Chapter 3 God's Parable
With the help of two elves guardian warriors, Rogge finally returned to the Oracle City.
The magnificent temple of the Gods has turned into ruins, and the temple and the Elders' House are in a mess, but most of the buildings are still intact. The resurrected Gods' House was supported into the Elders' House in a fear, suspicion and awe of countless elves.
Roger collapsed on the chair, and his irresistible fatigue almost made him fall asleep. But he knew that it was not the time to sleep, and there was too much aftermath to deal with. Elfs are a race with distinct love and hate, and they are also an extremely naive race. They will not give up their faith just because you saved their lives.
Although Roger's mental power is powerful, his magic power is not very good. He has far overdrawn his magic power by casting the "Flesh and Blood Extraction" twice in a row. If he hadn't recalled the erosion in the world of death, and had the large amount of death breath left by Heinrich, the extremely terrifying magic of "Flesh and Blood Extraction" that he would not have released it once.
Thinking of Heinrich, Roger couldn't help but feel proud. On the way back to this world, he was locked by Heinrich, the ninth knight of one of the seven monarchs! The deceased king was reluctant to part with his pursuit, and although Roger kept running between countless planes, it was still chasing him closely.
However, Roger's experience of entering and leaving the different space far exceeds Heinrich, who had never left the other world. He rushed back to his own world like he escaped into other planes, and then rushed to other spaces. Halfway through the way, the soul body suddenly stopped, and only used his mental power to condense into a bait, breaking through the space and leaving. Heinrich followed the bait to the sky without even thinking about it. When it understood, it had already broken through the space and could no longer hold it back.
So amid Rogue's ridicule and scolding, the king of the dead world, Heinrich, the great ninth knight, had to begin its journey of searching for a return in countless spaces.
Roger chuckled proudly. There was one missing from the Seven Kings. It might not be that easy to seal Feng Yue? What's more, Feng Yue's cunning and ruthlessness in the battle was far beyond his own!
The two guardian warriors were frightened by Roger's gloomy laughter. Since Roger used such a large-scale illusion and "Flesh and Blood Removal", all the elves subconsciously stayed away from Roger.
Roger suddenly realized something and asked, "The dark side of the moon has been transferred back to the Oracle City? Where is Ajani, why didn't she see her?"
These two guardian warriors are Ajani's friends and have followed Rog since the establishment of the "Dark Side of Moon". It has become an instinct for them to follow Rog's orders. Although Rog's cast the most evil necromancer magic, they still do not want to stay away from Rog like other elf warriors. In fact, it has become an instinct for all elf warriors to follow Rog's "Dark Side of Moon".
A guardian warrior hesitated for a long time and finally said, "Sir God, Ajiani died in battle to save you that day..."
"What!" Roger suddenly stood up!
"Sir, don't worry. I thought Ajiani was dead, but suddenly a warrior in black armor appeared. She defeated the killer and saved Ajiani with the blood on her wings. I have a strange feeling that she is not a person in our world."
Roger nodded. He knew it was Feng Yue as soon as he heard the description of the elf. It seemed that a lot of things happened when he died, so he had to ask carefully when he turned around.
"Where is the Ajani?"
"Sir... the priests of the temple said that Ajani was resurrected with unclean blood, all of which were the spokesperson of the demon. Now... she was locked in the dungeon under the temple..." As she said, her eyes became red involuntarily. The five guardian warriors who followed Roger together have always been the best close friends, with deep feelings and are beyond the same as others.
"Bang!" Roger was furious and slapped the chair to pieces!
"This slut Zhao Ye! Before I could settle the score with her, she actually reached over to my head! You go to the temple immediately and say it was me, and you should ask Ajiani back immediately!"
The guardian samurai hesitated a little, but he still took the order.
Roger said to another guardian bushi: "You go find someone and invite Elder Sius to come over. I have something to discuss with him. I know he is injured, but I have to carry him over! After doing this, tell me what happened during this period!"
The more he listened, the calmer Roger felt. In recent times, every time he decided to kill his opponent, he became extremely calm, as if human feelings had nothing to do with him anymore.
Originally, the priests of the temple had completely suppressed the Presbyterian Church. When Rogue's death came, they took over the command of the "Dark Side of the Moon".
Soon afterwards, Zhao Ye called on all the elves to restore the ancient traditions of the elves. She believed that only elves who followed the tradition were real elves. The "Dark Side of the Moon" was stained with too much blood in his hands and was loyal to Roger, so he became the target of exclusion in the temple.
The existence of elves hunters cannot be allowed around the Elf City. In the past, Rogge was there, and all elves were forced to stay in the Oracle City and not to provoke adventurers wandering all over the mountains. Not only that, the fat man also took out a lot of wealth accumulated by the elves over the years and arranged them in the so-called "Tomb of the Undead". Several groups of adventurers have returned with a thousand-year collection of elves. This fact made the arrogant elves extremely uncomfortable, so when Zhao Ye ordered the elves to attack and hunt adventurers, the Oracle City immediately cheered and thundered.
