Chapter 305 305. "Arrow of Destiny", trade permission between the two races
"The fight started."
Croya, who was observing the magical collision between the laurel flower sea and the moon sea from a distance, thought for a moment, took out his notebook, and started recording in it.
Thanks to the magic sensing devices arranged at the border, he recorded all the magic readings and fluctuations transmitted by the collision between the God of the Moon and the Sea and the ancestor of the Orpheus family, Daphne.
He really had no idea of stopping it - because the guards belonging to the Church of the Seven Gods nearby had already stepped forward to stop him, and were hit by the falling laurel flowers and moonlight from the sky.
I don’t know if it’s an illusion, but it seems that the guards of the Holy See of Light were beaten the most severely, and a few were even directly smashed to death...
"It always feels like there is some personal grudge involved."
Although the battlefield in the distance looked fierce, the land below was not affected, and the trains passing through the border were still running normally.
Croya hesitated and called Treden:
"Is there some grudge between Lady Daphne of the Orpheus family and the God of the Sea and the Moon?"
Treden knew what Croya meant by calling him, and explained: "You should know that the authority of the ocean and the moon actually belongs to a god.
Even the imaginary authority that we mermaids have is owned by the same god.
The big green tree of False God that you saw back then was composed of three authorities and higher authorities. This is why that big tree can spread endless gifts and gospel.
Uh...this is what I learned when I was just one month old, don't you know? ”
"..." Croya was silent.
Thank you, actually I really don’t know.
Judging from Trayden's appearance, you can tell that this matter is probably the basic common sense of the mermaid tribe. In the mermaid tribe's society and inheritance system, there is indeed knowledge that is very different from the human race.
Although these neighbors in the deep sea stay in the bubble that can satisfy their fantasies every day, their education has not fallen behind, and they are even assessed by the Deep Sea Council.
The congressman went to examine the underage fish in person... When Cloya saw this scene, she almost thought there was something wrong with her eyes.
But I didn’t expect that this kind of knowledge involving gods is also basic knowledge?
‘Should I ask for some basic textbooks on the mermaid tribe? I forgot to ask for them before, but now it seems there are some things in them that I don’t understand. ’ Croya thought thoughtfully.
"Go on." He waved to Treyden.
"It is said that the ancestor of the Orpheus family, Ms. Daphne, once obtained something from our gods..." Treyden thought for a moment: "It is a branch of the Tree of the Void God."
< br>
"Because a vital branch is missing, an ability is missing."
The prince of the mermaid tribe scratched his sea-blue hair and muttered: "Our sacred tree has been broken off by several gods. You have broken off two branches..."
In fact, it was three branches - the first one I got, and then two more branches were obtained one after another over the years. It is not very important.
"Ahem." Croya coughed awkwardly and immediately changed the subject: "But I heard the goddess said that it was Daphne who caused the mermaids to become like this. What does it look like?"
Trayden seemed to have woken up from a big dream, "The construction of the dream bubble was actually helped by Ms. Daphne, with the light in the starry sky as an anchor.
But the goddess seemed very angry and felt that it was embarrassing for us to indulge in the illusion of dreams every day..."
Croya: "???"
He couldn't understand Treden's words for a while - did this mean that the goddess of the sea and moon felt that squatting in your house was not good, so she hated Daphne who built your house?
"Why does it feel like I am expressing my anger?"
"Haha...uh."
Treyden smiled awkwardly.
While the two were discussing, the battle in the distance had already decided the winner.
The goddess and the ancestors of the Ophis family seemed to be just fighting each other, without any intention of truly deciding the outcome.
Yuehai in the sky left with satisfaction after demolishing half of the luxurious palace. The remaining half of the palace was escorted by the remaining guards of the Seven Gods Church and finally entered the north.
The moment they entered the northern border, the guards left immediately, as if they had finally left a big trouble behind - some people wanted to take the opportunity to come in, but those who came in were drowned by the moon sea.
Obviously the goddess didn't want them to enter the north, so they ran away immediately.
Only the half-dismantled palace was left standing alone at the entry point to the north.
Seeing this, Croya said, "It's finally over."
His voice instantly passed through the entire northern border and landed next to the palace: "Guests from the elves, please don't be afraid."
"I will take you to the place where the guests are entertained."
Along with his voice, a ring-shaped space magic array suddenly appeared below the palace. The simple ring magic circle wrapped the entire palace inside.
The next second, the entire palace disappeared.
Appeared in the flowery archipelago that he had prepared specifically for receiving elf guests.
Treydon's eyes widened immediately: "When did your space magic become so powerful?"
It was an elven floating palace, with a personality equal to that of a floating city. It contained extremely complex magic veins. Such a complex magic structure meant that the stability requirements for space would also increase.
"Calm down."
