, was running back and forth sweating profusely, which was not common for a union that was full of doors all year round.

"Is there anything wrong? Yoda wasn't surprised by Fern's visit, and he was even ready to respond.

"That'......" looked around the hall to make sure Yoda was the only one in the hall, and then Fern leaned into his ear and whispered the words of the city lord.

Yoda nodded repeatedly, "Yes, the union does have its own source of information, but ...... The price ......"

"Don't worry, Lord Earl will pay you. "Fern has been instructed by Servis to agree to whatever the union offers, as long as the news is true.

Not only the lords of various places, but even the new capital also expressed a wait-and-see attitude towards the open alliance between the city of Vaolet and the dwarves, and because of the intervention of the children of nature, the nobles did not dare to openly express their dissatisfaction, let alone the impeachment that Cervis feared. And under Bridge's operation, the Nature's Child's entry as a craftsman soon spread, and everyone was curious about Nature's Child's skills. What kind of Cheng dù can be achieved, and can it be compared with the previous craftsman?

Fern was relieved to see that the nobles and lords were on the sidelines because of the Children of Nature, and that the regent was not held accountable.

The Earl's risky move seems to have been made correctly, but how long it can last depends on the future of the child of nature.

Taking the opportunity of questioning, Fern secretly looked in the direction of the storeroom.

The door of the room was also open, and there was no figure or sound inside. It seems to have really left......

Returning with such an answer, Servis's anxiety eased somewhat.

That night, sleepless night, there was the last spy to watch outside the humble hotel. As for Link in the room, he is in a semi-meditative posture talking to Lorelei in his consciousness, and the topic is the nature and difference between magic, divine power, and spiritual power.

In Edgar, magic is a materialized product of the world, a naturally occurring energy that is not inexhaustible.

And divine power is the energy given by the gods, and the essence is the mutated form of spiritual power, which is given to believers by the gods, and the higher the rank, the worse the effect will be.

As for spiritual power, it is the energy formed by the consciousness of living beings, which can also be called the soul. Like magic, it belongs to the category of powerlessness. The gods absorb and devour the spiritual power of living beings to make up for the divine power they give to their believers.

If I had to use any adjective, magic and spiritual power are the energies generated by nature and life. The power of the first gods was closer to the former, and Lorelei assured that the use of the Children of Nature was indeed divine power.

Since then, Link has new doubts.

If the abilities of the Children of Nature can be used as long as the pillars admit it, then where do the divine techniques used by the children of nature in the early generations come from?

After thinking about it, Link came to a conclusion: what he identified as a natural god was actually the self-created spell of the children of nature in the past.

Using the self-created spell of spiritual power will lead to the dissatisfaction of the zhì pillar, and if you are strict, you will even be disqualified from the child of nature, which is Bray's warning. Because there was a precedent for Bayfast, Link did not doubt it.

But now that he thinks about it, he feels that there is something wrong with this passage.

Edgar's mental power = the power of faith, which Bray himself admitted. Wouldn't that contradict Bray's warning?

Or is Bray lying?

As the divine power provider of the Pillar of Water, didn't I use my spiritual power to reduce the burden on him? Why did Bray make me try not to use my spiritual power, or even not to use it? Why did he care so much about my spiritual power?

[Didn't you feel it at all, was he hinted?] Lorelei finally couldn't help but remind.

Link didn't realize he was being hinted at.

[With your current strength, it is impossible to resist the hint he gave you. In addition to Bray, there is another person who has modified your memory. 】

【Who?】Link was even more surprised at this time, implying that it could be understood as unconsciously, but it was impossible for him not to be aware of such an obvious act as modifying his memory.

As soon as Lorelei mentions Francesca and Grantham, Link understands.

No wonder he felt strange after the meeting with the High Priest of Dawn, it turned out that he had done something to him, but why did he do this? If he was just worried that it would be bad for the Dawn Sect in the future, wouldn't it be easier to kill him? He also took great pains to modify his memory, if it failed, it would cause dislike, knowing such a risk, why did Francesca still insist on it?

What did he do to me?] Link hopes to get an answer from Lorelei.

[Don't say that I only have a wisp of consciousness left now, even in my heyday, I can't know...... It's the dawn that strikes you, who directly modifies your memories through guò media. 】

The answer is even more terrifying, it is actually Dawn, the same deity as the pillar. (To be continued!)