In just a few days, hundreds of adventurers have been sleeping in the central mountains forever. The combat effectiveness of the "Dark Side of the Moon" led by Rumsfield in the mountains and forests can be described as horror.
The Feng Butterfly, which has rejuvenated its vitality, is becoming more and more thrilling.
However, there are also experienced people among the adventurers. They secretly followed the elves' troops and finally discovered the location of the Oracle City.
These adventurers quietly left the Central Mountains.
The dark side of the moon on the blockade line had already withdrawn from the Oracle City, and the seriously injured Feng Yue had no time to care about the elves. With the connection between the soul, Feng Yue quickly learned that Rogge's soul had actually come to his own world and locked his position. Since then, Feng Yue has begun to prepare for the war with the Lich Elgra.
In this way, the information about Elf City was sold for an astonishing price of ten thousand gold coins.
Countless adventurers flocked to the scene, and the three neighboring principalities also joined forces to put pressure on Carlos, forcing him to agree that the 10,000 troops of the Three Kingdoms would enter the Central Mountains to search for elves through the territory of Alay. In order to appease the people in the country, at Carlos' request, the 10,000 troops led by Duke Annas quietly drove into the Central Mountains without entering any city. Duke Annas also recruited a large number of adventurers along the way, promising various benefits such as sharing the spoils.
In fact, in the Duke's heart, he was quite afraid of the terrifying combat power of the Elves Guard of the Great Magician Rogge. He was preparing to let these adventurers act as cannon fodder to reduce the casualties of his elite troops.
In this way, when the army entered the Central Mountains, it had become an army of 20,000 people due to the gathering of adventurers along the way.
The elves soon realized that something was wrong. The Dark Side of the Moon started a fierce guerrilla war with Annas' army. In the mountains and forests, Annas's troops could not capture the Dark Side of the Moon and fought against him. Although the Dark Side of the Moon caused major casualties to Annas' troops, he was also an old fox. Annas firmly believed in the ancient wisdom of "hitting a wolf's nest, there was no need to worry about not being able to fight the wolf", and unswervingly marched towards the Oracle City.
Finally, in the forest outside the Oracle City, Rumsfield had to fight Annas. After a fierce battle, the elves were outnumbered. With more than half of the casualties of the "Dark Side of the Moon", they had to retreat into Oracle City and make their final struggle.
Annas's troops had more than 4,000 casualties, but there were still nearly 20,000 soldiers, who were not injured or moved. When facing the city of Oracle, Annas was not in a hurry, although the greedy flames in his heart were hotter than anyone else!
He slowly set up camp, scout, blockade, and asked Rapas and his disciples to prepare for the large magic of siege.
Annas was not in a hurry, but the adventurers were already impatient. They didn't take the authority of Duke Annas seriously. They were tempted first, and many adventurers began to spontaneously organize to attack the city first.
After all, the city of oracle, which is as beautiful as a dream, is surprisingly thin in defense.
This was exactly what Annas thought, and the adventurers took the lead and matched his intentions. When the elves in the city were dragged to death and the power to defend the city was almost exhausted, he planned to decide on a battle. After all, the siege depends on regular troops, and a scattered adventurer has no other value than being cannon fodder.
The decisive battle has finally begun.
After Rapas casts the "Thunder Prison Cloud", all changes begin to break out of Annas' control.
When there were more and more adventurers in Dresden, Frey knew that something was wrong. He immediately took the fat man's "corpse" and quietly ran to the city of Oracle. The fat man died, but at least he was a divine envoy during his lifetime, so Zhao Ye still gave his body the respect he deserved.
When he heard this, Roger suddenly thought, if Zhao Ye knew that he had a day to resurrect, would he just burn his body?
Roger pondered for a moment, and suddenly asked the elves guardians beside him: "You also see that I just cast the necromancer magic. Aren't you afraid?"
The guardian warrior was stunned for a moment, not knowing how to answer for a moment, how could she not be afraid? But it seemed that it was not appropriate to say it.
At this moment, the old voice of Seus came from outside the door: "Even I am afraid of such a terrible magic of 'Flesh and Blood'."
Accompanied by the voice, Sius walked in with the help of a guardian warrior. At Sius's instructions, the two guardian warriors left the house and were ordered not to let anyone in.
"Elder Seus, I can use the 'Flesh and Blood Extraction'. It is obviously very close to the evil spirits. Do you have any ideas?" Roger asked calmly.
Elder Seus smiled slightly and said, "Whether you use the necromancer or the dark magic, you even become a demon in front of me. I only know that without your resurrection, the Oracle City will definitely not survive today. In fact, today I have confirmed my thoughts even more. You are the messenger chosen by Hilo."
