……

"No, I don't."

Matthew was slightly stunned, and then chose to refuse without hesitation.

Beanna is not giving up:

"The teacher said that human identity does not hinder this."

"He also told me that if you're worried about trouble, you can disguise yourself as an elf in appearance, and as a mage, you should have a lot of ways to do this, right?"

"Of course, if you are not afraid of trouble, there is no problem in taking the position of patriarch directly as a human being."

"The teacher said he would take care of everything."

Terast has taken care of everything, what else are you looking for me to do?

Matthew smiled inwardly, still shaking his head in refusal.

His mind was clear that Terast's actions were not only dangerous in themselves, but could also face sanctions from the alliance at any time.

The other party wants to tie himself to the thief ship.

Matthew, of course, didn't want to be a gunman.

But he didn't make it clear in front of Beanna about this-

He wasn't sure what Terast's purpose was to take Beanna as an apprentice and push her to the forefront.

If it's to woo yourself.

Then it is more beneficial for the girl to remain silent;

If Terast really took a fancy to Beana's heart or talent.

Why did Matthew bother to be a villain between master and apprentice?

It's best to keep your distance like that.

Seeing Matthew refuse so simply.

Beanna looked a little lost.

It was only then that Matthew noticed that her body was trembling slightly from time to time.

Her shoulders and chest trembled terribly.

It's also strange to say.

Obviously, she was as stable as Mount Tai in front of so many people just now.

Now I'm alone with myself.

Instead, these anomalies appeared.

Matthew asked softly:

"A little scared, right?"

"There are so many elves out there, it's really a big scene."

Who knew that Beanna shook her head:

"No, not at all, I'm just a little excited!"

Matthew was speechless.

Beanna eats and laughs:

"I was a little scared at first, but soon I told myself what would happen to Seve if she had this kind of scene?"

"A woman like her can't be scared, right? Instead, I might get excited, so I imagined myself as her, and then I got really excited......"

said.

Her body even shivered uncontrollably.

Matthew saw that the girl's face was red and her eyes were bright, and his heart was even more speechless-

What kind of imitation is Seve in your eyes!?

He wanted to ask.

But in the end, I held back.

Girls are very sensitive to each other's comparisons.

Don't look at Beanna herself taking the initiative to mention this, she belongs to herself, and it is another thing for others to mention this.

Matthew knows this quite well.

"Seriously, Matthew, don't you really want to be the patriarch?"

"What a beautiful location it is!"

Beanna still looked expectant.

Matthew shook his head indifferently:

"This matter involves principles, and I can't agree to it, even if it is to manipulate a puppet elf to be the Pope of Terlast."

"What's more, if Terast wants to become a god, he may not get permission from the Alliance."

Beanna's eyes widened.

Her expression looked a little incredulous:

"Do you still need the permission of the alliance to become a god?"

Matthew smiled:

"So far."

"If the alliance leaders don't allow it, Terast's forcible canonization of gods may lead to even greater tragedy......"

A hint of worry flashed across Beana's bewildered face.

Can be fast.

She bit her lip:

"I see, thank you for the reminder."

"But I can't do it halfway, can I?"

"I need the strength and power of my teacher, I need this identity, whether it is a disciple of Mr. Terlast, or a saint of the god of the elves, these are my only chances to get rid of mediocrity."

"I've been an ordinary girl since I was a child, and I can't be an ordinary girl anymore."

"But standing in this position, holding this stone basin, and meeting the eyes of those elves, I feel that I have become different."

"Even you—Matthew—you look at me differently today, don't you?"

"I love that, I love the feeling of being watched, and I want to try it even though the future is dangerous."

"I don't want to live that life where I can't control my own destiny anymore!"

Matthew's gaze calmly met Beanna's bold gaze.

He read many other emotions in the girl's wistful eyes—rebellion, longing, unwillingness, yearning...... And a hint of anger!

So he smiled and said with relief:

"Don't be so nervous, the alliance may not veto Terlast's ascension."

"It's just that everything is like what I told you before, once you get rid of the life of ordinary people, you are destined to usher in more risks, although the ratio between the two is not necessarily absolutely symmetrical, but it is generally positively correlated."

"Protect yourself."

Beanna nodded vigorously.

Then she stood on one foot and took off one shoe.

She pulled a screeched stone out of the toe of her white sock.

After dropping the stone on the ground.

The girl stuck out her tongue at Matthew.

The sound of musical instruments could be heard in the valley not far away.

"I've got to go, there's still a couple of laps to go, Matthew, are you going to be here all the time today?"

