After nightfall, Finn, who survived the attack of vampire bats, finds Link with the help of Black. As soon as he heard that he was about to leave the Watchberg, Finn immediately offered to go to Hohenheim with Link.

"Hohenheim is a mage city, and ordinary people are not allowed to enter. ”

"You promised me, you can't talk and don't count. Finn bit Link to death and promised it himself.

"I only promised to teach you the skills of fighting, but I didn't promise to take you as an apprentice. Link patiently explained that the power of the Child of Nature came from the gods and could not be passed on to others, and among the few knowledge he mastered, only the swordsmanship had the lowest threshold. I don't know that Finn thinks that he has been learning swordsmanship for too long, and he has to learn spells that can attack in an area.

It's a tough ...... Link let out a long sigh, "I'm not a mage, and besides, Edgar doesn't have human druids. ”

Finn refuses to give up and insists on becoming Link's follower.

Link, who was about to speak, noticed that Finn's forehead covered by bangs seemed to have a light blue mark, and he was afraid that he would be dazzled, so he stood closer to take a closer look. It was indeed an imprint, and it was familiar, and Link tapped Finn's head and asked when it appeared, and he remembered that there was no such thing on Finn's head in the underpass.

Finn touched his forehead blankly, his skin was smooth and there was nothing. I used the basin as a mirror, and I saw a strange blue symbol on my head.

"What is this?"

"Seal of wisdom, you have been chosen as a believer by the God of Knowledge. Link didn't understand why Bray had chosen Finn. He had never been exposed to spells and only began to learn them at the age of seventeen, too late. And Bray's priesthood is knowledge, not magic.

"Believer, do you mean that I can use divine power like you?" Hearing the word believer, Finn, who had been bitter and vengeful since Rono's death, finally showed a hint of joy.

Not knowing much about the god of knowledge, Link couldn't answer Finn's question. I had to divert the subject, "Did you encounter anything strange on the way to the surface?"

Finn revealed that he was hiding in a cave only two meters away from the undead, but the skeleton warrior did not see his strange thing.

"At such a close distance, even if you can't see it, there's no reason why the undead who have the ability to sense life can't sense your bearings. Link was puzzled.

"Ah~~~ I remembered! I was so scared that I was dying, and I prayed to the gods in heaven to save me. It doesn't matter who it is. "Finn can't figure it out, could it be that the gods heard my prayers?

"Do you believe in God?" Link thinks that time-travelers from Earth have very little faith, and that he and Girard are typical examples, either atheists or hypocrites, and Bray wants a time-traveler who is even a problem with self-preservation just to be immune to prophecy?

"Of course I don't believe ......it," the letter came out, and the blue mark on Finn's forehead suddenly lit up, as if he was possessed, and his expression and momentum completely changed to another person. There is a sense of déjà vu.

Could it be......

Just as Link opened his mouth to speak, Finn raised his hand and put it to his lips, "Don't say my name lightly in the material world, it will be heard by other gods. 】

Could it be that he took Finn as a follower to speak directly to me through the body of the Life Weaver?

[Lorelei is on the move.] The use of the body of the believer to convey the oracle is a common means used by the gods.

'Goddess of Magic, what do you mean by action?' Link spoke directly to Bray in his head.

[Your abilities, to be precise, are the abilities of the embodiment of the children of nature.] Aside from Hicks, you are the only child of nature who has come into contact with Andrea, who is still sane, as long as it can open a time portal to the past. Once again, she will be able to get the untainted source of magic, Lorelei told her followers. 】

Link finally understood why the Mage Council was so eager for him to go to Hohenheim. The temptation to become a god is too great. None of the top members of the council, except Claire, wanted to miss such an opportunity.

'So, what effect does the source of pure magic have on Lorelai, who is already a god?'

[It can free her from erosion, of course, this is only temporary, if Andrea is not purified, it will continue to pollute other gods.] 】

'You have gone to great lengths to communicate with me. And for what?' Link didn't think that Bray's presence was just a motive for telling him about the goddess of magic.

