    Eleven elves were bleeding on the spot, and the reason was inexplicable. There was never a blood sacrifice in the temple of the Lord of Ceremonies.  The rangers were in shock, and they pointed their bows and arrows at the priests. They didn't know why they did this, they just felt a sense of security.  The young princess was greatly shocked. She used to think that the priests were aloof and cold-blooded and did not care about the lives and deaths of their compatriots. Now she realized that they did not take their own lives seriously either. The power of faith is so powerful.  The Orfascist high priest felt that his internal organs had been hollowed out and his limbs were sore and weak.  He stared closely at the realm of spiritual light that was gradually dissipating. He sensed it when Nieron took back his divinity, but he didn't know how the battle was going.  The chief priest was bound to die, and with the sacrifice of eleven high-ranking priests, half of the backbone of the temple was lost.  Moreover, the cruel blood sacrifice also scares ordinary believers. They are loyal to the master of the ceremony, but they cannot accept this kind of "loyalty".  In the next period of time, there will definitely be some turmoil in the temple, and the piety of believers will face a test. If the action of the Supreme One fails Orfascism is prepared for the worst.  A successful church must have the support of fanatics, but the leader of the temple must not be fanatics. Their single-minded way of thinking cannot bring about the prosperity of faith.  Orfascism does not belong to this category.  "Hoo!" Lesatos' figure enveloped the altar, and the strong wind shook it.  The princess and the chief priest stared at the golden dragon, expecting different results.  "We meet again, Your Highness the Princess." Failed!  Orfasis was depressed for a few seconds, then immediately cheered up.  "Just call me Drusilia. I'm sorry, Flame Mage, if the priests use dishonorable methods against you, please tell" Before the princess could finish her words, anger shot out of her eyes.  She saw Orfasius pull out the dagger from his colleague's heart, and the blood dyed the priest's robe red.  The chief priest said hello and staggered over.  Only half of the priests and guards responded, following behind the patriarch, drawing swords and facing each other.  The remaining elves were in a daze, glancing hesitantly at their compatriots lying on the altar, trembling all over.  "Hand over the body." He said to the golden dragon, but pointed the dagger at the princess.  It means that if I can't defeat you, the temple will use all its strength to kill Drusilia and destroy the trade.  Drusilia did not see the sinister intentions of Orfascism. The girl gritted her teeth and said word by word: "Master! Lord! Sacrifice! The hospitality of the Tia elves has been thrown into the swamp by you. What else do you want to do?"  Like this!" "Hand over the body." Orfascist was unmoved.  Lesatos thought it was so funny that he threatened foreigners with the lives of his own people.  But it did work. He didn't care if the chief priest used force, but he couldn't let Tiya have civil strife now.  "Take it." The corpse was thrown out from the dimensional bracelet hanging on the dragon's claws. The tragic and ferocious appearance frightened many elves, and no one recognized it as the chief priest.  Orfascism took a look, took off his sacrificial robe and covered the body.  Silently move out of the way.  Drusiliya didn’t want to say another word to the madman, so she left directly with the Flame Master.  On the way, the princess asked about the corpse, and Lesatos smiled and said, "That's a hammer, a big hammer." "A hammer?" Lesatos smiled and said nothing.  It was indeed a war hammer, disguised as a corpse through a transformation spell.  The real corpse is still carried in the dimensional bracelet. This is the most important trophy of Jinlong's trip. How can he hand it over.  Along the way, the princess looked around nervously, fearing that something would happen again.  Lesatos contacted his butler.  During the spiritual link, Flamir asked: "Master, the link was interrupted for 43 minutes, are you okay?" "Very good, the results are rich. I am about to go to the Elf King's state banquet." "I'm afraid you won't be able to eat this meal.  It’s over. The troops on the border started taking action 20 minutes ago. Do you want to intervene? “No need, just let nature take its course. My products can be tested in actual combat.  War is the arms dealer’s birthday, so prepare your weapons.  " "Follow your orders.  " The team of dragons and elves finally saw the city gate, and Drusilia breathed a sigh of relief. After unexpected changes, the invitation was on track, and the Elf King stood at the city gate waiting. It's not that the royal family is too polite, Elisatos  With such a size, all the ancient city gates and streets had to be demolished to enter the Green City. Lesatos suddenly jumped into the air, and the originally bright figure shone brightly, and the dragon turned into a cloud of flames.  After being stunned for a moment, he found a stream of flames separated and condensed on the ground. When all the fire clouds gathered, the stream of flames transformed into a male elf who dispersed the flames. His long hair was completely golden, not ordinary.  The pale gold shines like golden threads illuminated by strong light. His face has stronger lines and lighter skin than the Tia Elf. His long and pointed ears are no different, but add a little more.  Friendly. The eyes are also golden.Yes, but it is easy to identify the dragon because the pupils are vertical slits.  The robe decorated with various colored gemstones is extremely gorgeous. What is even more eye-catching is that the surface of the robe is embroidered with two activated golden dragons. They are playing and fighting with each other, flying from the left sleeve to the collar, and then from the collar to the hem.  "I am deeply honored that Lesatos Yanyan has been invited, Your Majesty." The golden dragon's voice was also rougher than that of the elf, and he saluted the king as a mage.  As the king of a clan, calmness is a basic quality.  When the princess was still staring at her with her mouth full, the Elf King warmly welcomed her while gesticulating wildly behind her back.  In order to welcome Lesatos, the craftsmen of Ludu rushed to make extra-large dining tables (door panels), super-large napkins (carpets), super-large toothpicks (spear), super-largeall are used now.  