Beanna reluctantly wanted to leave.

Matthew nodded:

"I've been in the Valley of the Divine Tree today, if there's anything you can do right to me."

Beanna's face was flushed with joy, she let out a soft "um", and left with the stone basin in her arms.

watched the girl's back go away.

Matthew muttered in his heart.

His mind conjured up Isabel and the other divine mages, the faces of the Upper Legends.

Will Isabel allow Terast to become a god?

If she agrees, what about Ronan and Qin Wuyue?

And Chen and Youruo?

The previous goddess of moonlight gave away all the moons in exchange for a chance to recover in a few hundred years.

And what is Terast?

Or rather.

What kind of chips does he have in his hands?

"I always feel like I'm almost going to be used as a gun again......"

Thinking back to the look in Beanna's eyes when she first looked up at him, Matthew naturally thought of the scene before the girl left Rolling Stone.

It's a look that's hard to refuse.

Fortunately, Matthew is sober enough.

"Jade Cangting is really a bullshit place!"

"If I had stayed in Rolling Stone, I wouldn't have had so much!"

Matthew shook his head.

Let's concentrate on our own greening.

All you need to do is report Terast's movements to the Silver Council on a regular basis.

Before the legend.

He only deserves to be a mobile vision and a microphone.

Nothing else or anything else.

In his thoughts, he was going to leave.

But at this time.

Matthew suddenly turned to the other side of the ruins, where the shadows were empty, but he could smell a faint fragrance.

"Ailan?"

Matthew looked into the shadows a little speechlessly.

A few seconds passed.

The elven mage walked out of the shadows with some embarrassment:

"I thought you couldn't find me."

Matthew frowned:

"Are you eavesdropping?"

Ai Lan hurriedly waved his hand and said:

"No, no, I respect other people's privacy."

"I didn't listen to a word of what you said."

"Well, I'm hiding here because I saw you sneaking up this way - I'm afraid you two are going to do some ridiculous things here......"

Matthew couldn't help but roll his eyes:

"This is the ruins of the temple of the elven god!"

"Who would do something like this?"

Ai Lan innocently puffed up her cheeks:

"It's not ......"

Now it was Matthew's turn to be stunned.

The elven mage blushed:

"When I was looking through ancient books, I saw a lot of similar descriptions in some books about customs and miscellaneous things-

It is said that the holy woman of the elven clan is the most popular cheating object.

The lifelong dream of many young elven males is to have a tryst with the holy woman at the sacrificial ceremony of the elven god.

It's almost an achievement that can be equated to the level of a dragon slayer - well, it shouldn't be that exaggerated, but it can really be boasted of for a lifetime for a young elf......"

Matthew finally reacted:

"So you wood elves used to do this a lot, didn't you?"

"Wait, the priest of the sacrifice ceremony? Wouldn't the god of the elves object? ”

Ai Lan coughed, her expression became more and more empty, but she still gave Matthew a science popularization very frankly:

"The god of elves has always been very open-minded."

"He thinks that proper cheating can inject a touch of lubricant into the elves' numb marriages, keep life fresh, and occasionally satisfy the thrills that their partners can't."

"He felt it would help stabilize the overall structure of the elven community."

"Although I don't quite agree with his set of concepts, but judging from historical statistics, the elven god is still active, and the probability of the wood elves growing old together seems to be the highest, and after the fall of the elven god, the phenomenon of men and women parting ways is becoming more and more obvious......"

Matthew was completely silent.

What else could he say?

It's a wood elf!

"So, does Terast have a lover?"

Matthew asked suddenly.

Ai Lan was stunned for a moment.

She thought seriously for a long time, and finally shook her head:

"Nope."

"He only seems to care about his stick."

"Eh, I mean his bamboo stick, eh, literally bamboo stick......"

Ai Lan explained a little awkwardly.

Matthew looked at her with a hint of a smile:

"You don't have to stress about it."

The elven mage blushed instantly, and retreated directly into the shadows, and the whole person disappeared.

Matthew shook his head with a smile.

From the perspective of the wood elves, Ai Lan is actually quite young, and most of her mana is inherited from her father, who is a forest demigod, so it is normal to be shy.

Should it be said or not.

The scene when Ai Lan fled with a red face can be regarded as a unique style.

Even a strong-willed person like Matthew would think it was a beautiful scene.

Think about it.

Even such a beautiful girl may become as numb as other wood elves in a few hundred years.

Matthew was instantly bored.

He left the stone house, found a high point, and continued to observe the progress of the ceremony.

Afternoon.

