Chapter 403 Temple Test
Shu Li only felt a flash of white light before his eyes, and when he came to his senses, he was already in a strange hall.
He quickly looked around, looking for his friends.
Fortunately!
Angel, Desio, Budno, and Kumandi were all there.
etc--
Where is the Elf King?
Shu Li panicked and released his senses to check every corner of the hall, but he could not find the Elf King at all.
"Wow! Where is this?"
I heard Desio's exclamation.
"The stone tablet emitted a beam of light and suddenly swallowed us up," said Angel.
"Could this be the interior of the Temple of Erst?" Budno opened his mouth wide and walked around curiously.
Kumandi looked solemn and said in a deep voice, "Only five of us were teleported in here."
Just now, he released his perception at the first moment, but did not detect the king's breath.
Shu Li frowned and guessed, "Maybe... the king is still outside."
Uncle Sam didn't come in either, did he?
Angel nodded. "Hey, it must be because the king is too powerful. The Earth God doesn't want him to come in."
Kumandi, still holding the notebook containing the runes on the stele, glanced down and read, "...When darkness descends again, please use the Key of Hag to open the Gate of Doss, pass the test, and pray for the heroic spirit..."
Angel's eyes sparkled. "Does this mean... the Earth God wants to test us?"
Disio was very interested: "How to test?"
This is just a gorgeous and spacious hall without any checkpoints or exits. How can we test them?
Shu Li clenched the magic wand in his hand and said firmly, "No matter what kind of test it is, we must get through it."
His purpose of coming to the Temple of Ersde was to find the Earth Spirit, gain his recognition, and improve his own strength.
Now, half of the task is completed, and we must naturally give our all to the remaining half.
"Sperian is right!" Desio shouted with great enthusiasm. "Bring me whatever tests you want!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a roar suddenly sounded from all directions of the hall.
The goblins immediately stood back to back, formed a circle, and looked around vigilantly.
Four stone doors opened on the east, south, west and north walls of the hall. Then a gust of cold wind blew, and countless white shadows rushed out of the stone doors and rushed towards the little goblins.
"Here it comes!" Budno said nervously.
Shu Li raised his magic wand and instantly cast a light shield to protect himself and his friends.
Hundreds of white shadows surrounded them, stopped five meters away, and stared at them grimly.
Dizio couldn't help but shudder. "What...are they?"
These white shadows were translucent and stood densely together, making it difficult to see their appearance. One could vaguely see that they were human figures, of varying heights, holding weapons in their hands, with two flaming eyes staring intently at the five little goblins.
Shu Li swallowed and asked uncertainly, "Ghost? Undead?"
"What do they want to do?" Budno said nervously, "There are so many of them..."
Using my intuition to roughly count, at least five hundred, hiss—
Five goblins versus five hundred undead, you really think highly of them!
"Don't be afraid!" said Dizio. "We have killed many more."
On the tenth level battlefield of the maze, they remained calm in the face of tens of thousands of monsters. It was a piece of cake for them to deal with only five hundred undead in front of them.
"Humph, of course I'm not afraid!" Budno said unconvinced.
Dixie turned his head and raised an eyebrow at him: "Then let's compete to see who kills more."
Budno raised his chin and replied, "Let's compete!"
Shu Li wanted to hold his forehead.
Desio and Budno are really... they never forget to argue.
"Shut up and look up!" Angel suddenly reminded.
The five little goblins looked up at the same time, and saw a beam of light cast from the top of the hall. Accompanied by melodious harp music, a human figure condensed in the light.
The figure was wearing a flowing white magic robe, holding an eleven-string harp in his hand. He was playing the harp in an elegant posture in the air, his long, silky silver hair was flying, and his handsome face, which was difficult to tell whether he was male or female, showed an intoxicated expression.
"...It sounds really bad." Discio tried to hold it in, but couldn't help but complain.
Fairies are proficient in music. People who are used to listening to the fairy music played by fairies or elves unconsciously develop a picky mentality towards other music.
However, out of politeness, they generally won't complain to your face unless it's too unpleasant.
For example, now, this magician floating in the air and immersed in music, the music he plays is simply unbearable to listen to.
The music was missing notes, intermittent, and out of tune, which was simply poison to the goblin's ears.
"Is he attacking us with music?" Budno covered his sensitive ears in pain.
"If this was his method of attack, he succeeded," Kumandi said expressionlessly.
"No - I can't stand it!" Angel took out a harp from the storage ring, and plucked the strings with his fingers nimbly. The harp immediately made a clear sound.
Shu Li twitched the corners of his mouth.
Is this a fight?
Angel played a soul-stirring song without hesitation, and his momentum overwhelmed the white-robed magician above him.
The ears were saved and the other goblins breathed a sigh of relief.
The white-robed magician stopped plucking the strings, slowly opened his eyes, and looked down with interest at the five outsiders who had broken into the temple.
Without the noise, Angel calmed down, and the piano music became less aggressive and more sincere.
The piece he played was a poem in praise of the earth.
Fairies have always admired nature, and when they incorporate their emotions into poetry, they produce heavenly sounds.