Croya raised his hand and touched Treden's head. How old was this guy? He was actually over 1.8 meters tall... Is the bloodline of the mermaid clan so exaggerated?
If he continues to grow taller, he will probably have to stand on tiptoes.
Treyden showed a pure smile and bowed his head obediently.
"..."
Croya, who felt a little strange in his heart, patted Treden's silky hair and said, "Study hard, the courses I arrange for you are all helpful to you, if nothing happens, just follow the Grass of Spiritual Wisdom to take risks! ”
After preaching like this for a few words, he stood up slightly with his left foot and touched the ground lightly, and the spatial magic patterns like water waves began to flicker.
In the blink of an eye, they also arrived at the Flower Islands.
Among the colorful flowers, the gate of the half-demolished palace has been opened, and an elf is carrying a small tree about a person's height and walking out tremblingly.
"Ancestor Daphne, you are so heavy."
"..."
This scene happened to be seen by Croya and Treden who suddenly appeared. The former was quite good at cultivating qi, while the latter burst out laughing.
The elf who was carrying the laurel tree in the distance suddenly let out a wail and was sent flying far away by a branch.
Then, a figure appeared on the trunk of the laurel tree.
She was an extremely beautiful lady. Even among the beautiful men and women Croya had seen, none of them could match her.
She held her hands in front of her and behaved dignifiedly.
Her long, loose golden hair, skin as white as jade, and dazzling eyes—just looking at her made Croya feel his heartbeat speed up.
The light inside his Phoebus robe shone brightly.
A voice emerged quietly——
"But I will love you forever, and I will make a laurel wreath of your leaves, my harp of your wood, and my bow with your flowers.
At the same time, I want to give you eternal youth and never grow old. ”
It was still that magnetic and affectionate voice. After it appeared, it blew through the branches of the laurel tree like a breeze, and then completely dissipated, leaving no traces.
Chloe's heart moved: "Ms. Daphne?"
"Ah..." Daphne replied as if she had just woken up from a dream: "Nothing, I just know where He is."
Her tone was very light, like the wind that had just dissipated.
It turned out that she had been looking forward to it for so long and was no longer at the same time as Him.
It turns out that this blessing of never growing old is because of this.
Icarus, who got up on the side, looked at his ancestor nervously, fearing that she would do something if she couldn't think of it. After all, the love brain of the entire Orpheus family was passed down from their ancestors.
Even if you are hit by God's lead arrow, the shadow of love will remain. You can imagine how hot this love is.
"Where is He?" Croya was very curious, "The robe I am wearing should be Apo..."
Before the name was about to be spoken, Daphne stretched out her hand and shook her head at Croya: "Please don't say his name. The rebellious disciple does not want to hear the name of his mentor. Especially when he is still enjoying the meal. 'Food' stolen by oneself."
Croya looked up at the sunlight falling on the ground and blinked: "Ms. Daphne, do you really think His eyes can see here?"
It was only then that Daphne suddenly felt that the sunlight falling all around, the ripples on the sea, and even the droplets floating in the sunlight in the distance had all been under the control of some kind of consciousness.
Together they form a grand and harmonious sound.
Even the sunlight falling from the sky has to be baptized by music before it can fall to the sea and nourish the vegetation.
It turns out...
This is already this mage's "god's kingdom".
Yes, since it has something to do with the movement of the sun, why would Croa let that false light shine like this?
Although the idea of the Kingdom of God may not be appropriate, Daphne had this idea in her mind, just like her former friend...
"Master Croya, that bracelet on your hand?" Daphne suddenly noticed it and said in surprise: "Is it willing to treat you as its master?"
Croya looked down.
Ivy Bracelet, who had been silent, replied: "Long time no see, daughter of the river god."
Unexpectedly, Daphne lowered her head slightly and showed respect to Ivy: "Yes, Lord Ivy, you still maintain your youth, and you are even more special than the gift I received."
The ivy shook its leaves: "I need one thing from you, the musical magic that He once taught you. You will definitely give it to me, right."
"..."
Daphne breathed out softly, "Yes, I will give it to you."
Her phantom reached out to her body, broke off one of the most special branches, and then turned it into a small golden bow.
At first glance, it looks almost the same as the golden bow that Croya wore when he put on the Apollo shirt.
"This is the arrow of destiny in 'The Stars Chapter'."
"I leave my memory to you, hoping only to get the chance to take root in the sun."
Before she finished speaking, Icarus next to her couldn't help but stop her: "Ancestor, that is the only chapter of the twelve constellations we have left."
The next second, Icarus was glanced at by Daphne.
His body immediately began to grow branches, his hair turned into vines, and green leaves appeared on his fair skin - it seemed that he was about to turn into a tree.
