Haunted House Survival System

Chapter 164 The Prophet
"You know how to speak?" the elder said in surprise every word.It's like talking to a foreigner who says he can speak Chinese.Everyone slowed down their speech.

"Yes. Hello, elder of the elves. May I ask why you let me come here?" Jin Jiu smiled politely at the elder.

The elder couldn't help but marveled when he heard that he spoke Elvish so well, just like the locals, and his speech became normal.

"All of us elves rely on holy trees to survive. The tree you see behind me is the holy tree of our white elves. In other elven territories, there are also their own holy trees. Originally, we elves were all humble. A polite race, but since the high priest suddenly disappeared, every elven race hopes that the sacred tree of their own race can take the position of the main tree, and a dispute has started."

The elder talked slowly, with worry in his eyes.Just listen to him continue: "We white elves have no desire to compete for this main tree, but because the prophet has predicted that the person with the mark of the holy tree is the key to solving this dispute. We have been looking for, I finally found you in the space of the human race today."

"Resolve the dispute?" Jin Jiu thought. When Xiao Minru gave him the mark, she didn't say she would deal with this matter.

Besse flew back from behind the sacred tree and said, "Elder, the prophet said that she understood, and she said to arrange accommodation for the guests first."

"Oh, okay." The elder seemed to respect the prophet's words, and hurriedly ordered Luo Er: "Luo Er, make arrangements for the guests first, and we will talk after the guests have rested."

After all, he took a few more glances at the lines on Jin Jiu's chest.

Jin Jiu followed Luo Er into a clean thatched hut, although the things inside were simple but everything was available.

Luo Er bid farewell to Jin Jiu, and closed the door behind him.

Since Jin Jiu came here, he has been in a daze.The environment here is too different from that of the human race, and he has not fully adapted to it.

The sleeping area seemed to be a cave, with soft straw mats and no human beds.

Jin Jiu sat in and tried it, just enough to lie down.

Just when he was looking at the things around him curiously, a voice suddenly sounded in his head:
[Hello, foreign guests. 】

Fuck, the system popped up.This startled Jin Jiu, and asked tremblingly: "You...are from the elves..."

[Yes, I am the prophet.It seems that you are indeed the person we are looking for. 】

Xiao Minru once said that the existence of the six clans who are equivalent to ghost kings will be guided by this system.Jin Jiu was worried about what to do when he met other cheaters, but he didn't expect that the cheater of the elves was himself?

"But, I'm just a human being, and I really don't know much about the internal affairs of your elves."

[The moment you have the imprint of the holy tree, you already have the identity of our elves, otherwise you would not be able to come here. 】

"But... But, I don't know anything, so what can I do?"

【Hehe, I know the purpose of your coming.If you can resolve the dispute between our clans, I promise to give you a drop of the source of elves. 】

"Uh..." Jin Jiu is very sensitive about this kind of transaction because he is always cheated by Xiao Minru.

After hesitating for a moment, he said: "That's not fair, I don't know what kind of thing your source of elves is, in case you give me something else, or it is a street stall all over the street. Ask me If I do something for you..."

[Street stalls?Hehe, young man, don't be so naive.The source of the elves has gathered the essence of our elves for millions of years, and any drop can drive everyone here crazy.If you don't believe me, you can ask those people outside. 】

"Youth? I'm 25 years old anyway. As for calling it that?"

【The lifespan of our elves is much longer than that of your humans. The elder you met just now is more than 1000 years old, and that Bethel is also about 50 years old. I call you a boy at your age to flatter you. 】

Jin Jiuyi was stunned and said, "That Bethel looks like a child, you said he is 50 years old?"

【Yes. 】

"Okay, then what do you want me to do? You just say which clan's holy tree you want the main tree to be, and I'll just say it when the time comes."

[Actually, it doesn’t matter which one is the main tree.I hope you can pass the challenge of the Holy Tree and become the high priest. 】

"What did you say?" Jin Jiu was taken aback and said, "Let the race become the high priest? Do you want me to be the target of public criticism?"

High Priest, sounds like an awesome position, not to mention whether he can do it, the people who covet this position are probably enough for him.

[That's why I want you to pass the challenge of the holy tree.This is also the agreement I have reached with the prophets of your human race. 】

The prophet of the human race, could it be that she was talking about Xiao Minru?

This guy didn't know anything before.

The words before leaving moved Jin Jiu for a long time. It turned out that she had known for a long time that the real danger lay in the challenge of the holy tree.

"But, my skills can't be used by elves, what can I do?"

[You don't have to worry about this, the magic power of our elves relies on the magic powder given by the holy tree. Since you have the imprint of the holy tree on your body, you can definitely use it. 】

"Ang? But I...why didn't I feel it?" Jin Jiu said, trying to stimulate the aura in his body, but it didn't move at all.

【You have to try to sense the holy tree and respond to it】

"It's so abstract, how could I..." Before he finished speaking, Jin Jiu unconsciously moved his breath along the warm current imprinted on his chest, as if there was a force flowing through his body.

【Do you feel it?That is the magic of the elves. 】

Jin Jiu sensed this force and drew it to his hands.

On the palm of his hand, a ball of orange flame immediately appeared, and he was so scared that he quickly extinguished it.

[You are doing well, you are indeed talented. 】

Jin Jiu shook his hands, but they didn't feel hot.

[This is the five-color flame of our elves. The orange flame you condensed just now is the lowest level. If the magic power is stronger, there are red, cyan, white, black and gold at the top.You just practice in your room for a week, and a week later, the holy tree challenge begins. 】

Jin Jiu was still trying to condense his magic power, and a flame appeared in his hand again, this time it was red.

【Why are you so proficient at concentrating magic power?It should be a powerful character in the human race. 】

Jin Jiu did not extinguish the flame in his hand, but condensed the magic power in his hand more, and the flame slowly changed from red to blue.

After extinguishing the flame, Jin Jiu said: "There is no such thing as a human being who is not powerful, but he is just a small official in the underworld after death."

[Most of your human race can live forever, but if we elves die, we can only become one body of the holy tree. 】

"How can I live forever? Human beings are very fragile."

[The so-called death of you humans is just the soul entering the underworld.After passing through the underworld, one can return to the underworld. Isn’t this eternal life?Human beings are the only ones who can live forever among the six races, and they are the most powerful race. 】

Yang, Yin.

If she is referring to the soul, it seems that this understanding is irrefutable.

Jin Jiudao: "You said that the elves became a part of the sacred tree, so if there is a catastrophe and the birth rate cannot be guaranteed, wouldn't there be a lot of fewer people?"

[We elves do not have so-called fertility, all elves are genderless, we were born in the holy tree, just like the fruit of your humans. 】

No wonder these elves are always seen as neither male nor female.
