Chapter 351 The Continuation of the War of Gods
Facing the hostility all around, Shu Li calmly raised his magic wand and instantly cast the blessing of light. Everyone felt a holy starlight pouring down from above their heads, and their fear of the monsters and their vigilance against strangers were instantly alleviated.
Seeing the people around him put down their weapons one after another, Shu Li breathed a sigh of relief, took the Elf King's hand, and jumped off Farm's back together.
Farm took the opportunity to transform back into a little baby beast and squatted obediently on Shu Li's shoulder.
The threat was lifted, and the hostility on people's faces disappeared. They looked at the two strangers curiously.
"Who are you? Where are you from? Why are you bringing magical beasts with you?"
A middle-aged man with a big belly walked out from behind the guards and looked at Shu Li and the Elf King with sharp eyes.
As soon as Shu Li saw his posture, he knew that he had a certain identity and status, and was a superior who was good at giving orders.
"Hello, my name is Sperian, and this is my...brother Ace. We are magicians from afar."
Shu Li displayed her most elegant demeanor, politely greeted the middle-aged man, and introduced herself with a smile.
"It is my contracted magical beast. Don't worry, it won't hurt anyone without my order."
The Elf King had a cold expression on his face. He nodded slightly to the middle-aged man in response to Shu Li's words, revealing his noble temperament.
Farm waved his short and fat paws, showing the silly look of the milk beast, which was completely different from the ferocious and majestic appearance just now.
The middle-aged man was a man of vision. When he heard the blond boy say that he was a magician, he immediately smiled in a friendly manner.
"So you are magicians! That's great!" He laughed, a gleam in his eyes, and waved his hand to let the citizens around him disperse.
"I'm Kenny Merritt, the mayor of Bahdi City. Welcome to our two distinguished guests."
He warmly invited Shu Li and the Elf King into the city and hospitably asked them to stay in the City Lord's Mansion.
Shu Li politely declined. "Thank you for the invitation, Lord City Lord, but my brother and I have important matters to attend to. We apologize for disturbing you."
They had just arrived and had to find out the situation here. There were many rules in the City Lord's Mansion, and it was difficult to get any information.
Seeing their resolute attitude, the city lord did not force them. Before leaving, he suddenly asked, "Is the battle at Fort Eba over?"
Shu Li was stunned and couldn't answer for a moment.
"It's not over yet." The elf spoke at the right time, his expression calm, "We left the battlefield this time because we have a mission."
The city lord laughed cheerfully and said, "I see."
After a few more polite words, the city lord left with his guards.
After watching them walk away, Shu Li patted his chest and secretly thanked his lucky stare.
He was almost tricked by the city lord, but luckily the Elf King reacted quickly and easily covered up the lie.
Shu Li looked up at his perfect face and whispered, "Ai...Ace, thank you."
On the busy streets, he didn't dare call "Wang" and could only call him by his pseudonym.
The Elf King reached out and patted his head soothingly, smiling: "You're welcome."
The little goblin was inexperienced and was caught off guard when he met a human who was like an old fox. It was understandable that he was tricked.
Shu Li puffed out his cheeks, reflecting on his lack of caution. He must be more vigilant next time and never fall into other people's language traps.
They knew nothing about this place and had to find out the situation of the tenth level maze as soon as possible.
Bahdi City is a prosperous city with a wide variety of shops on both sides of the street. Shu Li and the Elf King walked around and decided to go to the hotel first.
Their appearance was too outstanding, and they were wearing gorgeous magic robes, so they were stared at wherever they went, making it inconvenient to inquire about information.
He walked into an inn, paid the gold coins, and asked for a room.
Why just one room?
It’s convenient to stay in one room so we can discuss things easily.
After getting the key and entering the room, Shu Li took out the items used for disguise.
He dyed his blonde hair black, drank potions to change his eyes and skin color, changed into ordinary civilian clothes, lowered his appearance again and again, and disguised himself as a handsome swordsman.
Yes, swordsman.
He found that there were no magicians in the city, only ordinary swordsmen.
In order to fit in here, he took out an iron sword stored in a storage ring and hung it on his waist buckle.
