Arthur Crow.
Before Joshua returned to the demon world, he paid a visit to Arthur Crow’s priest temple.
The High Elves had the ability to cure the infection of the gray fog. It was for this purpose that Joshua decided to conquer Arthur Crow.
“These are the effects left behind by that monster.”
Elder Enya, as the chief priest of the High Elves, received Joshua. She brought Joshua to the center of the priest Temple.
“Child of the forest, can you reach out your hand?”
Elder Enya turned around and reached out her hand to Joshua.
Joshua glanced at Hiri behind him. She was still holding an apple and chewing on it. Her cheeks were as swollen as a hamster’s.
“What are you going to do… read my palm?”
Joshua directly reached out his hand. This elder Enya looked at Joshua’s palm for a long time. She seemed to be reading his palm.
“Palm? I don’t know what kind of child of the forest you’re referring to, but the magic power in your body is a little restless.”
Elder Enya chanted a series of incantations that Jose could not understand. At the same time, her fingertips swiped on Jose’s palm. One silver-white inscription after another entered Jose’s palm along with the swiping of her fingertips.
Healy had been watching elder Enya vigilantly from the side. It was just to prevent her from suddenly attacking.
After elder Enya finished writing the last inscription, a dark gray fog overflowed from Joshua’s body.
“This is the sin that your race bears, son of the forest.”
Elder Enya looked at the gray fog floating in the air and used a space spell to completely devour it with some disgust.
“Sin?”Joshua shook his hand and did not feel any discomfort in his body. Then, he asked tentatively, “Can you tell me… What did my ancestor do in Ascek?”
Joshua’s question was undoubtedly a taboo question. Elder Enya’s expression also froze for a long time.
“Do you humans like to touch the sensitive parts of others?”Elder Enya said.
“Please pay attention to the face of the High Elf Priestess!”
Joshua did not quite understand what was in the head of this ‘Old Woman’. One second, she was still a priestess. The next second, she would always say something shocking.
“They wanted to steal the power of that monster,”elder Enya said in a low voice.
“And then they succeeded.”
Joshua looked at the gray-white magic power in his hand. This was the unique magic power of Chaos Demons.
“They succeeded, at the price of the blood and souls of our people.”Elder Enya seemed to be trying hard to control her anger. “So, child of the forest, now you understand why we hate the blasphemers so much…”
“I think so, but there’s nothing you can do about it now, right?”Joshua smiled and said to Elder Enya.
No matter how much the High Elves hated Joshua’s race, it was an indisputable fact that Joshua had become their savior. If their race wanted to survive, they needed Joshua’s help.
”… you’re right. It doesn’t feel good to betray our ancestors and have to serve our former sworn enemy, but I have to do this.”
Elder Enya’s voice seemed to be suppressing something.
“Her tone sounds a little… excited?”Hiri whispered to Joshua at this time.
“Ahem… I need a few priests to return to the demon world with me. The disease brought by the gray fog in the demon world is more serious,”Joshua said.
“Finally said something about being a slave?”
Elder Enya showed a somewhat humiliated expression.
“Wait, this is just a very ordinary invitation.”
Joshua glanced around the priest temple. Some young elven priests were secretly looking here.
“I will follow you. After all, this is the fate of the High Elves.”
Elder Enya decided to sacrifice herself.
“I’m sorry. I think it’s better to change to another priest.”
Joshua waved his hand and refused the sacrifice of this ‘Old Woman’.
“Do you still want to reach out to those children?”
Elder Enya glanced at the young elf priests who were secretly looking at them. After noticing elder Enya’s gaze, they hesitated for a moment and slowly walked out of the corner.
“Yes, elder Enya, I think you need to learn the common language again, especially the modifiers.”
Joshua always felt that he had become a cruel slave owner under the Elder’s description.
“Granny Enya! I want to go to the Demon World!”
When the strange atmosphere around them was gradually spreading, Al’s voice sounded in the temple. At this moment, Al’s energetic voice sounded like a little angel to Joshua.
“Al!”Enya interrupted al with a stern voice.
When Al heard this voice, he immediately hid behind Joshua.
“Elder Enya… I’ve already warned her.”
Twigs and leaves ran in from the other side of the temple and said apologetically.
“Al… What do you want to do in the Demon World?”Joshua asked this question on behalf of elder Enya.
“To see teacher Fuya!”
Al immediately raised his hand and said loudly.
Under her reminder, Joshua remembered that Al had been under Fuya’s tutelage for a long time, even though Fuya, as a teacher, had never expressed anything.
“I will be responsible for her safety. I swear on the name of the third Prince of the Demon World,”Joshua looked at elder Enya’s worried expression and said.
“I will go with you.”
Elder Enya pondered for a moment and made this decision.
“Elder!”
When the other young elf priests heard elder Enya’s decision, they immediately came to the center of the temple.
“Give us some time to prepare.”
Elder Enya signaled the other elf priests to calm down. Then, she looked at Joshua again with an expression as if she was about to sacrifice herself.
“Alright, I’ll wait for you at the Hearthstone Tavern in the forgotten land. I suggest that you treat it as a trip.”
Joshua felt that the atmosphere in the entire priest temple had become like… A Life and death parting.
However, Joshua did not intend to continue comforting them. He directly took Hiri away from the priest temple to prepare for the upcoming trip to the demon world.
“I feel like those High Elves are planning something.”
Hiri turned around and looked at the temple of the priest. The temple was under the roots of the huge world tree.
On the other side of the temple of the priest was a more spacious space. It looked like a nest of some kind of huge creature. However, it seemed that the nest had not been visited by any creature for a long time.
“It’s okay… As long as I’m within the surveillance range of the world tree, I’ll be the first to know if they’re making any big moves.”
Joshua felt that for this ‘country’that mainly focused on religion, what made them most desperate was that the god they believed in was on Joshua’s side.
