Snort-
The arrows shot by the elves turned into a flash of light, colliding with the invisible defensive barrier at a distance of one meter from the demon, and when the energy was exhausted, the arrows turned into small and small fragments, and disappeared into the chasm shrouded in demonic aura.
Ires, who usually looks gentle and elegant, bursts with a pale golden light all over his body, illuminating the dark underground cavern. Only then did Link appear surrounded by countless dark shadows, staring hungrily at him with scarlet eyes, shouts and screams one after another, like evil spirits in hell.
Licking his bright red lips, the demon showed his fangs hidden beneath his glamorous exterior, and the aura of temptation suddenly transformed into murderous intent.
"You're no longer an apostle of Isol, Iris. Do you want to fight me with this ungraced elven body?"
"The crime of killing the Divine Envoy is not something that a single demon lord can bear. Ires remained unmoved, the feathered ornament on his bow turned into a golden firebird, the light that radiated dispelled the ever-gathering shadows.
Just when Link thought there would be a fierce battle to the death, the female demon spread her huge wings and turned into a blazing flame with a "bang".
"Indeed, I am very favored, see you next time, young apostle. β
The black shadow dissipated with the demon, and the fresh air rushing in from above blew away the suffocating stench of viscousness, and even in his transformed state, Link felt like his whole body was soaked in cold sweat.
"What's that?"
Iris's elven bow was restored to its original state, and he looked at the direction in which the female demon disappeared with a complicated expression: "The abyss lord who is closest to the first layer of the earth's surface, if it weren't for the significant decrease in the strength of the enchantment of the Earth Pillar, it would never end so lightly today." β
Lord-level demons?
Playing the game a lot, Link knows that any monster with the title of lord is not simple. However, it was not the Demon Lord who surprised him the most, but Iris, and the strength he had just shown made Link convinced. It is indeed qualified to be a mentor, and even if he loses his divine grace, he still has the strength to fight against the demon lord. On the other hand, just facing the coercion of the female demon makes my feet weak, which is really embarrassing.
But...... What did she mean by that last sentence? It seemed to be aimed at me?
"The evil aura is gone, take this opportunity to repair the enchantment. Iris told Link to seize the moment, completely forgetting that he hadn't taught him how to fix it.
"Uh...... I can't see the enchantment, and I don't know how to fix it?"
"Enchantments are everywhere, you say you can't see them?" Ires propped his forehead, pointing to the pillar of light that he could still see even in the cracks underground, "Sue me what you saw." In your eyes, what is the shape of the column? β
"A light, a yellow-brown ......"
"Being able to see proves that you are truly a child of nature, knowing that as a High Elf, I can only feel the approximate range of the pillar after the loss of my divine favor. The elf lowered her voice, "Maybe it has something to do with your knowledge, do you believe in God?"
Link hesitated for a moment, then shook his head slowly. In fact, he himself has some doubts. As a materialist, I don't believe in ghosts and gods from the bottom of my heart, and the boundary between game and reality is very clear. According to the logic of the game, if you don't believe in God, of course, you can't wield the power given by God.
"Listen, I don't care what you used to be or what kind of work you did, since you have been chosen as a child of nature, you have to give up everything you have before, including the idea of being human. You are the chosen messenger of the gods, and if you are unwilling to perform your duties, the gods will take back your blessings, and you will be banished from the Guardian by the druids. You don't seem to understand the severity of things, the human body is not enough to withstand the power of nature, which is known as the supreme god, in order to be able to adapt to the natural transformation of the bloodline, from the moment you are chosen, your body is transformed. Once you lose your powers, you will age quickly and even die in a short period of time. β
Link thought that the punishment in Irees's rhetoric **, but after thinking about it, it was not right!
"Humans are the least physically fit of all sapient humanoids, not only in terms of strength and agility, but also in terms of their sense of the elements. You say that you don't perceive, firstly because you are unbelievers, and secondly because of your inherent cognition. In the environment where you used to live, you rarely came into contact with magic and charisma, so you subconsciously resisted and implied that you were a human without power, and naturally you could not feel anything. Irees patiently explained to Link that he didn't feel the enchantment.
Hmm~ Makes sense. Link nodded in agreement, and such an explanation was quite in line with his situation, both in reality and in the game.
Link admits that there are unknown mysterious forces in the world, but it is difficult for him to believe in the presence of the gods. As a modern person who accepts scientific knowledge, he thinks that the whole game is nothing more than a fantasy made by someone who has the ability. Knowing that it is fake, how can it be possible to take these fictitious gods seriously.
"I'll teach you a simple way, close your eyes. β
Link did as he was told, and the feeling of deep darkness was maximized.
"Imagine yourself as part of the forest, rooted in the earth. β
Hmm~ Are you going to wave your imagination again......
Guided by Irees, Link imagined himself as a tree, glowing in the darkness with a few glowing dots, and they all came together to form a vast network, like the roots of plants, strung together into a sphere that guarded the pillar of the earth in the center.
