Krum City.

The most remote and tallest old house in the main city.

This temporary old house, which was used as a "sacrifice hall", was originally inconspicuous. In normal times, only Elu came and lived there, and the residents in the city didn't have much respect for it.

However, there was something a little unusual today.

Soon after the fire was extinguished at night, this "sacrificial hall" became a taboo-like existence in the eyes of the elves.

Luojia sent people to order people not to approach or disturb the people, but this could not stop the residents from watching from a distance outside the cordon.

"Why are you raising the line of defense? What happened to the sacrificial hall?"

Ask questions if you have an unclear situation.

At this time, the surrounding residents would explain everything about last night in a low voice. While talking, they would secretly glance at the house with a complex expression of fear and awe.

The news about the evil god finally spread.

The high priest of the sacrificial hall held a summoning ceremony, and accidentally communicated with a mysterious being. The other party couldn't bear to witness the elves exterminating the clan, so he came to help and destroyed the enemy with magic vines and flames.

This is the version of the story that has been circulated.

Of course, out of respect for this mysterious being who saved Krum, the more standard name is "Unknown God". As for evil or not... at least to them, Cheng Lin is definitely not evil.

However, due to the way he appeared and some problems with his magic style, although the residents admired him, they still subconsciously feared him.

…

"Fear is not a bad thing, only fear can lead to respect."

Luojia saw this scene and whispered to the priests beside him.

At this moment, he was wearing a solemn, complicated and gorgeous service, leading a group of high-ranking priests from Krum City, walking towards the sacrificial hall.

The night has passed, and the sun has risen for the next day. The whole city is shining brightly in the twilight, and even the wind has become much lighter.

The city of Krum that survived the disaster was filled with a sense of lightness, and the residents were all joyful.

Along the way, the residents and soldiers nearby saluted him. Luojia kept walking, and all he could see was the lonely building.

When he finally reached the door of the building, he saw Margaret guarding the door.

"That one...is he awake?"

Luojia asked in a low voice.

In fact, ever since Cheng Lin defeated the enemy last night and returned to the sacrificial hall in full public view, Luo Jia wanted to visit him and had too many things to say.

As an insider, Ai Lu was quickly called over to understand the situation. Then, Luo Jia asked Ai Lu to be a "mouthpiece" to express his wish to meet Cheng Lin.

However, he was rejected by Cheng Lin: I'm tired and we'll talk about it tomorrow if I have something to do.

Although he was rejected, Lorgar was not depressed. It just so happened that there were too many things for him to deal with in Krum City after the war. Lorgar was busy all night, and finally settled down reluctantly. Then he took a bath and changed clothes, and put on the appropriate clothes.

Dressed up according to his identity, he came to visit me again.

Margaret, who was standing at the door, glanced at her marshal, nodded, opened the door, and said, "That one... doesn't like too much noise."

Luojia was startled, then turned around and said to the priests behind him: "You guys wait here."

"yes."

Turning back, Luojia let out a breath that was imperceptible, hesitantly raised his right hand, and was about to knock on the door.

Just when his finger joints were about to clasp on the brown-black wooden door leaf, a faint voice came from inside: "Come in."

The temporary Elf King pursed his lips, put down his hand, and pushed open the wooden door.

With a slight creaking sound, the two doors slowly opened. The door faced the east. The rising sunlight spread like water from behind Luojia. A bright fan-shaped spot appeared on the floor and slowly expanded.

The scene inside gradually appeared in Luo Jia's eyes.

The empty hall looked a little dark. Five of the six arched windows on both sides were covered with dark red curtains, and only one was open.

The breeze blowing fluttered the hem of the curtains. The ancient altar in the middle did not meet the standards for worshiping gods. But at this moment, it did not seem to exist as an altar, but more like a table.

There were several strange colorful things placed under the corner of the table, which looked like packaging shells of some kind of items. Lorja's nose twitched, and he smelled some strange smell in the air.

It seems to be some kind of food, but very unfamiliar.

The powerful and mysterious god was sitting on a large solid wood chair on the left side of the altar, lying slightly backwards, holding several strange colorful objects in his hands, and a white mask covering his true appearance.

On the right side of the altar, there was also a chair. The great priest Ellu, who was wearing a moon-white robe, was sitting there with an awkward look on his face. He also held something in his hand, but it was much less.

