Chapter 776: Divine Elf
"Ghosts!" Leo muttered as he saw the sight in front of him through his vision.
In the ruins of that temple, there were dozens of elven ghosts gathered there, they were not in front of people in the form of monsters like the daytime demons that Leo had seen before, they still maintained their elven form, and they also seemed to maintain their sanity, and at this moment they were sitting together, listening to what the female elf ghost in the middle said.
Although this was the first time Leo had seen the elves, the features of the elves' bodies were very recognizable, but even though Leo could see the elven ghosts, he could not hear their conversation.
Curious, Leo quickly moved to the top of a ruined house closer to the temple, but although he was very careful, he still made a little noise, which may not be easy to be heard in other places, but in this environment, this sound was extremely loud, and in an instant all the elves and ghosts in the temple were alarmed, and they got up from the ground and turned their heads to look at Leo.
Watching from the cold gaze of countless ghosts, Leo felt an inexplicable pressure, but this pressure had little effect on him, after all, this pressure was like a breeze compared to the pressure formed by the omega-level advanced lifeforms he had been exposed to.
Now that Leo had been discovered, he didn't hide anymore, jumped from the roof, walked to the temple, came to the female elf soul who was obviously the leader, and said to the female elf ghost in the elven etiquette and elven language that Geralt had taught him: "Hello, wise man of the immortal race. β
Hearing Leo's salutation and etiquette, the elf souls around him couldn't help laughing, and the female elf soul in front of him also said a word with a smile, but seemed to know that Leo couldn't hear her voice, and used some method to shock the surrounding energy, forming a sound frequency, and said: "Human, who taught you your etiquette, is the person who taught you etiquette want to make us laugh to death in this way?"
Hearing what the female elf ghost said, Leo would not know that he was either played by Geralt, or Geralt was played by someone who taught him elf etiquette, but if you think about it carefully, the latter should be the majority.
The female elf ghost raised her hand and gestured to the surrounding elf ghosts, and said, "Since there are guests here, then you all disperse! β
All the elves and ghosts got up one after another, saluted the female elf ghosts, and then their figures gradually disappeared, and even the spiritual vision could not find any trace of them.
"Aren't you afraid?" asked the elf ghost towards Leo.
"Don't be afraid!" Leo said calmly.
"Why?" the elf ghost asked.
"First, in this case, it is useless to be afraid. Leo said truthfully: "Second, I don't need to be afraid, because I won't be harmed. β
The female elf ghost looked Leo up and down, who was covered in rags and very embarrassed, and smiled, "You seem to be very confident?"
"Yes, I'm very confident. Leo said without any modesty.
As Leo spoke, he felt a force similar to a spiritual net sweep over him, and then he heard the female elf ghost say, "Yes, you are indeed qualified to be confident, and by your strength, it will be difficult for us to hurt you, just as you cannot hurt us." β
Leo hesitated a little when he heard the female elf's words, and asked in a deep voice, "If I'm not mistaken, you should all be alive, right?"
"Alive?" The elf ghost hesitated for a moment, and said with some uncertainty, "Maybe!" As she spoke, she said to Leo, "I am Ethrius, the high priestess of the goddess Meritelli, and it is a pleasure to meet you, human. β
"It is a pleasure to meet you, stranger Leo Dodd, Your Excellency the Priestess. Leo responded, then hesitated a little and said, "You are the God-favored Acereus?"
"You know me?" said Aceris looking at Leo in surprise.
"I've read some books about your deeds. Leo replied calmly.
Leo has found records about Aceris more than once in the various records of the elven kingdom provided by Friengira, and in those records, it is invariably mentioned that Aceris is the darling of the goddess Meritelli, and when humans attack the elven kingdom, there are many people who agree to let Aceris go.
However, before the war began, Acyrith and her loyal men suddenly disappeared, and the temple of Meritelli fell into the ground along with the other elves' buildings.
"You don't seem to have any hatred for me?" Leo suddenly remembered the unusual scene just now, and asked in a deep voice, "Why? The elven kingdom was destroyed by humans, and the elves of Touscent have been killed, and it was also done by humans, and I am a human, why don't you hate me?"
"It's very simple, you didn't do those things, why should I hate you. Aceris replied casually, "And I have already lived the oracle of the goddess in advance, and I know what the outcome of the elven kingdom will be, and I have also persuaded the elf king, but the result is ......" As she spoke, she paused, did not continue, but changed the subject, and said: "Can you tell me, what is the situation in the outside world now?"
"Absolutely. β
"Wait!" Leo was about to speak, but was stopped by Ethrith raising his hand, and then saw the female elf ghost reach out and grab Leo's arm, and said, "Don't resist." β
As the words fell, Leo felt as if he had entered a portal, being pulled by a force, and soon the scene in front of him suddenly changed, he was no longer in the ruins of the underground elves, but standing in a temple, which was completely illuminated by the flames in the brazier, and turned his head to look outside, but he could not see any light, as if he was shrouded in endless darkness.
And at this moment, Leo felt that the extraordinary power in his body had also changed, and those Vilun World Divine Spirit Seals had been completely sealed, and the power of those outer gods had been completely unsealed, and the spiritual energy had become extremely active, as if he was in the universe.
"Subspace World!" Leo immediately had an answer in his mind, but he shook his head again, and secretly said in his heart: "It's an incomplete subspace debris world!"
