Chapter 2 Old friend?
"The core of Crystal City is a huge magic crystal. This crystal maintains the life of the entire city like a heart. We elves call this crystal the Star of Creation."
"It is a magical miracle that can be said to be handed down from generation to generation. It was accidentally created by the elves during experiments. It is said that the elves cannot reproduce a second such miraculous creation!"
"It can be said to be the safest place to live in the world. Even many homeless people live following this crystal..."
Ken silently listened to Lake's passionate explanation and nodded appropriately.
What Lake said was solid ancient secrets for both him and Julia, and it was indeed an eye-opener.
However, Ken always felt that the description of this crystal city seemed a bit familiar.
This crystal city sounds like a super upgraded version of the elven version of Restoration City...
Ken asked curiously: "Then if someone seizes the right to use the Star of Creation, won't the entire Crystal City fall into the control of others?"
"The hypothesis you mentioned is indeed possible, but it is meaningless to Crystal City~"
Ms. Lake snorted, as if she had known that Ken was going to ask this question.
"Crystal City itself is not important! Only the Star of Creation is important!"
From her playful and pleasant tone of voice, Ken could even vaguely feel the victorious smile on her little face wrapped in rags.
"Because as long as you master the Star of Creation, you can construct a new crystal city in the blink of an eye! And mastering the crystal city can only master the people in the city!
Now that we can master the Star of Creation, who cares about the Crystal City itself? This kind of thinking is putting the cart before the horse. After all, "villains" like us are meaningless to elves or other gods.
If our ancestors have spirits, are lucky, and can become warlocks, serving the great elves is the best destination for us "little people"... So if you can let me guide you to the crystallized city of elves, that's a waste of time.
God’s luck~”
"So [Miss Lake]." Julia, who had been silent, interrupted Ms. Lake.
"If Crystal City is so good, why are you sleeping on the roadside with this carriage and not pursuing luck?"
Julia's eyes slowly opened, and her eyes shone with a dark purple light, reflecting the figure of the mysterious Ms. Lake.
Julia has always been wary of this mysterious Ms. Lake.
She is too mysterious, too strong, and too coincidental.
Even Julia, a demigod, could not see the true identity of this blond girl with her head wrapped in rags using the [Eye of Truth] that the Knox giant was proud of.
Whether it is a "girl" or not has to be questioned.
Julia doubted she could even see past the dirty rags covering Ms. Lake's face.
Because in her eyes at this moment, the other person is an ordinary blond girl with a layer of rags wrapped around her face.
How can an ordinary girl drive a carriage and lead the way in a lifeless forest with a thick layer of rags on her face?
This means that Julia's power was cracked by the opponent without any trace.
This means that Julia's divine power, which is Amy's [rules] she borrowed, is under Ms. Lake's.
The demigods that Julia knew could not do this, and even the former Knox priest could not do this.
Although there is no need to point out the other person's bad taste, Julia never likes the feeling of being played by others.
Ms. Lake chuckled twice. She seemed not to care about the other implications of Julia's words: "Ah, after all, I am a traveler. We travelers can't find a safe place to live. Although the elves
I quite like the taste~”
Without further interruption, Ms. Lake continued her duties as a tour guide:
"The elf in charge of the Creation Star is the god of poetry and miracles. Her name is Doris Greenshade. She is also the guardian of the Crystal City. It is said that she is also a unique great achiever among the elves.
He is a maverick and once refused an award from the Elf Queen."
"?"
who?
A figure with long blond hair flashed in Ken's mind. He suddenly turned his head and stared at Ms. Lake and asked seriously: "Have you seen this Doris?"
"No, no one in the entire Crystal City has seen her. According to rumors, she has been living in seclusion in a corner of Crystal City. Every elf you see may be her disguise~"
As Ms. Lake told the story, the image of the blond elf became clearer and clearer in Ken's mind.
Maybe all the elves seen in the city are not her...
Ken and Julia looked at each other, and Julia nodded slightly.
Apparently they had the same elf in mind.
The high elf who actually saved Julia's life during the riots in Restoration City!
I didn’t expect to meet an acquaintance so soon!
But are they really acquaintances?
People who originally existed in this era have restored their own identities.
Ruixi who became a village girl.
A fearful elf who became a god.
The identity of the childhood sweetheart and half-elf gradually becomes blurred, and then seems to become real.
Ms. Lake also noticed the reaction of the two people and asked with interest: "It seems that you are thinking of some acquaintance. Is it possible that you have had some interaction with the God of Poetry and Miracles?"
"I just thought of an old friend." Ken answered vaguely.
Julia, who was leaning next to Ken, thought of something: "The God of Poetry and Miracles is the God who blesses poets. It is said that He is the protector of poets. He likes to see challengers to the impossible.
And gave them miraculous blessings, which is also the origin of the title of poet and miracle."
Julia's beautiful eyes narrowed slightly.
The God of Poetry and Miracles has not degenerated into an evil god. Like other elven gods, he has not been affected by [Ifmet] and has always existed in the present world.
But her real name is definitely not [Doris Green Shade]!
"The God of Poetry and Miracles is indeed the patron saint of poets. She created the first poetry, but the origin of miracles is not a challenge to the impossible."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Ms. Lake added tirelessly: "It is because poets can pray to her and use poetry to achieve various miracles, so her god's name is poetry.
With the God of Miracles!”
Ken listened to the conversation between the two.
Since Julia mentioned it, she was probably referring to the divine power possessed by the modern God of Poetry and Miracles.
What Ms. Lake mentioned was the divine power possessed by Doris in this era, and the priesthood she mentioned seemed to be missing something important...
According to common sense, [gods cannot enter the main plane], so modern Doris lost her throne.
Doris lost her throne.
The God of poetry and miracles has lost [challenges of the impossible and bestows miraculous blessings on them].
But Ifmet, whom Ken "believes" in, has such preferences and has blessed Ken many times.
Putting all these together, is it a coincidence?
Ken was thinking when he suddenly felt his body tilt - the carriage suddenly stopped suddenly, and the horse and carriage suddenly stopped in place as if they were one body.
Ms. Lake, who was enjoying playing the role of tour guide, seemed to have noticed something. She let out a confused sigh, turned around and got out of the carriage.
After a while, when she got on the carriage, Ken and Julia saw her holding a dim yellow gem and stepping onto the carriage in the dust.
"This is?"
Ken suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart.
"This is the star of creation. I saw it in my early years...it didn't look like this at that time."
There was no playfulness in Ms. Lake's words, and her head wrapped in rags tilted slightly, as if she was carefully observing the dim yellow gem in her hand.
