Chapter 471: Evan
Three shadows in the forest.
"Some important things, so I asked someone to call you over." The elf elder said to Arnold.
"I can foresee some of the future and have also had some research on theology." He took a book from the old bookshelf, and seemed to have been ready, and skillfully turned to one of the pages: "Child, look, the gods in the world we are familiar with are nothing more than controlling the power of elements, and there are ever-changing combination relationships between different elements. Theoretically, as long as the degree of fit is sufficient, the more elements are combined, the stronger the power it exerts."
"I think there is a way to defeat the current heirs of the Demon God."
Arnold kept identifying the incomprehensible words and ignorant patterns in the book, until the elf elder said this and he raised his head.
"You must find someone who can replace the successor of the Holy Spirit. He may not have divine power, but must have a physique to restrain darkness, preferably someone you are familiar with. As long as you five join forces, they will have the power to fight."
Arnold almost subconsciously thought of Grint, who possessed the Scepter of the Holy Light. Although he did not know the specific origin of the Holy Light Stone used to create the Scepter, it must be a matter with light elements.
"But what should I do?"
"You need to constantly fight, get in, and resonate with the five elements, you will naturally understand it at that time. But as far as I know, the artifact of fire is not controlled by you."
Speaking of this, the elf elder looked ahead, counted his fingers in his hand, and a faint green light flashed out of his eyes: "It seems that she has started to act..."
But what Arnold knew was that no one had decided on the successor of Fire, let alone the news about the artifact.
"Can you tell me more clues? It is my duty to help the Heir of Fire get the artifact."
"The Scythe of the Fire God, Yan Yue, I can faintly sense it is in the middle of the Red Flame Continent, and the rest depends on you."
After Arnold thanked, he left.
He had another task in his arms, which was to find the successor of Thunder, Evan. It seemed that the journey this time was much longer than expected.
The God’s successor himself is humble. Hearing that she died, there was no memorial or commemoration, people simply said to find a substitute.
Arnold felt a little sad.
When he walked out of the forest elf territory and saw a figure waiting for him, he said, "Merry, are you really not going to go in and take a look?"
Merry shook her head.
"With me here, they dare not say anything. And now is an extraordinary period, and they will definitely not blame each other." Arnold said.
Merry still shook her head.
"……All right!"
Seeing that Arnold had no choice but to her, Merry didn't say anything and silently imposed the wings of the wind on Arnold. If he could always keep flying, it would be not difficult for them to cross the ocean.
The wind blew across the sides of her cheeks, and Meili said, "You didn't hesitate at all?"
Arnold knew what Merry was asking, and all the spearheads of the Hidden Temple were pointing to a person, who was once the most mysterious and proud of him, Adrian.
"I don't know whether it's right or wrong. I just know that in my capacity, I should do this."
-
The gods have special physiques. They can sense each other's existence within a certain distance, but except for the successors of [light] and [dark] who can specifically perceive the attributes of other people, they only know that they are the same kind, and they do not know who they are.
Arnold sensed such an existence near the western port of the Thunder Empire. He almost certainly was Evan, so he rushed over without hesitation.
"The atmosphere here is a little wrong." Merry suddenly said in Arnold's ear.
After hearing this, Arnold began to pay attention to the scene on the street, but he did not feel anything unusual. Thunder City was still as prosperous and orderly as before. Although he did not notice it, Arnold subconsciously felt that what Merry said was true, so he asked, "What's wrong?"
"I can't describe some of the inner things of some people."
Arnold frowned and continued to move forward until he determined that the target was the person a hundred meters away. It was close to the pier and the sensing was in a building by the sea.
The building has four floors, and there are things like badges on the top of the gate, which are as big as a plate. What kind of guild is it? Arnold thought.
I tried to push the door gently, but it was not locked, and no one was guarding the door inside and outside. There were lights on inside, the hall was spacious, and the stairs were symmetrical, as if I had arrived at the mansion of a certain nobleman.
"Announcing. Is anyone?"
Arnold knew that there must be someone, but he still had to say that. In such a building, there are no guarantees that there are many other people besides that successor.
Then, he saw a flash of light on the ground.
Then, the soles of my feet felt a little numb, and I heard the sound of the door behind being closed: "What a surprise. I didn't expect you to be here. Just so happen that we just discussed things, so you can come together."
There was a sudden increase of someone behind Arnold, and he was still shocked. Evan was a little shorter than him - because he was too tall. After Evan closed the door, he walked to the front to lead the way, as if the two of them were already very familiar.