If you don't get it, it would be too embarrassing to take it out again.  Along the way, the Elf King and Princess took turns introducing the scenery and historical background of Green City, and Lesatos also showed great interest in the artistic connotation.  The atmosphere was quite harmonious, and everyone had a tacit understanding not to mention the temple.  Entering the palace, Lesatos is in the guest seat due west.  Originally there was a chair besides the elf father and daughter, but the chief priest would definitely not come.  The elf maid carried the silver plate with light steps, and even the smallest spoon was engraved with complete elf paintings.  The elves of Saraf are not vegetarians, and rabbit, bird, and other small mammals are on the menu.  Although the Tiya people have a light taste and dislike greasy meat slices grilled, it does not mean that the only seasoning is salt.  The Tia Forest is the largest spice producing area in Saraf. The peppercorns, which are not favored by the elves, can be exchanged for gold of equal weight in the outside world.  Before the banquet, Lesatos presented two magical objects to the Elf King and Princess respectively.  Drusilla now felt itchy when she heard "magic". She looked curiously at the small carved wooden box.  "Can you open it?" "Excuse me." In the Elf King's box is a green crystal slightly smaller than the palm of your hand, polished into a disc shape, and one finger thick.  The center of the crystal plate has very good light transmittance, and from the critical point of view of the elves, it is also top grade.  "[All Seeing Eye] Crystal Disk, hold it in your hand and chant silently in your mind, you can see the scene within 10 surreys. It can penetrate buildings, but you must at least see the appearance of the destination, and it will be protected against detection spells  The protected area does not work. It can be used once a day for 5 minutes each time." The Elf King tilted his head and thought for a while, and the image appeared on the crystal disk from light to dark.  In the ceremonial hall of the temple, the Orfascist Archpriest was holding the long handle of a war hammer in a daze. The tangled expression on his face that was a mixture of dullness, confusion, and anger almost made the Elf King burst out laughing. After knowing each other for hundreds of years, this was his first time.  Seeing an old rival like this.  "Exquisite creation, I like it very much." Drushilia could not wait to open the box. To her disappointment, there was only an ordinary gold ring inside without any carving.  The princess looked at Lesatos in confusion.  "[Ring of Wrong Words]. It makes the wearer the same as the constant [Spell of Wrong Words]. You can directly listen and speak the language of any intelligent creature without learning, but you can't read and write." The princess suddenly understood. This is so useful.  .  Drusilia has been running around coordinating the unicorns, and communication has become a big problem.  Unicorn's language talent is average, and she is slow to learn Tiya language. She is considering learning Mu language.  It was a pleasant banquet. The Elf King did not mention the specific trade at the dinner table. Bargaining was a matter for his subordinates.  The two sides have continued exchanges on philosophy, art and religion.  “Traditionally, Saraf is the continent beneath our feet.” Lesatos cut off a piece of red tangerine venison. The slightly spicy, sour and numb taste suited his taste.  "But on a broader level, Saraf refers to the land, ocean, and sky added together, and the sum of their spaces is [plane]." "Are there many planes?" "It's hard to count. It's not too big.  Part of it is full of various harsh environments. Except for the native races of this plane, outsiders are not suitable for survival. The most important one is the material plane like Saraf, which is the end of the universe. " "How did you do it.  Coming to Saraf? What is between the planes? "Through the star realm. It is not a space, and it has no time, but it is infinite."  For meat-cutting knives, hold one in each hand.  "Suppose they are planes, and now they are half a meter together. We shrink it by half, which is a quarter of a meter, and then shrink it by half again, which is one-eighth of a meterImagine that they keep halving the distance, getting closer and closer but never getting closer.  Without contact, the star realm is in this tiny gap." Drushiliya was dizzy: "Did you just say that the star realm is infinitely vast?" "Indeed, big and small, far and near, this is a matter of mental cognition.  Again, the astral realm is the place of the mind. The spirit sees distance and the spirit feels space  In fact, it cannot be measured, and all spatial units - length, volume, volume are meaningless.  "The Elf King still smiled reservedly, and Drusilia's eyes were full of stars. Lesatos sighed, which made it difficult for a brain that had not learned the basics of a mage to understand too abstract concepts. "As a metaphor,  The star realm is the sea, but it is endless, with no bottom or surface.  The plane is the bubble suspended in the sea.  "One-sided knowledge is better than no knowledge. When Lesatos was about to explain the vascularity of the astral realm, the Elf King's captain of the guard suddenly interrupted the conversation and rushed in. The captain of the guard whispered a few words, and the Elf King  His expression suddenly changed. He stood up and said, "I'm sorry again, Master Huanyan, the banquet can only go so far.  " "It doesn't matter, there will be many opportunities in the future.  " "Although there has been no detailed consultation on the details, can you first" "I understand, Your Majesty.  I will provide two thousand fine iron daggers and two thousand iron bucklers.  and fifty thousand metal arrows.  The account is temporarily on credit, but the amount is too large, so you have to send someone to the river valley to collect it.  " "Thank you very much, once again.  "The Elf King saluted sincerely. Lesatos did not transform and fly away, but flashed with white light and teleported directly back to the demiplane. "Father?  "Drusiliya was extremely uneasy. She had already guessed what had happened. The Elf King said seriously: "The Eastern Kingdom and the Southern City-State have joined forces, and tens of thousands of humans have divided into hundreds of teams to invade the forest!  ” ps: Bei Ming is very pleased that so many book friends love it.
