Chapter 378 Visitors from Underground
Chapter 378 Visitors from Underground
Arriving at Nichols Lake, Ivan did not stay long in the temple at the bottom of the lake.
Back on the lake, he couldn't help but feel a sense of urgency. Since the other party had deliberately reminded him, he thought that things might not be as simple as the goddess said, and he should prepare early.
"Improve your strength as much as possible and respond to changes with the same attitude."
"I haven't passed the fatigue period yet, so I can't rush to improve my mental strength for now. But as for the way of the knight - I don't know how I can go further and comprehend the domain aura like the swamp ants?"
At this moment, something disturbed his thoughts.
Locke sent an urgent message saying that many guests had come to the Lanque and hoped that he could go back as soon as possible.
After a while, Ivan returned to the hut in the Mona Ant Colony and found that there were two groups of visitors, one was the wizards from the Ancient Tree Spine, and the other was several aliens.
The aliens have long ears, dark purple skin, and are all female. They look like the legendary elves.
These people should have come together. Leading them was an old woman in gorgeous clothes who was quite powerful. The old woman was leaning on a cane and looked at him with a slightly cold look.
"Boss, these people are the ones who said that Jenny is the saint of their night elves and that Jenny must be taken back." Seeing him, Locke quickly told him the reason.
Ivan nodded and looked at the old woman who was leading the group.
"Human wizard, my name is Kolebasi, the high priest of the night elves. I have come here at the command of my Lord to find the appointed holy person. I hope you will not obstruct me." Kolebasi said as she gestured to the side.
Someone held a scroll and slowly pulled it open, revealing Jenny's portrait clearly.
"You are a guest. Let's talk on my airship." Ivan had never heard of the night elves, and didn't know how Jenny's portrait fell into their hands, so it was difficult for him to judge the matter.
However, the scroll did have a frighteningly deep aura, similar to Mavis whom they had just met.
"No need." Kolebash refused and said firmly, "As the one appointed by our Lord, the Saint must go back with us. There is nothing to discuss."
"Where are you going back?"
"The Empire of Komor."
"I have never heard of the Night Elves, nor the Komor Empire. How can I be assured that Jenny will go back with you? This is ridiculous."
If Ivan had not been afraid of the aura on the scroll and the speculation in his heart, he would not have bothered to talk nonsense with these aliens.
As he spoke, he looked unkindly at the wizard at the Ancient Tree Spine. Leading the way for aliens was no less than becoming a traitor to humanity, but all he got in response was Dean Wright's apologetic smile.
"As long as the Saint agrees, that's enough." Kolebash said firmly.
Hearing her words, Ivan smiled slightly.
He hasn't even figured out the relationship yet, but he's acting so arrogantly. No one else can compare to him.
"I listen to Wizard Ivan." Jenny emphasized.
"Your Highness, there is no need to listen to a man. All men are inferior. This man is also--"
Rosa, the captain of the guard beside Kolebashy, tried to persuade her, but halfway through her words, she saw the Saint's face become murderous, as if she was going to attack her in the next second, so she could not continue.
This also made Kohler Bassi realize Jenny's firm attitude.
It was terrible news that she, the saint appointed by the night elves, actually obeyed the orders of a human man.
"Human wizard, what should you call me?" Kolebashy asked proactively, suppressing her inner displeasure.
"Evan Marichatton." Evan smiled and said, "High Priest, can we talk now?"
"No problem, but I need to talk to you alone." Kolebash agreed and made a request.
"Please." Ivan gestured.
He leaped high, and with the help of a strong wind, he landed lightly on the deck.
Kolebasi turned into a gray shadow and followed to the Lanque. Seeing the Ze Ant with a prominent aura on one side, her expression became more solemn.
"Please come in."
Ivan hinted to Jenny, who got on the airship later, that she didn't need to follow him, and led the high priest to the reception room on the airship.
Kolebash followed her into the hall, and without warning, she swung her cane at Ivan.
"presumptuous!"
This scene fell into the eyes of Jenny who stopped behind. She was furious and immediately threw out a stick of iron to attack Kolebashy. In an instant, the cane hit the three layers of three-color shield that suddenly appeared, making a loud noise.