The Elf King's disguise was much easier than his. With a single high-level spell, he transformed his appearance. His hair darkened, his eyes a bluish-gray, his skin darkened three shades, and he changed into a simple swordsman's uniform. Standing next to Shu Li, they looked like a pair of brothers.
Shu Li didn't expect that he would disguise himself according to his appearance. He felt a little embarrassed and hurriedly put on a hooded cloak to cover his red ears.
The Elf King glanced at the little elf who lowered her head, and slowly gathered up her waist-length black hair into a low ponytail. He then wrapped it with a purple ribbon several times and tied a knot. Two half-foot-long strands hung down, mixed in with the black hair.
After Shu Li waited for him to get dressed, he asked Farm to return the Seal of the God of Fire and leave the hotel together.
As expected, after changing his clothes, he no longer attracted attention.
They headed straight for the grocery store.
When I was walking around the street before, I had already set my sights on each shop.
Luckily, the grocery store sells simple maps.
Shu Li paid two gold coins, bought the map, and couldn't wait to open it and take a look.
The tenth-level maze is indeed not simple. It has mountains, plains, forests, rivers, and lakes. It is like a small world.
The map shows a total of four cities, two adjacent to each other, squeezed in the south, while a large black area in the north is separated by a thick dividing line. In the middle of the dividing line, a circle is marked, which is the Fortress of Eba mentioned by the city lord.
The city of Bahdi where they were located was located in the southernmost part, two cities away from the Eba Fortress.
No wonder the city lord had doubts about their identities.
The Elf King chatted with the grocery store owner for a few words and skillfully used dark magic to easily extract useful information from the owner.
The area north of Eba Fortress is the territory of the demons.
For thousands of years, the demons have been intent on encroaching on human territory, wantonly crossing the Eba Fortress, burning, killing, looting, and committing all manner of atrocities. The humans they capture are either killed or become slaves of the demons, living a life devoid of dignity.
In order to stop the invasion of demons, humans united as one, and all magicians and senior swordsmen went to the front line and fought bravely.
"...There are demons in the maze?" Shu Li was surprised, thinking of the demon king sealed on the fourth floor and the monsters on the ninth floor.
Sure enough, the snow mountain maze is a cage created by the water god.
The war of gods ten thousand years ago has not ended and is still going on here.
The humans living on the tenth floor are still fighting hard.
The Water God uses the Snow Mountain Maze to attract foreign adventurers, hoping that the adventurers will pass the layers of tests, enter the tenth floor, and help the humans here defeat the demons.
Unfortunately, for thousands of years, adventurers have ventured into the Snow Mountain Maze one after another, but no team has successfully entered the tenth floor.
If Team Light had not accidentally obtained the Water Spirit Pearl, they would not have known about the existence of the tenth level maze.
So far, he and the Elf King were the first adventurers to arrive here.
After learning the whole story, they left the grocery store and went to the bookstore next door, where they bought some travel notes, notebooks, etc. to gain a more comprehensive understanding of the tenth floor.
The people here value magicians very much. Every child, at the age of five, must go to the temple to undergo a magic attribute test. All children who awaken magic, regardless of strength, must remain in the temple to study.
When the child grows up to fifteen years old and becomes an apprentice magician, he will go to the Eba Fortress to perform tasks.
There are senior magicians in the Fortress of Erba who will guide them to learn and improve their strength, and cultivate them to the best of their ability.
I don’t know if it’s because their potential has been fully developed, but the magicians here are all very talented. There are many high-level magicians, great magicians everywhere, and no shortage of magic saints and gods.
Shu Li was shocked when he saw this record in the notebook.
The Austin continent experienced the War of the Gods ten thousand years ago, and the magician population was almost wiped out. Unexpectedly, the magicians in the tenth-level maze were so powerful.
"Why did the Water God lock the demons here?" Shu Li was puzzled.
"There must be an opponent that she cannot deal with." The Elf King held a book in his hand, turned to a certain page, and pointed it to Shu Li.
Shu Li took a closer look and was stunned when he saw the two lines of words that the Elf King was pointing at.
"God of Darkness!"
