Violet Tower.

On the raised mountain beams, the jumble of jagged boulders makes the narrow mountain path seem rather rugged. But Illo, who walks through the sparse woods, is still light and stress-free.

He had just had a sumptuous campfire lunch in the woods with his ogre brothers, and his stomach was bulging, and he pulled a slender stalk of grass to pick his teeth, and hummed a little song happily.

The sun is shining, the air is fresh, and it's another pleasant day.

"Illo!" he said, subconsciously shrinking his head and glancing at where the voice had come from.

"It's Bai Ji......" he said with a relaxed smile, "what's the matter?"

"The regimental commander called you back. Bai Ji glanced at him, and he didn't have a good breath.

"Allegri told me to come over, what happened?" Illo scratched his head, and walked side by side with Baiji towards the valley below the mountain beam.

"The head of the regiment said that your cousin is here, so you have something to talk about in the past. Bai Ji said casually.

"Cousin?" Illo's face was puzzled, "I have been expelled from the elven tribe, where did I come from?"

"Anyway, there is indeed an elf girl in the tower, and she seems to be fascinated by our captain, "The barbarian girl is also a girl, and she doesn't cover it when she gossips," the head of the regiment also looked affectionate. ”

"Who the hell is it?" Illo frowned, "I didn't have any familiar cousins before I was expelled." ”

"How did you get expelled?" Bai Ji looked at him curiously.

"Well...... "Illo," he laughed, "probably because I'm so handsome." ”

"Go aside," Bai Ji glanced at him, "what is the reason? Is it because of your human blood?"

"Not really," Illo explained, "you know. The Highland Elves are sparsely populated, and their attitude towards the Half-Elves is not as extreme as that of the Lowland Elves, and of course, living in the Elven tribe with this half-human blood will also have a lot of trouble, which is unavoidable. ”

"Actually, I'm also half human. Bai Ji glanced at him and smiled, "Don't you see, I'm not like an ordinary barbarian. ”

"I've seen it a long time ago," Illo wiped the memory from his face and laughed again, "I always thought you were a human warrior before I was familiar with it, but wouldn't you be criticized in the tribe?"

Bai Ji frowned and thought about it. Shaking his head, "No, they're all nice to me." ”

"That's pretty good, much better than me. Illo smiled and shook his head. Both of them are high-level professionals with sharp skills, and after this conversation, the tower is already close in front of them.

"Allegri, why are you calling me?" Illo had already shouted.

As he shouted, he stepped into the study on the sixth floor and glanced at it. Slightly surprised, "Is that you?"

Evelora nodded, still unpretentious to him, "It's me." ”

"Aren't you a little happy when your cousins see each other?" said Allegri, smiling as he sat aside.

Evelora snorted and didn't speak.

"Forget it. Captain," Illo shrugged helplessly, walked over to Allegri and whispered, "The attitude of the lowland elves towards the half-elves is very extreme. She didn't directly purify me, which was already polite. ”

"Well, it was my negligence......" Allegri patted his head, he had indeed forgotten about it.

"Allegri, is he the one you're talking about?" asked Evelola, frowning.

"That's right," Allegri straightened his face, "Illo went on a mission in the Misty Swamp two days ago, and witnessed the King of Evil Spirits absorb the ancestral souls of the ogre tribe's totems and restore his strength. Illo, tell me again. ”

Illo nodded, and recounted what he had seen and heard in the ogre tribe, watching Evelola's expression become more and more solemn, and wondered, "Could it be that something happened so soon?"

Allegri glanced at the sun that was gradually setting to the west, and said in a deep voice, "According to Ephrola's information, there is a powerful ogre tribe in the Misty Swamp that has been controlled by the Lord of Evil Spirits. Under its control, these ogres are attacking other tribes and plundering the Totem Pillars, and the Demon King's power will recover faster and faster, and it will recover much faster than we originally expected. ”

Illo pondered for a moment and asked, "Didn't the Demon King himself move?"

"No," Evelora nodded, interjecting as she asked, "You just said that in the Stone Fang Tribe you stopped the Evil Spirit King for a while, allowing these ogres to escape?"

"yes, what's going on?" Illo wondered.

"It shouldn't take less than half a day to get the entire ogre tribe out, right?" Evelola stared at Illo.

Illo nodded again.

"Even the Demon King, who has just escaped from the seal, has a power that no mortal can match, especially its unique soul attack method, which is almost immune to all physical defenses. I want to ask, how did you do that?" Evelola frowned.

"This—" Illo hesitated, hesitating, as if trying to hide something.