[In public or private, she is not fit to continue to serve as the god of magic. 】

It seems...... Out of my duty as a child of nature. Such an answer was so unexpected that Bray wanted to replace it!

[On the contrary, maintaining the balance between the species and the world is the duty of the children of nature as apostles of the gods of nature. Lorelei is the administrator of the Arcane. Together with Malik, assist Hicks in corrupting Andrea. Bray reveals a big secret that only God knows.

How can a high-ranking god be corrupted so easily, not to mention that Andrea has become one with the planet. Hicks first used his convenience as a child of nature to corrupt the Naga and other aquatic creatures, and with the help of Malik's conspiracy enchantment, he asked Lorelei to instill the concept of lich in the mage, and as more and more mages were transformed into lichs, Hicks, who had gained the power of faith, waited for an opportunity while absorbing the soul energy of the fallen gods who had lost the theocratic war.

Taking advantage of the first generation of gods to expel the gods who caused chaos from the main material realm, depriving all living beings of their longevity, Hicks, who had accumulated enough faith, became the god of death. Although the gods of nature were angry at Hicks, who was originally a child of nature, for such a move, they had already broken the law once, and they could no longer intervene in the main material realm in the short term, and they wanted to punish the humans who played a key role in the war of the gods, so they acquiesced to Hicks's status as the god of death. This is the second time that the power of the children of nature has been weakened, and they have been completely limited to mortal saints, and can no longer be advanced.

It turns out that Lorelei has been an ally of Hicks since ancient times, so it's no wonder that she would acquiesce in Lena's framing by Frost in the illusion.

Figuring out the ins and outs of the matter, Link is even more puzzling.

'If Lorelei is Hicks' ally like Malik, why does she want to break away from the alliance now?, and what about her erosion?'

[The reason why Hicks can become so strong in a short period of time is entirely due to the fear of death of living beings, the more fearful he is, the stronger his strength becomes, and the mage who respects the strong is Lorelei's main belief. 】

I see! Link knows why Lorelei repented. There was a massive loss of her followers. Thrown into the god of death, Hicks, the lack of faith, will lead to the attenuation of divine power, ha~ This is a typical example of self-inflicted sin and cannot live, so Bray said that she is not suitable to continue to be a magical priest in public or private.

Even if the Child of Nature's duty is to maintain balance, Link asks the gods of nature what they mean. If they don't object, it's not too late to agree to Bray. Don't break the precepts and end up in the same fate as Befast.

Entering a meditative state, Link tries to communicate with the four pillars of light in the darkness, asking if he can grant Bray's request.

The Four Elements didn't answer, Link asked again, still didn't respond, and he couldn't help but be a little anxious.

If you don't answer, you should acquiesce?

Still unresponsive, Link ended his meditation with trepidation. Now he couldn't figure out what the god of nature meant.

[You don't need to worry, the divine power of the water element you are using now is provided by me] Bray said a piece of news that shocked Link even more.

Even if Bray is a mortal, he can't have the ability to go back against time. Link clearly remembers that after the trial in the illusion, Andrea said, 'Bray finally sent him the right person', and after drinking the source of magic brought back from the other side of time, Bray became a god, no matter how you look at it, it looks like Andrea is controlling it behind the scenes, hmm...... Andrea: Did she prepare for the worst long before she was contaminated?

You don't have to do anything. It is only responsible for attracting Lorelai's attention, and it is my business to win over believers and priesthood. 】

'Okay. I'm going to pull Hohenheim into the water sooner or later anyway. As soon as Link said yes, Finn fell limply.

As soon as Link helped Finn up to his senses, a portal of light appeared next to the two of them, and Girard, who returned to the fortress with the portal, was stunned at first, and then, the eyes of the mage who had been away for many days fell on the emblem on Finn's forehead. He cast his gaze on Link. Link hurriedly waved his hand, indicating that it had nothing to do with him.