He gasped.
"To be precise, they are the clones of the God of Darkness." The Elf King said grimly, "Every god has four or five clones."
"Huh?" Shu Li was so shocked that his jaw almost dislocated.
It turns out that the gods are so powerful that they can even split into pieces!
No wonder the War of the Gods ten thousand years ago was so difficult. It turned out that the God of Darkness split himself into four or five parts and wreaked havoc on the continent everywhere.
The reason why the Water God created the Snow Mountain Maze was probably to imprison the clone of the God of Darkness.
If you can't kill it, you can only lock it up.
The problem is very serious!
Shu Li touched the small flower crown on her head that had turned into a hairpin and fell into deep thought.
No wonder the God of Time and Space predicted that darkness would return. The God of Darkness here is simply a time bomb. If it escapes, the consequences will be unimaginable.
The humans living here are so great that they have fought for thousands of years to resist the clones of the God of Darkness.
Generation after generation, they have no regrets.
Shu Li had great respect for them.
"Ace, let's go to Fortress Urba."
As a brave man, you must face challenges head-on.
He had a premonition that there would be news about the water spirit at Eba Fortress.
"Okay." The Elf King never refuses the goblin's request.
Without further ado, Shu Li and the Elf King left the bookstore and went to other shops to buy a bunch of supplies, especially food, stockpiling more than ten boxes.
Shu Li was so hungry that he let go of his gold coins and went on a shopping spree. If he wasn't afraid of attracting attention, he would have wanted to empty out all the rice and flour shops and fruit and vegetable shops.
After the shopping was completed, they returned to the hotel.
"It's late today. Have a good rest and send it out tomorrow." The Elf King said gently to the goblin.
"Yeah!" Shu Li looked at the darkening sky outside the window and nodded.
After living outdoors for so many days, I finally have a normal bed to sleep on.
We can't escape from the Eba Fortress, so there's no need to rush. It won't be too late to set off again after we have gathered our strength.
The hotel they stayed in was in good condition, with a bedroom, living room and separate bathroom. In Shu Li's words, it was equivalent to the presidential suite in the old world.
The room fee was paid by the Elf King, a full one hundred gold coins.
When paying, Shu Li was hesitant, thinking that there was no need to stay in such an expensive room, but the Elf King persuaded him with a few words.
"If you have money, you don't have to compromise yourself."
Shu Li blinked, having no reason to object.
From the time we entered the snow mountain maze to now, we have worked hard for eight or nine months. It is rare for us to stay in the city, so shouldn’t we treat ourselves better?
Shu Li went into the bathroom first and took a nice hot bath.
After washing, she climbed onto the bed wearing loose pajamas and letting her slightly curly waist-length black hair hang down.
The bed was soft, with brand new sheets, and was incredibly comfortable.
Shu Li lifted the quilt, lay down in it, and sighed softly.
After living in a tent for so long, I almost forgot how wonderful a bed is.
The bed is very large, about two meters wide, more than enough for two people to sleep.
While the Elf King was taking a bath, Shu Li rolled around on the bed, having a lot of fun.
Farm ate a large piece of grilled meat for dinner and lay contentedly on the head of the bed to digest the food. He saw the little goblin rolling around on the bed, wagging its tail in boredom.
Shu Li played for a while, then took out a diary and pen and quickly recorded everything that had happened during this period.
After taking a shower, the Elf King walked into the bedroom and saw the little goblin lying on the bed, writing furiously, and occasionally lifting his feet.
He was wearing a nightgown, and as his calves bent, the hem of the robe kept rising, revealing a piece of white skin.
The Elf King calmly approached the bed and sat down.
Farm raised his eyelids, took a look, and wisely remained silent.
Shu Li felt someone beside him, so he stopped writing and turned to meet the Elf King's gentle gaze. He hurriedly knelt up and quickly closed his notebook.
Just now, while the Elf King was taking a bath, I wrote in my diary in Chinese characters. I was so focused that I didn't even notice the Elf King approaching.
After glancing at the blond man guiltily, Shu Li pretended to be calm and stuffed the notebook into the storage ring.
Shouldn't you have discovered it?
