The three people who fell behind the large army... to be precise, the two were tense. Finn was caught in the middle and didn't know what to do. On the one hand, he trusted Link unconditionally. After Rono's death, he regarded Link as the only person he could trust. On the other hand, he had a good impression of half-elves, fearing that Link would act like he was against those knights.

Orlando once again stated that he had no malice, "I just wanted to remove the part that belongs to humanity and become a real elves."

"If you want to live forever, the person in the north can completely satisfy your wish." Link alluded to the god of death. The condition for recruiting mages is to be immortal and have more time to study magic.

"That is not true immortality. Every elves will enter the flow of life after they die. Even if they are decayed and return to the earth, their spirit will not be destroyed and they will reincarnate as new individuals. Only short-sighted humans will desire to become immortals." The half-elves answered calmly.

Reincarnation is the concept of elves, which is completely opposite to the undead who insists on this life. Learning that Orlando is a believer of the Elf Goddess, Link's doubts have been eliminated a lot.

Finally, there were two professions other than the Son of Nature when installing the game. Gonzalez symbolized a warrior and represented a ranger... would it be him?

Of course, Link did not completely believe in the half-elves' rhetoric. Malik's conspiracy barrier can even deceive the gods. He did not think that when the four elements entered the closed true Edgar, he could still use his skills to see through it casually like a illusion.

"What is the oracle you received? It's not that easy to let you meet me, right?"

"The goddess only pointed out the direction, and there was no other explanation." Orlando answered truthfully, "If you don't believe it, you can use the law of cause and effect, prophecy, and divine enlightenment to test whether I lie."

He knew about God’s Revelation? Yes, the experience and knowledge that a half-elves who lived over two hundred years old had far exceeded that of ordinary people. Link asked Orlando what plans he had in the future, and wouldn’t he just follow him like this, right?

"Yes. Until a new oracle is issued." Orlando admitted that he might not believe it even if he told the truth in this situation. He had successfully approached the target, and the rest was beyond his control.

Link stared at the half-elves for a long time and did not speak. He did not feel any obvious malice from Orlando. When he first met Abigail and Alex, he had a strange feeling and was very careful about the two of them. The facts proved that his intuition was right, just like a prophecy, both of them were trying to make him think.

It seems that besides Bry, there are more gods who are thinking about me. Even if I drive away this, there will be more believers who receive oracles, which is better than...

"It's not impossible to keep you, but I need to promise." Link asked Orlando to swear that if he destroys his plan, he will never be able to realize his wish.

"this……"

"I don't mind exposing my identity. Anyway, the aftermath is the mage's business." Link's expression turned cold. This was not to scare half-elves. He had indeed had the idea of ​​killing. Once this killing precept was broken, there was no difference between killing one and killing one hundred.

Realizing that the other party was serious, Orlando hurriedly surrendered, complaining that Link was cautious and swore as he wanted.

Finn fully agrees with Orlando joining as a companion.

Perhaps the elves' appearance is more likable. Or Orlando's approachable appearance is deliberately approachable. At this moment, Finn urgently needs someone or something to dilute his fear of Link.

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

The short trees were lush and the people who could not enter the city built simple tents in the forest that could barely fit. They looked at the new refugees with indifferent expressions, their eyes full of alertness.

Finn was very familiar with this look, just like the villagers in the old town of the River Valley. However, the people here are more hostile.

As if the conflict just now had never happened, Orlando pointed to the forest as an explanation. All those who wanted to squeeze out survival space in the forest must abide by three regulations: fire is not allowed, animals are hunted, and trees cannot be cut down or damaged. Fighting or killing within the woods is strictly prohibited.

"Why?" Finn's knowledge of Edgar was entirely derived from Ronor's oral narrative and the mainland accusations brought back from outside.

"Because this forest is alive. They are tree people who can think independently and independently, and each of them has a lifespan of at least more than a thousand years."

Finn looked around in horror, "Living?"

"They are extremely sensitive to the dead spirits of the undead, and they can even feel the murderous intent. Even the fight between humans will be driven out as enemies." Orlando turned his head and looked at Link. "After the Pillar of the Earth was eroded, these tree people also fell into a madness. If you do something here, they will be treated as enemies."

"Link... will be thrown out?" Finn hid the word Son of Nature.

"So your name is Link. Let me introduce it officially. I am Orlando and I don't have a surname." Edgar did not have the habit of shaking hands. When introducing himself, the half-elf just nodded with a smile. He was also the first person to not use the honorific title after knowing that Link was the son of nature.

"I can't be sure if he will be thrown out, but I did get kicked out by the tree man because of this." Orlando lit his chin and recalled, "When did that happen? Four years or five years ago..."

Without a surname, it means not recognized by the family and is an illegitimate child.

Link thought to himself that even after he was two hundred years old and became a little famous adventurer, he was still not recognized by his family. No wonder he had to give up his human blood.

"What is that?" Finn's attention was quickly attracted by the things in the hollow in the forest. Following his sight, Link saw a strange building. Judging from the material, it should be stone, about ten meters high and four meters wide, in the shape of a U-shaped pedestal, and was inverted on a two-meter brick and stone base. Next to the door were several well-equipped knights, with complex patterns embroidered on the chest and back.

"It's the city gate, and only through it can you enter the lower town Vaulet. Have you seen those people? They are the guards of Vaulet, and you can only enter with the permit from them."

"What if someone robs me?" Finn looked around. There were less than ten knights. Not counting the new refugees, there were not a thousand or eight hundred living here. It was a huge crowd. You could win by number, right?