A hint of surprise flashed in the eyes of the white-robed magician, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly as he quietly enjoyed this rare and wonderful music.
When he heard something touching, he opened his mouth and sang a poem.
"When the morning star rises
The night stars disappear in the sky
Darkness fades
The earth welcomes the long-awaited light
The God of Spring brings breeze and drizzle
Moisturizing the dry earth
Great God of the Earth
Hedface L'Overgne
Give us abundant food
Please sing, dance and praise to your heart's content."
Shu Li blinked and stared at the white-robed magician.
His lyrics are much better than the unpleasant piano music.
Although his voice was not as good as those of fairies and elves, it was far better than that of many humans.
After a song ended, Angel put down the harp.
“Pah pah pah——”
The harp in the white-robed magician's arms disappeared at some point, and he clapped his hands slowly, giving praise without hesitation.
"What a wonderful elven poem, so nostalgic."
After clapping, he moved closer to the goblins and looked at them with a smile on his face.
"I've been waiting here for over ten thousand years, and finally I've seen a living person." He raised his eyebrows, looked around, and then corrected himself, "Oh, I was wrong. It should be a living fairy."
Don't hit someone who smiles at you.
Shu Li temporarily dropped her guard and gracefully greeted him. "Hello, I'm Sperien from the Fairy Forest. I apologize for trespassing upon the Temple of Erstde."
The other four fairies followed suit and introduced themselves.
The white-robed magician returned the greeting: "I am Mayde Hume, a priest serving the Earth God. I am delighted to meet you here."
Shu Li was slightly stunned.
Priest Mayd Hume?
He had read legends related to him in ancient books.
This is a magician at the level of a god of magic. He has served the god of the earth, Hedface Loverne, all his life. He is eloquent and highly respected by both the dwarves and goblins.
He is still alive!
Has it been staying underground for thousands of years?
With his strength at the level of a magic god, it would be easy for him to leave here. Why would he be willing to be trapped in the temple and waste his years?
Mayid's eyes sparkled as he smiled at the goblins, "Okay, now that we've introduced ourselves, it's time to begin the test."
He snapped his fingers, and hundreds of undead who were standing still suddenly moved.
"Dear little fairies, from the moment you entered the Temple of Erstde, you have been given the title of warriors. To obtain the treasure left by the Earth God, you must pass five tests. Now is the first test - I wish you good luck!"
Before the goblins could react, his body turned into starlight and dissipated into the air.
Meanwhile, the undead rushed to besiege the goblins.
Fortunately, we set up a light defense shield in advance to withstand the first wave of attacks.
"Do it—"
At Shu Li's command, hundreds of light balls were instantly launched and shot towards the undead that were getting closer and closer.
When he first saw the undead, he didn't dare to act rashly for fear of killing the wrong hero.
Now that it is clear that these undead are the first test, there will be no mercy.
Disio, Angel, Budno, and Kumandi acted in perfect harmony.
Having fought on the tenth floor of the maze for eighty-five years, they have extensive experience in team battles, and winning battles with fewer troops is not uncommon.
Wind, water, light, and fire magic were released at the same time, and the entire hall fell into chaos.
Shu Li revealed the wings on her back and fought like a fairy.
He flew into the air, wielding his magic wand deftly, instantly casting various spells and killing a swarm of undead.
These undead were of high rank and were powerful warriors in their lifetime. They swarmed over and surrounded the five goblins. Even if Shu Li flew into the air, he still found it difficult to resist.
However, he was not panicked.
He has killed demon generals stronger than them, let alone undead whose level is not as high as that of the Mage Saint?
They simply relied on their large numbers, coming one after another, continuously, and consuming their magic power and physical strength.
He went all out, unleashing the seven elements of magic, and using dark magic without hesitation.
Immobilize, slow down, weaken, break defense, stun...
Various debuffs came together, instantly slowing down the undead's movements.
"Well done!" Disio shouted excitedly, and a fireball fell like a meteor, taking away a large wave of undead.
The fighting was in full swing in the hall. In a small hall, the white-robed magician Meid placed his right hand on his chest and saluted respectfully to the blond elf.
"Your Excellency, the Elf King, it's been ten thousand years since we last met, but you're still as charming as ever. It's a great honor to meet you again."
The Elf King nodded and smiled. "It's been a long time since we last met. I didn't expect you to be at the Temple of Ersted."
Mayide said: "I am a priest. Wherever the temple is, there I will be."
The Elf King looked up at the huge mirror not far away, in which was "playing out" a scene of goblins fighting against hundreds of undead.
"I came in with them, why were we divided into two places?"
Mayide said calmly, "Everything is the will of the Earth God."
How could he, a mere priest, dare to allow the Elf King, who was as powerful as a god, to take part in the test?
If the Elf King appeared at the first level, even a thousand undead would not be able to stop him.
The test has completely lost its meaning.
The Elf King understood Mayid's hidden meaning and sat calmly in the chair, watching the battle in the mirror leisurely.
Seeing that he stopped talking, Mayid secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
I never expected that after waiting for ten thousand years, I would actually see the Elf King.