"I saw it!" Link shouted excitedly, "white light, densely connected. β
Iris nodded in relief, "That's right, that's the Earthpillar barrier. Examine the area closer to the south, what's the matter?"
"Hmm...... It's a big hole. Link could sense that the root-like barrier was severely broken, and it was exactly the area they were in.
"Fix it, reconnect them together. β
"I can't do it. β
"You can do it, it's a task that only a guardian of the Pillars of Earth can do. β
With Irees' encouragement, Link reached out and tried to put the light back on that no ordinary person could see. As if alive, the rays of these lights automatically connect together as they get closer.
One, two, five, ten, the enchantment was repaired little by little, and time passed little by little, and by the time the damaged enchantment in the area was repaired, the sky above the rift had turned a deep red characteristic of dusk.
"You're doing a great job. β
Ires, who had been standing by the side, patted Link on the shoulder encouragingly, and he scratched his head in restraint, and the haunting sense of accomplishment made Link experience unprecedented satisfaction.
After breaking through the barrier of autosuggestion, Link's five senses have been qualitatively improved, not only hearing, smell, and sight, but as a clergyman, he has experienced for the first time what 'perception' is.
In addition to the wisps of enchantment, the entire forest was filled with a light brown glow, especially the guardian trees that the druids had settled. What's even more bizarre is that the insects and birds that the animals make have become loud and small voices.
"Nothing was caught today, and the cubs are going to starve again. β
"The rainy season has arrived, why hasn't it rained yet. β
"Humans are poaching in the outer forests again, why don't the druids stop them. β
Link covered his ears and looked at Ires in shock.
And for his doubts, the elf already had the answer.
"Don't expand your perception that much. β
Link narrowed his amplified perception, and sure enough, he no longer heard distant sounds. But why is he able to understand the language of animals? Nature's Child's side skills? The game is getting weirder and weirder......
"All living things in the world are born from nature, and there is no language that the gods do not know. As a messenger of nature, you can certainly understand the voice of all things. That's all for today, it's time for us to go. Explaining lightly why he could understand the language of animals, Ayris summoned the unicorn to carry Link, exhausted from mending the barrier, back to protect the ancient tree.
Along the way, Link couldn't figure it out. Since this barrier is so powerful that even the Demon Lord can weaken it, why is it still broken, it can't be because it has fallen into disrepair, right?
"The fix can only be maintained temporarily. Seeing Link's doubts, Iri explained that repairing the barrier was an ongoing effort, "Decades ago, Frost designed to kill the demon hunters guarding the southern border, and pierced the chasm that led to the abyss, allowing the demons to pass through this passage to the surface, and nearly succeeded in eroding the pillars of the earth, and several of my relatives were killed in that battle. In fact...... Hull has made you here for a purpose, to let you experience the calamity caused by another lifeweaver, and to warn you not to forget your duties as a child of nature. β
Is it true that he hates me so much when he never forgets to remind me...... Link rolled his eyes and told SΓΉ Iris that he was present at the time of the restoration.
"In addition to the big hole just repaired, the eastern barrier is also broken. β
"...... to the East" Irees' frowned, the outermost part of the east is the human town River Valley, the druids stationed there have been missing for half a year, worried that it is a trap of demons, Hull and he did not go in person, and the whereabouts of the two groups of druids sent to investigate are unknown, and they are worried about how to solve this matter.
Link Daxi, Riverdale Town, isn't that the agreed meeting point with Su Wu?
"Since it's inconvenient for you, I'll do it. β
"Letting a chosen one, who is no different from a cub, leave the Guardian is tantamount to killing yourself. Isol didn't agree to Link's unsolicited offer.
"Going out and training is the way to grow quickly, and I don't have anything against it. β
Hull, who was always elusive, didn't object to Link leaving, and Irees glanced at him disapprovingly.
"Of course, this is conditional, as long as you have enough self-preservation. β
One sentence made Link discouraged on the spot, what does it take to be 'enough'?
"At the very least, it has to meet the minimum standards of elves and elemental creatures. β
Link was stunned for a moment, and then reacted that this so-called minimum refers to spell slots, remembering that Hull once said that the primitive spell slots of elves and elemental creatures are counted in ten.
Daddy, I'm only four spell slots now, how many levels do I have to upgrade to ten?
"If you know the gap, go back and rest, don't always want to slip away. Pointing to the treehouse where Link lived, Hel bared.
"Have a good rest, if you stay up late to read, I will forbid you to go to the library. Iris's admonition caused Link to slip and nearly fall.
Do you want to stay without reading at night?
Back in the treehouse, Link could still hear Hull and Irees, who were standing on the ground, talking quietly, but they seemed to deliberately keep their voices down, and he only heard the words tomorrow, undead, and purification as he expanded his perception.
Could it be that tomorrow's mission is to go to the northern border to clean up the undead? Today's repair barrier has not been upgraded, and you must kill monsters to have experience.
Link clenched his fists, he must kill a few more monsters tomorrow, and strive to LVup as soon as possible.