Beanna continued to lead the Wanderers and other onlookers in repeating the Elves' path to glory again and again.

There was a small episode during this period.

On her third ascent to the mountain.

A sturdy female elf suddenly rushed out of the camphor forest next to her.

She rushed to Beanna and yelled:

"There's no place for you here!"

"The hymn of the god of the elves is not your turn to be sung by a human!"

"Only the Elven Saintess is qualified to do this!"

"A stinky bitch with a few taels of rotten meat on his chest!"

After scolding.

The vulgar female elf also rushed to Beanna and stretched out her hand to slap her!

Syllable!

The slap slapped Beanna in the face.

But it was the female elf herself who exhaled in pain!

In the astonished eyes of everyone.

In the frightened wail of the female elves.

A bright red palm print quickly appeared on her face!

"What kind of magic did you do to me?!"

The elf was shocked and angry.

At this time, Beana's face was still extremely white.

Her expression was holy and serene, and she immediately looked at the elf condescendingly with a look of pity:

"And God said, Whoever is savage and foolish shall have plague."

The voice fell.

The facial muscles of the female elf were covered with layers of waxy yellow folds!

In the screams of terror.

The female elf's facial features were sunken, as if they had turned into a puddle of mud.

Her skin also weathered at a breakneck rate -

In the blink of an eye.

The female elf who was still menacing just now turned into a wax figure on the side of the mountain road!

Tick!

Tick!

From time to time, oil is still oozing down the wax figures!

Without looking back, Beanna continued to walk up the hill.

But the remaining elves were completely stunned!

From the whispers and discussions in their mouths, Matthew learned that the punishment method of turning enemies into wax figures was also the favorite method of the former elven god!

It's time to come.

Beanna has a hint of sacredness in the eyes of most elves!

First, the young man dressed in a hundred flower costumes shouted praises to the great elven god and the elven saintess.

Then the exiled and other onlookers hurried to follow.

On the mountain road.

The number of elves following Beanna is growing!

It was time for the ninth lap.

Matthew estimated that there were even eight or nine thousand elves who were spontaneously following her!

Someone is chanting the name of the god of the elves.

Someone was shouting Terast's name.

There is also a small group of people who worship the Holy Maiden.

Matthew turns on equilibrium perception.

Time.

The colors in the valley become colorful.

He saw countless gray and white rays of light pouring into the stone basin on Beanna and her chest, a small part of it even the most pure white light!

Matthew knows.

That's the power of faith!

And the pure white light represents the most fanatical faith!

"It's terrifying, in just half a day, there is a momentum to condense divinity......"

Matthew only thinks it's outrageous:

"How the Wood Elves yearn for a god!?"

With the blessing of all kinds of light.

Beanna's figure became incomparably plump, and even Matthew couldn't help but take a few more looks.

It's time to come.

Matthew also had to admit that what Beanna said was right.

The blessing of identity can give a life a charm beyond itself.

Swap to usual.

Matthew certainly wouldn't have stared at her for so long......

"Then again, that wax figure shouldn't be a real divine punishment, right?"

"Terast hasn't really become a god yet, he's not even a demigod, it's impossible to master divine power."

"It's like an illusion, but it's not all ......"

Matthew stared at the wax figure of the female elf.

He sensed a hint of a familiar aura, and it was probably the power of the Phantom Dragon!

The female elf came so abruptly that Matthew hadn't noticed her in the crowd before, indicating that the other party had been hidden a long time ago.

At such a time, where would an elf dare to openly disagree with Terast-

There is a high probability that it was arranged by Terast!

"The elven old man is really well-intentioned."

Matthew subconsciously looked around, but unfortunately found nothing.

But he can be sure.

Terast must be hidden somewhere in the valley.

If all goes well.

He won't show up all day.

Ever since the concept of a resurrected elven god was introduced, Matthew realized that Terast might have to take a back seat.

Not to mention the ordinary people of the Jade Garden.

Even if Matthew wanted to see him, it would be difficult to get to the sky.

That's not to say that Terast floated.

Rather, it is because mystical nature is one of the necessary conditions for becoming a god.

Any unwanted appearance threatens to damage the majesty of the gods.

The gods of Tianlun Palace are because they always like to show up and collapse their sex, so they have mixed up with this field.

Terast was clearly going to learn their lesson.

And the Phantom Dragon.

Matthew was almost certain that Terlast was working with the Phantom Dragon.

On the one hand, there are the illusions that appear in today's Path of Glory ceremony.