Rogge was silent.
Seus asked again: "Sir God's Envoy, the elves in front of him have encountered a real crisis. How do you think we should get through this level?"
Roger asked back, "Elder Sius, with your wisdom, there is no way to deal with such a situation!"
Seus, who was seriously injured, still maintained an elegant demeanor and perfect sitting posture. He seemed not anxious about the situation of the elves. He slowly said: "If you want to get rid of a vine growing on a big tree, it is useless to cut off its branches and leaves. The best way is to directly cut off its roots in the soil. Lord Rogge, all the disasters in the Elf City currently have their roots. In my opinion, it is time to solve these roots."
Roger became interested and tentatively said, "Elder Sius, you have never given me such a explicit hint! Is this not in conflict with your belief? The way to restore the temple to traditionally win the hearts of the elves!"
"My God Envoy, the practice of the temple cannot be said to be wrong. Elfs who have lost their glorious traditions can no longer be called elves. Tens of thousands of years ago, because of the differences in faith and concepts, Lunacles, one of the great elf kings, led an elf tribe to leave the sacred forest to find a new truth for the elves. During the long journey, the great elf king did not resist the temptation of darkness and threw himself into the arms of the evil gods, and eventually evolved into the dark elves in the abyss clan today. I think this is exactly what the priests of the temple are concerned about."
Roger relaxed his whole body, but his mental power was secretly circulating.
"Elder Seus, part of the power I use is also derived from the power of darkness, or even the undead. Aren't you afraid that these more than 10,000 elves will become another dark elves under my guidance?"
The old and slim Sius saw Rogge's vigilance and smiled and said, "The demon has sharp minions, and the hunter also has sharp swords. The power itself is not wrong. For example, I have also hid in the dark for hundreds of years and hunted countless lives. Although most of the power you use comes from darkness, you are not a believer of the evil god. During this period, I have been thinking about this matter. Only when you are temporarily away, I truly realized the great wisdom of Hilo and the mystery of destiny. Only those like you who are not afraid of walking in darkness can guide the elves out of the predicament."
Roger moved for a moment, his body relaxed significantly, but his mental power was still slowly increasing: "Elder Seus, it will take you a few minutes to deal with the temple's priests who do not know martial arts or attack magic. Why do you have to do this?"
Seus asked without answering, "My God Messenger, the three sacrificial theories in the temple are not as powerful as any elder in the Presbyterian Church. Why do they easily take away the authority of the Presbyterian Church?"
Roger thought for a while and said slowly: "They represent Hilo, the most orthodox beliefs of the elves. It is indeed impossible for the Presbyterians who hold daily secular power to compete with."
"It is precisely this, Lord God. But you also represent Hilo, the most orthodox belief of the elves. Only you can truly replace the status of the temple and suppress the priests. In the dark world, my assassination still follows the pattern of light. As a killer, I can easily kill several priests, but this assassination can only erase their physical existence and cannot reverse the influence they exert on the elves. The persistence of tradition comes from faith, and the abandonment of tradition can only come from faith. This is why I did not take action and must wait for you to come back."
Shiss paused and said meaningfully: "The root of that sinful vine is not in the temple, but in the hearts of the elves."
Rog said: "Elder Sius, if I did not bring the elves to the north, you would not have encountered such a heavy crisis. Perhaps staying in the central mountains and the green sea would be a good thing for the elves. After all, there, the elves can live happily in the entire tradition. The city of Oracle may not be a holy place for the elves."
"On the contrary, the harsh northern country is the real holy land of the elves. The tradition of the elves was formed in the brilliant civilization thousands of years ago, and was a tradition that fully exerted the peaceful nature of the elves and their delicate feelings for beauty. However, the environment facing the elves is no longer the golden age thousands of years ago. Tradition, as the mark of the glory of the past, is more like a pair of shackles locked on the hands of the elves. Only in this harsh environment can the elves have hope of rising again. Towering ancient trees never grow in the greenhouse."
Roger suddenly smiled and said, "Elder Seus, I should be glad you are not my enemy. Have you known for a long time that there is a part of my power that originates from the darkness?"
Xius smiled, and the elf elder who was originally full of elegant and transcendent aura suddenly became extremely treacherous and slick: "I knew it from the first time I saw you. The killer walking in the dark is extremely sensitive to the aura of darkness."
"Then why do you still believe that I am Hilo's messenger?" Rogue couldn't help but become curious.
"You are of course the envoy of the elves. Because the oracles of our tribe say: the envoy of the gods will step out of the darkness, and use evil wisdom to guide the elves to the holy land of life by relying on the power of death."
Roger jumped up, "How is that possible! Why isn't the oracle I saw like this?"