Using the characteristics of lightning conduction to teleport... isn't this too exaggerated?
After Evan explained, Arnold learned that this was a new branch of the Cullon Pirates in Thunder City. Their business was no longer limited to sea and was recruiting new products everywhere. In general, what they did was similar to the Hidden Temple.
Because, a powerful figure came to the pirates in the Coronto pirates.
Evan is very good at speaking. When he went upstairs, he talked freely, and Arnold couldn't interrupt him, explaining his purpose of coming here.
Evan took Arnold to the open-air balcony on the fourth floor. Arnold was also surprised by the scene here: the lights were well controlled, there were many plants around, and there were a few people sitting around the table, there were some red wine and snacks on the table, and the sea view could be seen on the white railings.
"Hey, let's introduce it," Evan patted Arnold's shoulder, "A friend I met before, called...what is it?"
“Arnold.”
“…Yes, Arnold.”
Everyone on the seat expressed their welcome to varying degrees. Judging from their attitude, it can be seen that Evan's status here is quite high.
Meili at the back made a very ugly expression.
These people don't dress like pirates at all, they are very clean and neat, but they are a bit like sailors in regular fleets.
Arnold glanced at Evan with a slanted look. He was a little recognizable person. He remembered that he had never met Evan more than twice, and was put on his shoulders. The embarrassment in his heart was so embarrassing that he had nowhere to say.
Evan doesn't look like a talkative person. Her gray and silver hair hangs on her forehead obediently, giving people a sickly weak air. Her hair color is somewhat similar to Arnold. In addition, her current actions may make people think they are brothers. Moreover, Evan's eyes are extremely rare purple eyes, and her facial features are as delicate as a girl. Such a person should look difficult to get close to.
"Ahem..." Arnold coughed softly.
"Oh, sorry, my friend may want to talk to me alone. You guys will talk first, you guys will talk first." After Evan finished speaking, he took Arnold back and closed the door in the corridor.
"Aren't you used to it? Sorry, after staying with them for a long time, I became like this. You should also know that the relationship between Feng Shen and Thunder God was also very good in the past?"
"No, it doesn't matter..." Arnold thought it was okay, "Don't talk about these things for now. I came here to find you. It may be a bit long to explain. I will slowly say on the way, the master of the Hidden Holy Church wants you to go back with me."
"Ah? Who are you talking about?"
Arnold was about to explain, but Evan then said, "The person who said he wanted to kill Adrian and the entire demon world?"
"...Is the whole world already aware of it?"
"Your people have all gone to the Red Fire Continent to poach people. How can I not know? It is said that the Garcia family in the Red Fire Empire is quite powerful. Behind it is the deadly night shadow, and you have also gotten it?"
“…”
"No, I tell you, there is no need to follow him and be with us. We just came here with a big name and can be called a famous general in the Demon World. Let's stand on the side of the Demon Clan and clean up the most troublesome Lord of the Hidden Holy Hall. You should also know how powerful Adrien is, right?"
Arnold forgot what he was going to say, and he couldn't say a word.
The sound of someone breathing was Merry, but she didn't say anything, and kept looking into Arnold's eyes.
"It's true. Not only does the superpower world know, but also the demon world knows it. They have already made some moves. Some radical factions have come up to force some powerful superpowers to join the demon army. If they refuse, they will be killed. If they confirm that the other party is a person from the Hidden Holy Temple or their accomplices, they will not even give them a chance to live without saying a word."
Arnold's back of his hand trembled. He thought that the person in front of him was a heir who was probably stronger than him. On the other side of the door, there was a famous demon general, who was even more afraid to say a word. If he continued to stick to his position, the consequences could be imagined, but his true intentions did not allow him to obey Evan's words!
"Arnold, if you leave now, we will be enemies!"
Suddenly there was a few seconds of silence, and even the movement outside the door disappeared without a trace, as if they were listening.
After a long time, Arnold clenched his fist and almost struggled to squeeze out his words: "...I'm sorry, I can't abandon my only relatives and friends who are waiting for me to go back. If you are upset by saying this, do whatever you want to do to me."
The air changed immediately.
"You...why did you have to stand aside with Kulori?"
There was only a loud noise behind Evan's door and a large wall were shattered. The electric current burst from Thor's hammer made his ears hurt, and dark clouds on the sea were pressing over.
"This is what you forced me." (To be continued)