"It seems that Beorel gave you the courage." Daphne's voice was no longer as gentle as before: "You even dare to interfere with the ancestors' decisions. You are the trees I planted, and you will return to the form of trees."< br>
Keenly noticing the name "Beoriel", Croya's eyes instantly became sharp. Wasn't that the elf who planned the Yavanna Sacred Mine incident?
So, this is Beorel's lackey?
What does it seem to be called...
"Icarus, right." Croya said: "He killed my oak tree friend. Even if he is an accessory, it is a huge crime."
The bright sunshine was tainted with haze at this moment, and even the sound of the wind was stagnant, but the sound of music became more and more obvious, as if it was filling every magical element.
The small tree burned with flames, bright and beating orange flames. This flame would not affect his body, but would directly act on his soul, making the pain intensify.
Daphne didn't stop her. The reason why she brought Icarus here was to let Croa vent her anger. Death is never the end for elves anyway.
But if you haven’t even died, how can you talk about atonement?
So she watched the trees that Icarus turned into gradually turn into ashes in the flames, and then finally spoke out to stop him: "Just keep him, I will take him with me, and I will not let him do it again." What happened?”
"Hmph." Croya snorted and took back his magic power.
No warning or anything.
After dealing with Icarus, she sent the small golden bow to Croya. The golden bow was engraved with magical lines and words.
That is the special music magic "Arrow of Destiny" belonging to Sagittarius.
As long as the arrow is shot, it will definitely hit as long as it is still illuminated by the starlight.
Moreover, its most important function is...
"Constellation." The moment Croya held the golden bow, he felt that there was a form of starlight in the form of a centaur and half horse in the distant star realm.
It is continuously emitting special music towards the entire star realm.
But before Croya was about to sense its magic power, he suddenly felt a trance, and then the contact was directly interrupted.
Because...
This magic actually requires extremely high attainments in prophetic magic!
Without prophetic magic, it cannot be used.
Croya suddenly fell into silence. This was the first time that he was helpless with magic. It wasn't that he didn't want to learn it, but that he just couldn't learn it.
It's like a subject that I don't understand at all.
Daphne looked at Croya who was in a daze and asked curiously: "What did you find?"
"No..." Croya put down the golden bow casually: "Thank you for this gift. I will give you a fertile soil to take root in, but I wonder if the Ophis family wants to tell me?"
"Yes." Although Daphne was curious about what Croya had discovered, since he didn't tell her, she didn't ask.
She handed over the foreign trade license she had obtained from the Palace of Great Wisdom and the Elf King's Court to Croya, and then said: "We sincerely invite you to visit the Gray Desert of the Kingdom of Norant and the Emerald Wind belonging to the Elf Kingdom. Harbor interchange for trade
And invite you to build houses and infrastructure for our half-elves and half-orcs who live there.
All the above will be paid for by the classics of the Palace of Great Wisdom. ”
Croya's first reaction was... is it true or false?
Books from the Palace of Great Wisdom as reward? When did the elves, who couldn't even afford the money for infrastructure, actually had to cash in on their knowledge?
The second reaction was that this should be the reward from Daphne.
You must know that the status of the Great Wisdom Palace in the elves is basically equivalent to that of the Town of Stars and the headquarters of the Cathedral of the Seven Gods. If you have to talk about its status, it may be higher than the latter two.
Because the headquarters of the Great Wisdom Palace is located in the star realm.
To be honest, this kind of transaction can even be called "poverty alleviation" in a sense - the Duke of the North of a kingdom, and the highest research institution in the elven kingdom.
Just comparing the two, the former definitely has the absolute advantage.
But Croya didn't think so.
The transaction is obviously carried out only when both parties think it is profitable. Both parties have paid, so how can we say who loses and who gains?
So he agreed directly: "Okay, I will make arrangements immediately and arrange for one of my favorite apprentices to conduct site surveys."
"But I still have a question."
"Why do you want to accept orcs?"
Daphne smiled and replied: "Don't you think this place is too narrow? You are obviously working hard, but there are always gods who want to turn your hard work into scorched earth, just to end your dream."
Croya shook his head noncommittally: "But I am still a human being after all, so be it, Ms. Daphne, welcome to you."
He stood on tiptoe and stepped lightly.
The surrounding flowers and sea breeze disappeared in the fluctuation of space in an instant, and were replaced by a warm and moist creek, with rippling water and sunshine.
"I hope you like this garden," Croya said.
Daphne looked at the environment that was perfect for the laurel tree to take root, and felt the music reverberating in the air and sunshine, with sincere joy on her face.
The next second——
Small yellow-green flowers bloomed from the laurel trees, falling like a grand rain of petals, and the entire forest was enveloped in beautiful flowers and fragrant fragrance.
The excess magic power she had absorbed burst out at this moment, enveloping all the magic plants growing around her.
The forest and vegetation were all cheering for the sudden arrival of magic.
Croya was sure that she was really happy.
They are all blooming, how can you not be happy?