Leo can already determine that the place where this temple is located is a subspace debris world similar to Yam Island, but unlike Yam Island, this place is much worse in terms of world level, after all, Yam Island already has its own world power, which can suppress and repel foreign gods such as corpse collectors, and this subspace debris world obviously does not have this effect.
Leo looked around the temple again, and he soon noticed that some things that shouldn't belong here were neatly arranged on the side of the temple wall, these things were very familiar to Leo, they were the hibernation pods used for interstellar navigation.
At this moment, those elves who were supposed to be ghosts have all turned into entities, and they all lie down in the dormant pod, skillfully operating the control screen on the dormant pod, and entering a state of deep hibernation.
"You don't seem surprised by what is happening in front of you, have you experienced it before?" At this moment, Aceris, who had turned from a ghost state into a physical entity, stood beside Leo, looked at the expression on Leo's face with some confusion, and said, "Have you seen these sleeping coffins before?"
"Is this called the Coffin of Sleep?" Leo asked rhetorically.
Ethrius glanced at Leo with a little meaning and said, "Yes, this thing is called the Coffin of Sleep, a sacred relic given to us by the goddess so that we can survive. β
As he spoke, Ethrius walked to the temple and bowed respectfully to the statue of the Trinity of the goddess Meritelli, then stood up, sat down on the chair in front of the idol, looked at Leo and asked, "Now Mr. Leo Dodd, can you tell me how the outside world is doing?" and if I am satisfied, I can give you a small gift before you leave. β
When Aceris sat on the chair in front of the idol, Leo immediately felt that the life form on the other party's body seemed to have changed by leaps and bounds, from a life form that was only equivalent to a fourth-level psionic to a seventh-level psionic person's life form, forming a great life level suppression for Leo, if Leo didn't have the imprints of various gods in his body, maybe he would have been completely affected by the other party by now.
And Leo also found that he should not have directly traveled to this subspace plane world now, but entered this world in an almost soul-like way like these elves just now, but because of the special power contained in this temple, it made him look more like an entity.
The reason why Leo was so sure of his present tense soul or spirit body state was because he didn't feel any blood power from his body.
Although Leo didn't know how the other party did this, he didn't worry too much, he had a lot of hole cards, even if the other party had malicious intentions, he had a way to turn the tables, so when the other party asked, he also seemed very relaxed, walked to the side, also sat on a chair, and said, "As you wish." β
Later, Leo carefully recounted the history of the countries of the continent that he had learned from Regier, and it was strange that Aceris did not ask about the current situation of the elves, nor about Tausent, but she was very interested in the events that happened on Sunedland, and asked several times until Leo emptied all the contents of his stomach.
"Can you tell me about your world?" Ace suddenly asked again.
Leo didn't seem flustered when he was told the origin, in fact, he knew very well that the other party was already very clear about his origin the moment he brought him here, after all, he had so many imprints of gods from another world in his body, which was as eye-catching as a light in the night.
However, he did not respond to Aceris, but was silent for a while, and said: "I have always advocated equal exchange, and if Your Excellency Priestess wants to know these things, then you have to pay something of equal value. β
"And what do you wantβmoney, power, or power?" asked Ethrius in a deep voice.
Leo shook his head and said, "There is only one thing I want, and that is knowledge. β
As he spoke, he used his psionic energy to quickly write a series of words in the air, ancient elven words that he still hadn't figured out the meaning of.
When he saw Leo so skillfully writing the ancient elven script, Acerith couldn't hide the look of surprise on his face, and his eyes became a little excited when he looked at Leo.
Previously, the reason why Ethrith suddenly led her clergy back to the ruins and told the past of the Elven Kingdom in the ruins was not only to restore some memories of her kindred who had been sleeping in the sleeping coffin for a long time, but also because she had obtained the oracle of the goddess, which prompted her to meet someone who could get him out of his current predicament.
So when she saw Leo, she showed no hostility, and led Leo to the temple, which wasn't supposed to be accessible to humans.
However, even after obtaining the oracle, she still had doubts about Leo as the person mentioned in the oracle, and it was not until Leo wrote the ancient elven script that she was completely sure that Leo was that person.
Because the key to helping them get out of their current predicament is in this ancient elven script, and although she understands this script, she doesn't know how to use this script to arrange the portal, so the broken portal is always bad, and they have been trapped here for so many years, but fortunately, the goddess has mercy, so that they can survive the sleeping coffin.
It's just that the side effects of using the Coffin of Sleep for a long time have also appeared, and many elves have begun to forget the past, if they don't leave here and continue to use the Coffin of Sleep, then everyone may lose their memories of the past.
"I can teach you this kind of writing, but I need to change the conditions. Aceres quickly made her decision, saying.
"What conditions?" asked Leo in a deep voice.
Aceres stood up, motioned for Leo to come with her, and led Leo to a smaller room at the back of the temple, pointing to the broken magic circles on the walls around the room, and said, "My condition is that you fix them." β
The moment she saw the magic array, Leo couldn't help but be stunned again, because she not only saw the traces of the portal magic array she had learned before on this magic array, but even saw the shadow of the Turing root on it, it was obvious that the person who arranged this magic array was not only proficient in the portal, but even had a deep attainment in the Turing root, which was almost no worse than the wizard of the tower.