Well, it's Bray who chooses it himself......

Suppressing the sense of crisis in his heart, Girard took out a magical letterhead from the space pocket on his waist: "This is the letter that the Mage Council asked me to bring you. ”

Link took the letter and opened it to see that it was an invitation. It reads, in the lingua franca of humanity, an invitation to the scholar Link to Hohenheim.

"Scholar, not a child of nature?"

"This is the condition of the council that you go to Hohenheim, and I forgive you for making my own claims without your consent. There was a little bit of divine power left in the tent, and Girard was a little suspicious, "There are two reasons why the council doesn't reveal your identity. First, they need to maintain Hohenheim's neutrality. Second, avoid causing unnecessary disturbances among the middle and lower class mages. You should know that the League of Nature has been at odds with Hohenheim for many years, and the sudden appearance of a child of nature will only lead to necessary trouble. ”

As for why he told the Council of Mages that Link was a child of nature, Girard's explanation was that Hohenheim had secretly reached a neutrality agreement with the Immortal Empire because of the goddess of magic, and if he didn't reveal Link's secret of assisting Bray to become a god, how could the council's top brass come forward and defend the new capital instead of the Dawn Cult to send troops to rescue Grantham Fortress.

"I'm not blamed for telling me who I am. Link really didn't have the idea of blaming Girard, and if revealing his identity could save the people in the fortress, he was willing. Moreover, under the circumstances at that time, one person was exchanged for the safety of thousands of people, and anyone would make such a choice. Besides, Girard used this in exchange for the revocation of the wanted warrant, which allowed him to stay at Fort Watch to assist Gonzalez.

When he heard that he was going to stay at the Watchtower, Girard's face changed slightly, "But my mission is to assist you......"

Link interrupted him, "You don't have to worry, there's Finn over there in Hohenheim, and although he doesn't understand anything, he's a traverser anyway." And his ignorance is just enough to reduce the Council's suspicions, and I need your help in Gonzalez's efforts to reinvigorate Fort Watch. ”

After listening to Link's words, Girard fell silent. He had confirmed that Bray had been in contact with Link, and Gilard was a little annoyed by the distrust of the newly converted gods, but he did not dare to question the gods' decision. Since even the Children of Nature are on Bray's side, Lorelei is doomed to lose in the battle for divine power, and as long as he can obtain the power and status promised by the gods, wouldn't it be better to hide comfortably in the Overwatch.

Thinking about it like this, Girard's chagrin also vanished.

The lack of commanders in the town, not only the nobles, but even the army, the young Grand Duke could not suppress it.

"I've heard about Alex's death. ”

"I've convinced Dante to be acting commander. Seeing Girard's expression darken, Link knew that his lobbying had worked.

Girard shook his head. He shared Dante's concerns: "Not only the army, but also the nobility, and Abigail's family was the original owner of the domain, and he was the rightful heir, as long as there was no Gonzalez." ”

Girard's biggest concern is Claire, who is behind the Abigail family. Hohenheim's only two Sage ranks.

I hadn't heard of this, and Link's face sank, and he told him about his deal with Abigail.

"I swore to Abigail that when Gonzalez came of age, I would not interfere in the internal affairs of Befast, nor would I harm or kill him, in exchange for three years when he suppressed the other nobles of the Befast Domain and did not engage in infighting with Gonzalez. ”

"You mean...... Coming of age?" Girard frowned, something seemed wrong with this passage.

"Yes, as an adult. ”

"But then, in three years' time, won't you be ......," Girard snapped. He read it again, then nodded, "I see, don't worry, I'll help Gonzalez rebuild Fort Watch." If there is any movement in Abigail, I will let you know as soon as possible. ”

Backed by Girard's assurance, Link breathed a sigh of relief.