"Ha~ the gap between the ranks cannot be compensated by quantity." With this sentence alone, Orlando confirmed that Finn is just an ordinary believer, and only ordinary people who have not enlightened have such stupid ideas. Along the way, Orlando was speculating on the relationship between the Son of Nature and the God of Knowledge. The Great Sage Bray has been holding the title of the strongest mankind to the deity of God since the beginning of the Silver Age. As the latest promoted god, he gave the Son of Nature his own holy emblem. He also arranged believers to be by his side. What was the purpose? What was the goddess trying to get me close to Link?

Link also had the same idea when it came to Finn's question. It was too far apart to perceive, but it was possible to tell from the momentum that those knights were not ordinary people. He estimated that they were at least at the same level as Henry of Watch Castle. Even if they could not fight one against a hundred, it would be absolutely fine to fight one against ten.

Link asked Orlando how to enter the city?

The half-elf pointed to the spherical object suspended on the U-shaped door and said, "Show personal strength to the Eye of True Knowledge placed on the door."

The Eye of True Knowledge, such a familiar name...ah!

Link remembered where he had heard of it.

Longyan Castle. But that is called the Eye of Reality, which is the magic art of the morning light. It is logical that this is the Magic Goddess Temple area, so the magic art of the morning light should not be used. I remember that in the illusion, Dante said that many mechanisms of Longyan Castle are set up with mines. This thing like a monitor should also be from the hands of a former sage who has become a god.

The caravan drove into the U-shaped door unimpeded, as if he had entered a space that was invisible. One carriage after another disappeared under everyone's noses. Then it was the turn of the city who claimed to be a mage apprentice, aristocrat, and craftsman. The so-called guards did not need to do anything at all. The authenticity of these people was entirely based on the globe-shaped eye of true knowledge. Unlike the real eye of metal in the illusion, this eye of true knowledge is alive. The huge floating eyeballs floated by each applicant and would emit a ray of light. The blue guards would release them, and the red would be stopped.

Like everyone else, Finn had no good feelings for that big eyeball, and he subconsciously looked at Link.

Except for the time when he was not seen by the dead in the underground passage, Finn never felt the so-called miracles, nor did he gain any power, let alone hear oracles. He once suspected that Link was the believer who was chosen as the God of Knowledge, who was fooling him, but he didn't want to fulfill his promise.

Link took out the invitation letter from Hornheim. In fact, he was unsure. If he couldn't pass, he would hand it over to the guards. Since it was given by the Mage Council, it should be useful.

Orlando recognized the envelope in Link's hand at a glance, with the stamp of the Mage Council, which was an invitation letter that only special people could get: "To be honest, I'm very curious about Hornheim's purpose of inviting you."

Link answered in the word "secret".

"Okay, I can't say it." Orlando was not angry, and turned to see Finn's face full of panic, and comforted him a few words, anyone with the seal of wisdom could enter directly.

Finn raked his bangs with his fingers, revealing his forehead and light blue marks. The people around him immediately cast envious eyes at him, which more or less relieved his uneasiness.

It was Finn's turn, and his eyes passed directly. Link put away the invitation letter and followed Finn into the invisible barrier, as if he was suddenly teleported to another place. There was a completely different world inside the door, with tall towers lined up, spacious and tidy streets, blue sky, and the air was filled with fragrance of flowers. Finn was stunned, and his mouth was so surprised that he opened his mouth into an O-shaped shape.

Is this really Edgar? I have been here for ten years. The sky here is always gloomy and has never cleared up. Whether it is a small village or a town, it is filled with a breath of despair. It feels like the end of the world, without hope. This scene in front of me is the fantasy world he saw in the movie, mysterious and dreamy.

Unlike Finn's transformation from daze to surprise, Link has a gloomy face.

People outside live in the shadows and fears of death every day, but they are arranged like heaven, as if war has never happened.

Oran opened his hand and walked around the pebbled ground, saying sarcastically: "This is the paradise where Waolette, the mage and the nobles live and die in a drunken and dreamy way."

"What should I do next?" Link's face reminded Finn of the scene on the hills, and his eyes were the same as they are now.

"I have to go to the Craftsman District to register first. The scholar's residence is in the East City Bookstore. You can get free accommodation there, and then we meet at the Golden Rose Tavern in the center of the city. We must come. Craftsmen are not qualified to enter the Craftsman District. If you don't know the road, you can ask the guards on the street." Obviously, it was not the first time that Orlando came to point the direction of the Craftsman District to Link and went straight west. The lowest building in that area should be the Craftsman District mentioned by Orlando.

Following the guidance of the half-elves, Link and Finn walked along the spacious circular street to a row of square houses. The street signs beside the streets read the book area in various common terms. The guards here are not living people, but magic puppets made of alchemy, which only display the mark of wisdom, and they are also released like the Eye of True Knowledge.

"How come they are so sure that our mark is not fake?"

As soon as Finn finished speaking, a voice rang in front of them, and the middle-aged man in a blue robe appeared out of thin air not far from the two.

"It depends on the divine power on the divine emblem, not the pattern." He looked at Link and Finn with a blank expression, "New scholar, come with me."

The man walked silently, his robe flew, and Finn glanced down, and his feet were actually hanging in the air!

The streets of the book collection area are much narrower than outside. Each building also marks the categories of books in a variety of common terms. There are several low rooms at the bottom. The man pushed the innermost one and signaled that they would live here in the future. The accommodation was free, but no food was provided. All material expenses were borne by themselves. Then he left.

"Hey hey hey~ Did you see it? His feet didn't land just now." Gillard had never used a spell in front of Finn, and this was the first time he saw a mage using spells at such a close distance.

"It's a mage." Link walked around the house, probably using spells to clean it, and the whole room was as tidy as new. It seemed to be a dormitory made of two people, with two beds against the wall, and even the desk and chair were separated.