"Can't you say that?" Evelola suddenly stepped forward, her eyes burning.

"If you can't say it, you don't have to say it," Allegri, who had been silent, suddenly stood up, blocked Evelola's burning gaze, and asked with a frown, "Miss Everolea?"

"There's nothing you can't say," Illo whispered, "Miss Evelola guessed that too, didn't she?"

"Is it really?" said Evelola, taking a step back and whispering, "So the legend is true?

"Yes. Illo took the bone bow "Soul Hunter" into his hand, flipped it around, and nodded slightly.

"It seems that the one that the Augustil Ancestor trusts more is indeed Daisy, not the Ancestor of Narya," Ephlora seemed to be a little lost in her eyes, and immediately cheered up and asked, "May I ask, is your mastery of the Oblivion Thorn the inheritance of the Ancestor, or was it taught by Lord Augustil himself?"

"You should know that to activate the Soul Thorn, you need to enter the state of 'Void Vision' first, right?" Illo asked, seeing Evangela nodding before continuing, "'Void Vision' is a secret technique passed down from Daisy's ancestors. The Thorn of Oblivion was taught to me by Lord Augustus himself at the top of the Green Tower. ”

Ephlora glanced at him, "If you have the Thorn of Oblivion, then you won't have a problem stopping the King of Evil Spirits. ”

"This ......," Allegri raised his hand to the side, "I don't understand it, but I think it must be very powerful." But now my question is, can you tell me what the hell does this mean?"

"You didn't tell him?" heard Allegri's request. Ephlora glanced at Illo.

"Lord Augustus won't let me go anywhere, so I didn't tell him the truth about the Lord of Evil Spirits in detail. Illo glanced cautiously at Allegri's face, slightly apologetic.

"Tell me, you don't have to take your salary this month," Allegri snorted, "by the way, when did Lord Augustil tell you?"

"I don't know what to say, I guess it was the time when you said I was controlled," Illo scratched his head, "It's very informative. I didn't finish it until I left the elven homeland. ”

"Say it now, then. Allegri sat down for a moment.

"You should know that the 'Clear Spring Council' communicated with an anomalous plane during the magic test, and it was empty, but it possessed several powerful spirit bodies, right?" Illo asked.

"Well, according to Lord August, didn't the 'Council of Clear Springs' regard them as mentors?" Allegri nodded, "Didn't the destruction of Idashir happen because of the inducement of these powerful spirit bodies?"

"Yes, that's basically what happened before. Illo nodded, "After the destruction of Idahir is irreparable. The 'Clear Springs Council', which knew the truth of the Dao, relied on its powerful magical power to fight a fierce battle against these spirits. The most powerful of these spirits were so damaged that they had to run in all directions, and the most powerful of them were sealed under the Green Tower. ”

"The Demon King?" Allegri asked.

"The King of Evil Spirits is one of the strongest of them all," Evelora chimed in, her voice low, "in the beginning. When the Elven Empire worshipped these spirits as gods, he was called the god of souls, because what he was best at was manipulating and using the power of souls. ”

"Worship as gods, what about other gods?" a chill suddenly rose in Allegri's heart. It is true that there is a name for the god of souls among the ancient gods, and there seems to be more than one god of its time, doesn't that mean......

"As you might expect. The elf girl nodded solemnly, "I don't know what the gods are after, but as long as they are the gods that appeared 10,000 years ago, they are essentially those spirit bodies from that plane. ”

"The King of Evil Spirits has reappeared in the world, will the seal under the Green Tower ......" Allegri took a deep breath, his face also solemn.

"I'm exactly what we're worried about and that's why I'm here. Ephrola nodded, "It's not just the Demon King, I suspect something is wrong with the Elven Homeland as well." That's why I came here to ask for help. ”

"But your elven kingdom doesn't lack the power of a fake and shoddy great magician, right?" Allegri smiled.

"Don't be modest, you're a descendant of Herseus the 'Fire-Rider', that's enough, besides, you're relatively close to the Misty Swamp and the Elven homeland. Yes, I admit that due to the terrain, Thorm south of the Misty Swamp and the Moonsong Forest are easier targets for the Evil King," Ephlora stood up and pointed to the map hanging on the wall, "However, the side of the couch will not allow anyone to sleep soundly, and sooner or later the Evil King will find here." ”

"Alright," Allegri didn't really reject cooperating with the Low Elf Kingdom, he nodded, "but what can we do now?"

"There's nothing we can do," Evelola said, glancing at Illo, "but with August's Thorn of Oblivion, we can really make a difference." (To be continued......)