Immediately afterwards, the iron root pierced the position where Kolebasi was, and Kolebasi turned into a gray shadow again, avoiding the dangerous attack behind her.
One strike and you're done.
Jenny was about to take advantage of the situation and attack, but was secretly stopped by Ivan.
The three of them stood separately, with different expressions and thoughts. Jenny was full of anger, and Ivan's face was so gloomy that it seemed like water was about to drip out.
At this time, the swamp ants also surrounded them, making the situation three to one.
"Hmph! I just want to see what methods you, a human wizard, have. You dare to make the saint obey your words. It seems that you are still capable." Facing heavy siege, Kolebash was not afraid.
"You night elves are not a race from the ground, right?" Ivan asked coldly. When he saw the wizard at the Ancient Tree Spine, he thought of this possibility.
At this moment, if the other party gave a wrong answer, he wouldn't mind surrounding and killing him.
Since he embarked on the path of a wizard, he has never seen such an arrogant person who actually dared to launch a sneak attack on someone else's territory. He was too unscrupulous.
"Yes, we come from the underground world." Kolebashy said proudly.
"The underground passages are guarded by the Lava Lord. How do you prove that you can bring Jenny back underground safely?" Ivan thought to himself, as expected, and then he asked a key question.
"My tribe naturally has a secret method to avoid the Lava Lord. Don't even think about asking me to tell you." Kolebashy looked as if she had seen through his trick and was a little disdainful.
This old guy is so cunning and stubborn.
Ivan did not get angry either. He asked again:
"Okay, let's not talk about the passage. Tell me, if Jenny becomes your saint, how will you ensure her safety? If you don't clarify this issue, I won't let her go with you."
"The safety of the Saint? You think too much, human wizard. What do you think the Saint is? She is the one appointed by the Mother Goddess to serve her, the successor to the next High Priest, second only to the Lord, and even Queen Komor has to respect her. How could our clan let the Saint be in danger?"
After hearing Kolebashy's decisive explanation, Ivan roughly understood the Saint's status in the Night Elf Empire, which was similar to the successor to the Pope.
If this is true, it would be like a big pie popping out of the ground.
"Do you have anything else to ask? Hurry up, I'm still waiting to take the saint back to report to the Mother Goddess." Kolebasi urged.
"One last question. Jenny has never been to the underground world, and she is not from your night elf tribe. How did you choose her to be the saint?" Ivan thought for a while and asked.
"I have said this question more than once before. I will answer it again. The Saint was directly appointed by my Lord, and it was decreed by the gods." Kolebashy said in a deep voice.
This is where the problem and hidden danger lies.
It was not difficult for Ivan to analyze that Jenny was targeted by the mother goddess of the night elves, which should be related to her identity before she was reborn. It would be fine if the other party had good intentions, but if he had bad intentions, she would be committing suicide if she went there.
Judging from Jenny's behavior of using other Pantie roots to replenish her essence, her trip underground was fraught with danger.
"Jenny, what do you think?"
"Don't go."
Jenny gave a negative answer without any hesitation.
"Saint! You are the one chosen by the Mother Goddess, you can't not go." Kolebash became anxious when she heard this. The Saint's attitude was not good. "Saint, what I just said was true, you have to believe me."
Jenny ignored her and was extremely cold.
Seeing this, Kolebashy's heart skipped a beat, and she secretly regretted teaching the human male a lesson just now.
"Human wizard, I guarantee in the name of Mother Earth and the Mother Goddess that every word I said just now is true. If you go, you will be second to none and have a high position. You will definitely inherit my position as the high priest in the future. Please persuade the Saint for me."
The high priest was really anxious. Not only did he swear in person, he also ignored other things and asked the human male he disliked to help persuade him.
Hearing this, Ivan's worries were relieved a lot.
But he was not in a hurry. After all, the one who was really anxious was the old priest. It was the old priest who received the will of the gods and had to bring the saint back to report.
Ignoring the other party's attentive gaze, he leisurely sat down in the main seat in the living room.
"You--" Seeing him act like this, Kolebasi was anxious and angry, her old face flushed a little, but she held it back. "Let them leave first, we can talk alone, Wizard Marichatton."
