Half Elf Ranger

Chapter 24 God Killer

Winter City.

Temple of Oghma, god of knowledge.

The soft radiance of the magic everlasting lamp dispelled all the darkness.

This temple shrouded in divine light is like a library, full of acolytes of research knowledge and all kinds of books, maps, and scrolls.

There is a strong atmosphere of books everywhere, as if to make people indulge in the ocean of knowledge.

A high-ranking priest was wearing a sacrificial robe full of scholarly temperament, holding a golden holy emblem carved with a blank scroll, standing in front of the statue of Oghma in the center of the hall, praying devoutly.

"Chaos...is approaching, where will the Temple of Knowledge go?" the senior priest looked at the statue and muttered to himself.

Oghma is a god of the absolute neutral alignment, which determines that the Temple of Knowledge can gain a foothold in a country ruled by the good alignment, or in an evil dark area.

The future of Winter City is not important to them, but there is always a choice to make.

"The descendants of the godslayers will not fall..."

During the devout prayers of the senior priest, after an unknown amount of time, a faint voice sounded from the bottom of his heart, awakening the priest.

"My lord!"

The high-ranking priest showed surprise, and immediately knelt down to the statue.

The image of Oghma, the god of knowledge, on the material plane is usually a handsome adventurer wearing elaborate and ornate armor and carrying a beautiful-sounding snowwood harp.

At this time, the tall statue was vaguely coated with a layer of golden light, and the high-ranking priest knelt down and bowed his head, still feeling a pair of eyes full of majesty, as if watching from the distant kingdom of God.

"But, they are godslayers..." the high-ranking priest hesitated for a moment, and said slowly.

"Inheritance of knowledge is more important than everything!" The god's solemn voice seemed to approach from a distance, echoing in the heart of the senior priest.

Then the golden brilliance of the idol gradually dimmed.

The senior priest stood up regretfully, and the statue of Oghma in the hall had returned to normal.

As a priest, being able to communicate so directly with the gods he serves is simply a dream.

"The Knights of the Temple! All dispatched!" The high-ranking priest immediately issued an order to the message stone in his hand.

……

The deepest part of the Black Pearl Forest.

A tall and straight oak forest on the hill was wrapped in night.

In the old oak forest.

An archdruid wears armor that looks like leaves and a wooden helmet carved with oak leaves.

I saw him gently sprinkle the powder made of oak fruit and the spring water soaked in the parasitic leaves of Dendrobium all over his body.

Then he sat cross-legged under an ancient moss-stained oak tree, holding a shimmering oak holy emblem, with a solemn look on his face.

This is the nocturnal prayer ceremony of the Temple of Nature, which allows devout believers to converse with the gods or bestow grace.

"The great god of nature, the father of the oak tree! The hobgoblin Hruk has destroyed the balance of nature, and Winter City is a descendant of the godslayer. How should we choose?" A trace of confusion appeared in the eyes of the archdruid.

God killer!
In the catastrophe of the saints, a crazy organization that makes the gods fear!

A cool breeze blew by, and the old oak forest gently swayed its lush branches and leaves, making a rattling sound.

The small animals sleeping around in the middle of the night, feeling the strong natural atmosphere, all opened their eyes and gathered towards the ancient oak forest.

"Balancing nature is our mission!"

The ancient oak forest was shrouded in a layer of pale green light, and a hazy and illusory figure appeared in the gently swaying oak forest.

Silvanus, the God of Nature, is a wise and fatherly deity, one of the chief gods of the ancient nature pantheon, and one of the most powerful gods in the multiverse.

He is revered as the father of the oak tree, the father of the forest, the father of the trees, the father of nature and so on.

This is a great god!

Also a kind elder!
But when he has to maintain the balance of nature, he will be uncharacteristically indifferent, and when he finds someone who dares to threaten the wild land, he will even show terrible anger!

In the oak forest, the small animals that are constantly gathering are bathed in the light green natural atmosphere, and the wild eyes begin to gradually transform into the light of wisdom.

The archdruid immediately got up and bowed devoutly: "Natural balance is more important than everything else!"

The breeze gradually calmed down, and the light green light slowly dissipated. The eyes of the little animals shone with wisdom and spirituality, and they scattered away quietly.

"Hruk hobgoblin has destroyed the balance of nature, and the winter stalkers are dispatched to drive them all out of the Black Pearl Forest!"

The archdruid's muddy eyes became as sharp as knives, and a curved oak staff appeared out of nowhere in his hand. He lightly pointed towards the night sky, and invisible sparkles continuously spread to the surroundings.

In the thick night, the dense black pearl forest.

Thousands of beasts are galloping, and flocks of eagles are soaring.

……

The top floor of the Wizard's Tower.

The guardian of the radiance, the legendary wizard Kaladna, with his haggard hands trembling slightly, gently stroked the crystal ball suspended in mid-air.

Looking at the picture in the crystal ball, he knelt on the ground excitedly, crying: "It turns out...the ancestors never...abandoned us."

They are the descendants of the Godslayers, a powerful organization that even the gods are afraid of. They always thought that they were a group of people who were abandoned in the turbulent and chaotic era.

Tarling:

The divine power field has disappeared!
The energy consumption of the element pool has returned to normal!
Residual energy: 30%!

Taring's mechanical cold voice sounded.

Kaladna regained his indifferent expression again, a cold light flashed in his cloudy eyes, and then said in a serious tone: "Stop teleporting to another dimension! Activate the reserve energy!"

Tarling:

The interdimensional teleportation has been interrupted!

Activating reserve energy...

The bottom of the wizard tower.

A group of high-ranking wizards sat cross-legged beside the square pool emitting light blue elemental energy, closing their eyes and meditating.

Suddenly, a cold mechanical voice sounded:
Enable backup energy!

All the high-ranking wizards suddenly opened their eyes, and each of them held a crystal of crystal elements in their hands.

As the elemental crystals continued to flicker, the elemental energy radiating from the high-ranking wizard frantically converged towards the boiling elemental pool.

The top floor of the wizard tower.

Tarling:

元素池正在充能：45%55%70%……95%……100%！

The element pool is fully charged!
Wizard Kaladna stared at the floating crystal ball, and said coldly: "Start the Construct Golem Legion!"

Tarling:

The army of clay golems is ready!

The Stone Golem Squad is ready!
The Iron Golem Squad is ready!

The transmission channel has been opened!

Executing precise delivery to construct the Golem Legion...