She looked at Cheng Lin and Luo Jia. She wanted to stand up but didn't dare. She just sat half-assed on the chair, looking a little anxious.

"Play your cards." Cheng Lin urged.

Elu bit her lip, with a look of apprehension on her face. She reluctantly pinched out two playing cards and placed them on the altar. She said weakly: "Two against three."

Cheng Lin grinned: "I can't afford it."

"Your Majesty, it's gone."

"..."

Cheng Lin was silent for a moment, threw a 9-card dragon on the table in frustration, and began to doubt life.

Maybe he was too pretentious last night and ran out of luck, so he played two rounds of poker. Except for the first time when Elu didn't understand the rules, he won three games, and then he kept losing.

If the opponent was not a beautiful elf girl, Cheng Lin would have picked up the silver moon cane and greeted the opponent on the head.

Sighed.

After saying "No more playing", Cheng Lin turned to look at Luo Jia and said casually: "There is a chair over there, sit down, you are tired after a long night of work, aren't you?"

Perhaps he didn't expect this mysterious "evil god" to be so... easy-going. Even Luojia, who had the title of "Great Elf", couldn't help but be startled, and then shook his head and said: "No..."

"Forget it, I'm just being polite to you." Cheng Lin smiled.

Luojia: "..."

With a slight cough, Cheng Lin restrained himself. After all, the other party was the Elf King. Dressing in such a grand manner to pay him a visit could be regarded as a meeting between the two heads of state on the news broadcast, right? He couldn't be too relaxed.

Be serious, be serious.

he said to himself.

"After fighting for so long, even the great elf would be tired. It's understandable. Elu should have already told you about my matter, so I won't go on about it anymore." Cheng Lin sat in the chair with his left hand

Put it on your knees, play with the silver moon cane in your right hand, and say in a leisurely tone.

Luojia said seriously: "Although I don't know where you are from, you took action to save Krum. On behalf of the entire Krum City and the entire elves, I thank you for your kindness..."

"You're welcome," Cheng Lin thought. It was the deduction program that saved you. No, to be precise, it was also the one that brought you disaster. So there really is nothing to thank you for. After a pause, he continued, "I don't

You care too much about these etiquette things, and besides... the crisis of the elves has not been resolved, right?"

After he finished speaking, the taciturn and gorgeous elf suddenly made a move to kneel down. Cheng Lin had no choice but to stop him: "If you have anything to say, just say it. I don't like these etiquettes."

"Yes," Lorgar responded, with a heavy and sincere look on his handsome and majestic face, "Most of the enemies have been eliminated, and the city of Krum has temporarily escaped destruction, but this is only a delay.

Some days.

Erosion is slowly approaching.

Although it is still far away from here.

But according to our experience, in a few months, or at the latest half a year, the erosion will spread to Krum.

It is an invisible enemy that neither sword nor magic can resist.

At that time, we will still die!"

"Although I don't know why you helped us stop the enemy, I also know that such a request is very rude, but... we have no other way. Our clan is willing to pay any price to ask you to stop the erosion!"

Luojia's voice was desolate. This marshal, who had always been very calm in front of his people, only now revealed his powerlessness.

Even the Great Elves, with their extraordinary combat power, still cannot stop the erosion.

Although Krum temporarily escaped death, the silent death will still come a few months later.

…

silence.

Silence filled the entire hall.

After Luojia said this, he lowered his head, as if waiting for his fate to be pronounced.

Ellu, who was sitting by the altar, stood up nervously and looked at the figure on the other side with an expectant gaze.

There was silence for a while.

Just when Luojia was about to despair.

The figure wearing a white mask suddenly said softly: "Okay."

"What?"

Luojia suddenly raised his head.

Because the "Okay" was too soft, he suspected that he heard it wrong.

Cheng Lin could only repeat it once more: "I said... okay."

There was a rush of blood on Luojia's face, which was a sign of excitement: "You mean... you are willing to help us stop the erosion?"

"Not blocking."

Cheng Lin raised a finger and denied this statement.

Then, he seemed to sigh softly, "The correct term is...purification."

Among the tasks given by the system, rescuing Krum is only a side task, and the main task of this plot is: purification

"The World Tree has undergone changes, and erosion has occurred because of it. Therefore, simply blocking erosion is not a good medicine. If you want to truly solve the problem, there is only one way, and that is...purify the World Tree!"