He played a play on words in that vow, promising Gonzalez that he would not interfere in the internal affairs of Befast when he came of age, nor would he harm or kill Abigail. Abigail, who had been promised, probably didn't notice. If killing Gonzalez before he reached adulthood was not a breach of the oath, even if he showed up afterwards. I can't regret it.

Finn listened in a daze, as the medium that made Bray come for a short time, he didn't know what was going on, and he couldn't understand the conversation between Link and the mage, and his eyes scanned back and forth between the two, and when they were finished, he asked if he could go to Hohenheim.

"Go, of course you have to go. "Link didn't want Finn to wade into troubled waters. But since he had been chosen as a believer by Bray, he couldn't even think about it.

Before leaving, Link wanted to leave something useful for Gonzalez, who didn't know when he would meet again, and told Sù Dante about the idea, hoping to use his furnace and materials to build Gonzalez's armor.

"Armor, he's only fifteen now. The body hasn't been completely shaped yet, so you're so sure that what you've built now will fit in the future?"

Belch...... I really didn't expect this. Link was dumbfounded.

Dante told Sù Link that as the chosen person of the god of war, Gonzalez could not use items blessed by other gods. If it's just a magic item, it's better not to do it, and it's a waste of the craftsman's craftsmanship.

The blessings of other gods cannot be used, and the elect of this pit man demand that only the law of cause and effect be considered. But the law of cause and effect is a double-edged sword, which is easy to be eaten back, not to mention, and if it is not done well, it will affect the user.

Link thinks twice and decides to carry a qiē injury for his friend.

Under the guidance of the dwarves, he crafted a Mithril amulet that would ensure that the wearer would not be affected by death magic, divine magic, and the law of cause and effect. Link casts the Law of Cause and Effect that as long as he does not die, the amulet's effect will not fail, which protects Gonzalez from being harmed by laws like the Finger of Death or the Law of Frost's Mortal Death.

By doing your own thing, you can reduce the chance of backlash.

On the third day after the end of the Battle of Grantham, with a small amount of money sent by Gonzalez and a communication stone, Link and Finn set out on foot to Waolet on the border with Befast. It was once one of the three satellite cities of Hohenheim, and since the launch of the Magetown, it has been one of the three teleportation points on the ground to Hohenheim.

In order to block the news of Link's trip to Hohenheim, Gonzalez cooperated with Blake to modify the memories of the Overwatch and the Avengers with spells + potions, erased him as a craftsman, and directly changed him to a child of nature, assisting humans in thwarting the siege of the undead before leaving. This will not feel abrupt by directly erasing the memory, and it can also confuse the undead.

"Why don't we go on horseback? Wouldn't it be slower?" said Finn, who had never traveled this far, complaining about Link's refusal of Gonzalez's horse.

"Would you like to give them a free feast of horse meat if you meet the undead? There aren't many horses left in the Watchhouse, and we'll sell them when we ride them to Vaolet, so we might as well save them for those who need them more. "The undead of the entire Befast Territory have been concentrated to besiege Grantham Fortress, and along the way, Link has not encountered a single undead.

"Do you think you're a saint? Why do you think about others everywhere? Do you want to promote the idea of me being for all and everyone for me in another world? Don't be funny......" Finn sat down on the ground as he walked, "No, I can't walk anymore, let me rest for a while." ”

Ever since he knew that he had been chosen as a believer by the God of Knowledge, Finn no longer mentioned being a follower of Link.

Link didn't say anything, squinting at the horizon in front of him, where there were some moving black dots, were they people or undead, too far away from his perception.

"Get up, something is coming. ”

As soon as he heard that something was coming, Finn jumped to his feet.

Da Da Da –

It was the sound of horses' hooves, and Finn pulled out the shortsword that Dante had given him, and although there was a child of nature standing beside him, he was still nervous.

As the horses flew closer, Link and Finn were secretly relieved, not the undead, but a team of knights, freshly dressed and angry, and they knew at a glance that they were nobles. (To be continued!)