It is not easy to imitate the traces of the elven gods, especially if you want to simulate the divine arts through spells.

But it doesn't matter if Terast has a strong ally who is proficient in illusion.

On the other hand, it is because of what happened to Matthew before.

Just the day before the ceremony.

He was pulled into the illusion space of the phantom dragon.

The timing is a bit too coincidental.

Matthew reasonably suspects that this is another preparation by Terast to pull himself on the thief ship.

The old guy is very shrewd.

If Matthew is not careful, he may become cannon fodder caught between the Alliance and the Jade Court.

Fortunately, since he had the Void Bloodline, he had become more cautious.

This can be regarded as a blessing and a curse.

The Nine Circles Mountain Road is finished.

Beanna leads the Wanderers to open a portal to the Jungle of Mystic Light in the depths of the temple ruins.

Matthew couldn't see how she opened the door.

But he noticed that there was an inconspicuous little loach in the stone basin.

That loach could be the embodiment of the phantom dragon in the material realm.

Then a bright portal of light appeared in front of the elves.

Behind the door emerge leisurely daylight, beautiful woods, empty grasslands, and sapphire lakes;

Songs of praise to the god of the elves rang in their ears;

Above the portal.

Countless phantoms flew by.

Those phantoms caused a lot of movement in the Wood Elf community.

They are said to represent the most faithful servants of the god of elves, the Willow Leaf Angels.

Under the backdrop of the atmosphere.

Many elves, especially the elven elves, recalled the glory of the Jade Court in the past.

There were tears in their eyes.

Then he resolutely walked into the portal!

Along with one figure after another, they disappeared behind the door.

Matthew could feel that the divinity in Beanna's body was condensing faster!

Of course, this divinity is only temporarily deposited in Beanna's body.

Wait until the time is right.

Terast will take it.

Until then.

He has the power to be officially a god!

Once all the Wanderers have entered the door in turn, the gates of the Mystic Light Jungle are closed.

Beanna didn't say anything.

Quietly disappeared into the mountains and forests.

The remaining elves stood there a little lost, unwilling to leave for a long time.

They even envy the old men who can enter the jungle!

Feel the fiery power of faith of the elves.

Matthew's expression changed slightly.

He became more serious.

He realized that he had underestimated the power of Terast after he became a god!

This guy was originally a level 28 mortal top.

Once a god.

It is very likely to break through to level 30 and above!

That's a power comparable to that of a god mage.

What's even more terrifying.

Matthew didn't expect the elves to be so terrifying about their pent-up faith desires for hundreds of years.

They are so eager to have a patron saint.

And when this patronus really happens.

The faith they can give is as fervent as a tsunami!

And that's not all.

The influence of the elven god is not limited to the Jade Realm.

Heavily influenced by the culture of the Wood Elves, Riptide City bore the brunt.

Many of the human city-states in the South, especially those on the East Coast, are also easily affected.

At that time, these huge forces of faith will be gathered in Terast alone......

It is really possible that he will have the power of Isabel in the short term!

"It's also my stereotype, the reason why the gods of Tianlun Palace collapsed is because there have been no large number of believers for hundreds of years, and the current Aindo, the god track is actually a potential blue ocean, and Terast is likely to swallow a large piece of ...... if he steps in."

The more Matthew thought about it, the more terrifying he felt.

The original firm belief in his heart was slightly shaken-

"Or?"

"Isn't there a shame in being a pope?"

On the way back to the mage's camp.

Matthew was a little distracted.

Before he knew it, he kicked on a large rock.

He glanced to the side.

In a thick pile of fallen leaves, there was a glittering golden light.

Matthew went over and swept away the fallen leaves and picked up a money bag from inside.

Pull open the pocket of the money bag.

There's a golden glow inside!

Matthew raised his eyebrows slightly:

"It's still a storage prop?"

He visually inspected it, and the number of gold coins inside was close to twenty thousand!

This was far more than he had estimated.

But the next second.

The money bag in his hand suddenly began to melt, and in an instant it turned into a lump of dirt and a few stones.

Matthew pouted:

"Sure enough, it's an illusion."

He looked at the stat bar and confirmed that the illusion effect was canceled out by the spell negation—

The spell effects of the counter series also apply to illusions.

Unless there may be a lack of offset on the Illusioner's territory.

In most cases, it is applicable.

Phantom Dragon is indeed a master.

But he himself was still squatting in the Nine Shadows, and the quality of the illusion that he had cast remotely through the Prayer Technique could only be said to be average.

Don't say Matthew took precautions in advance.

Even if there is no estimate, it can't fool him for a few seconds.

He threw away the stone and continued walking.

Didn't go far.

He saw a money bag on the road again.

Matthew bent down again and found that there was still a large sum of money inside, this time about eight thousand.

And yet in an instant.

The money was lost and turned into sticks and cotton.

Matthew glanced at the data bar again.

This time it's a spell counter that works.

He threw away the garbage and moved on.

When we got to the camp gate.

Matthew discovers the third money bag.

The money bag was placed in the middle of the road, as if it was competing with Matthew.

Matthew laughed but didn't say a word.

He patiently picked up the money bag, but before he could see the contents clearly, the money bag directly turned into some animal hair!

Well.

The previously hung spell bounce was also triggered.

"What do you mean by Phantom Dragon, always fooling me with trick-level illusions? I'm sorry for the 100 gold coin prayer fee? ”

Matthew wondered.

He walked into the camp, and as soon as he entered the door, he saw a huge piece of gold placed there!

Considering that there are no spells on the body that can break the illusion.

Matthew directly picked up a rock and smashed it at the gold.

Smack.

The gold turned into a lump of shit.

Matthew was stunned.

data bar.

……

"Hint: The Phantom Dragon has deprived you of "a little bit of good luck"!

The Phantom Dragon violated the laws of the Prayer Spell and received a slight punishment......

Phantom Dragon's dislike for you +1!"

……

Not really, right?

So careful?

Somewhat puzzled, Matthew returned to his room, only to find that the incense burner was stuffed with gold coins.

He counted them, and there were exactly a hundred.

It seems that the phantom dragon has returned all the money, and he can be regarded as a particular person.

Matthew thought for a moment.

It was decided to keep a little distance from Terast, the Phantom Dragon, and even Beanna for the time being.

It's too stormy.

He felt he couldn't grasp it.

Of course.

Stay away from the Phantom Dragon.

It doesn't mean that you should be a little farther away from his illusion space.

It's time for the evening.

Matthew departed from the illusionary space of the phantom dragon with ease.

immediately buried his head on the table.

It didn't take long.

Several scrolls of magical knowledge written in Sioux script were dropped on the table.

It's a new spell that Matthew just stole from the library -

"Nine Ghosts."

Translated into Eindo's style, it is "the wind that eats the bones".

Bone-Eater's Wind is a fifth-order mass debuff spell.

It summons a gust of wind dominated by nine spirits to strike a large group of enemies.

Targets enveloped in the wind will have a large amount of resistance, toughness, armor, and so on.

Meanwhile.

If you are caught by a ghost in the wind.

The target unit suffers varying degrees of vulnerability.

Even if the hardest meat shield is caught by several ghosts at the same time, it will become crispy in an instant.

Even better.

Units caught by the Wraith will take on a bright green glow, which can be used to make it easier for the caster to focus fire or mend the blade.

Matthew looked it up.

There are no similar spells in the alliance spell library at present, and it can be said that it is the original creation of the Eastern Continent.

If he is a little shameless, he can even report this spell in the name of his own spell, and he can make a lot of money.

It's different from the previous heart-burning spell that was hard to learn and was going to die.

It only took Matthew one night to master the spell of the Nine Ghosts Wind Evil, a negative energy realm.

But I want to really take shape.

He still had to catch nine eligible ghosts, because of the principle, the number of ghosts in Matthew's hands was very small, so he had to wait until he returned to the cemetery, and then asked the white ghost Ali if there was a suitable object.

The next period of time.

Matthew maintains a two-point-one-line rhythm of life.

During the day, he planted trees with the druids and wrote a balanced contract;

Learn various fifth-order spells in the camp at night.

Time flies.

Before I knew it, it was June 17th.

It's the boiling day of Ash Lake again.

Matthew came to the Gray Lake with the cold diamond stone and the coagulant.

As always.

The sparks and mud in the gray lake were tumbling violently.

The phoenix egg goes up and down inside.

Sometimes you almost jump out of the lake!

"The soul of the dragon is getting more and more unbearable......"

Matthew shook his head.

He was about to put out the fire in the Gray Lake in a step-by-step manner.

Suddenly, he stopped.

Followed by.

He was blessed with a wisp of spiritual power and pierced into the phoenix egg.

It was at that moment.

New information has emerged on the data bar.

……

"Hint: If an eligible doppelganger is detected, do you want to bury the first spiritual power seed in the "Divine Phoenix Egg"?"

……

"Can you really bury the spiritual seed?"

Matthew's eyes lit up.

"Can I have a phoenix clone?"

……
