Haunted House Survival System

Chapter 171 The High Priest

Jin Jiu opened his eyes and saw that he was lying on a soft and warm Aino grass bed.Bethel, Yuna, and even the elders were around.

Yuna rushed over, knelt beside Jin Jiu's bed, and shouted excitedly and pleasantly: "Wake up! Mr. Jin Jiu is awake!"

"Uh... I'm sorry, please take care of me." Jin Jiu said in confusion.

The elder couldn't restrain the excitement in his heart, and said, "Mr. Jin Jiu, you saved our elves!"

Jin Jiu remembered that he had injected magic power into the Black Elf Sacred Tree, and asked, "How about that Sacred Tree?"

"It's alive! It's alive! It's growing saplings!!" Yuna cried with excitement.

"Sapling?" Jin Jiu asked unexpectedly.

He thought that he could directly restore the tree to its original state, but it seemed that he was thinking too much.

"With saplings, there is life. The sacred tree will slowly grow up and continue to flourish." Besser saw Jin Jiu's doubts and explained.

"How about... When I recover, I'll type it in again, maybe it can make it grow faster." Jin Jiu always felt a little reconciled.

Just saplings...

"No need, this will consume a lot of your body. And the holy tree will grow up very quickly, it will not take a few years. It's just that the birth of the black elf may be slower, and it will take ten years." The elder said.

"Great, I have a tribe again!" Yuna clapped her hands and shouted.

Besser said dully, "When you have a tribe, you probably won't be friends with me anymore, right?"

Yuna froze for a moment, took his hand and said, "What are you thinking? I will introduce you to every member of my tribe, and then the entire Black Elf clan will be your friend."

"Really? Haha, that's great!" Beth touched his head and laughed a little smugly.

The elder nodded and said: "Yes, the black elves have been resurrected again, it's time to elect an elder. Yuna, no accident, you should be the only candidate for the elder."

"Me? Elder?" Yuna was stunned.

Elder Bai Elf nodded and said, "This is also what the Prophet meant. You will join Mr. Jin Jiu in a short while to participate in the conferring ceremony."

This unexpected joy came so suddenly, Yuna would still be in a sluggish state for a while.

Jin Jiu asked in confusion: "The conferment ceremony? What is that?"

"During the two days when you were in coma, the elves have been busy preparing for your ceremony to confer the title of high priest." Besser said.

"High Priest?" Jin Jiumeng: "I slept for two days? What about the trial of the holy tree?"

Beth, Yuna and the elders all shook their heads, expressing that they didn't know there was such a thing.

[Jin Jiu. 】

The voice of the prophet suddenly sounded.

[You have passed the test of the holy tree, and you will go to the conferring ceremony to become the high priest in a while. 】

"What? How did I pass the test?" Jin Jiu was confused.

[From the day you arrive at the Elf Tribe, the test of the Holy Tree begins for you.In fact, the source of elves you want must gather the power of the four holy trees, otherwise it will be impossible to produce it. 】

"So when I resurrect the Black Elf Sacred Tree, the trial will be considered a success?"

[Yes, but the source of elves can only be given to you after you become a high priest.If you slaughtered other elf groups during the trial, or failed to resurrect the Black Elf Sacred Tree, the trial will be considered a failure. 】

Is it so insidious?

Jin Jiu sweated for himself.

The resurrection of the Black Elf Sacred Tree was just a spur of the moment. If he hadn't had this thought at the time, then his elf origin would have been ruined.

"Then you asked me to increase my magic power to bluff me?"

[No, at the conferring ceremony later, you need to show the golden magic flame to become the high priest. 】

"How can I have any golden magic flame?" Jin Jiu was about to cry but had no tears. He had everything ready and only owed it to the east wind.

Where does he know the golden magic flame technique, at best he has just reached the white flame.

[Don’t underestimate yourself. When you resurrect the Holy Tree, you will continue to absorb the Holy Tree’s imprint, and your magic power will also grow accordingly.If you don’t believe it, you can try it. 】

Jin Jiu began to use his magic power suspiciously, and sure enough, the magic power in his body boiled like a gushing volcano.

Invoking the magic power of the fingertip, a small stream of golden flame rose from the index finger.

The three people present all exclaimed:

"It's the golden flame of the high priest!"

"The golden flame that only the high priest has!"

Jin Jiu was stunned, and waved his hand to the lamp beside the bed. The golden flame entered the lamp from the top of the lampshade and ignited the small stick wick.

The whole room was filled with a kind of golden splendor, which made people unable to help bowing down.

"Detached Magic Flame?" Several people exclaimed.

"Detached magic flame? Could it be that your magic flame can't be separated from the body?" Jin Jiu asked strangely.He just felt that throwing the flame over was the most common operation.

Several elves shook their heads, and the elder said: "The separation of magic flames is a legendary skill. It requires extremely powerful magic power to maintain. Our magic power cannot be separated from the body at all, and can only be blessed in our fists and feet."

Only then did Jin Jiu understand why the red elf leader was so surprised.At that time, he felt that those elves could attack from a long distance, so why did they all rush over.

According to the ceremonial regulations of the elves, Jin Jiu changed into the white robe Yuna gave him, which may be the only clothing of the elves.

It seems that only the high priest has the right to wear clothes.

Everyone prepared him some ornaments made of various plant seeds, flowers and leaves.

Jin Jiu was a little speechless, feeling like an indigenous chief.

Just a few totem facial tattoos.

Just as she was thinking about it, Yuna brought in a small plate with some golden magic powder sprinkled on it.

Sure enough, a few facial lines were drawn on his face.

Yuna also dressed herself up, wearing a purple straw vine ring with some flowers hanging from it.

Jin Jiu followed them out and flew into the distance together.

Come to a large altar, on the ground in the middle of the altar is a relief of the holy tree.On the opposite side stood a dozen or so red elves, staring at them covetously.On the right is a group of gray-skinned elves.

Yuna silently walked to the left alone.

After a while, a horn sounded.

The gray elves were divided into two groups. From the back, two gray elves came up from the stage to sit on a grand master's chair, with a gray-skinned middle-aged woman about the same age as Xiao Minru sitting on it.But her wings, legs and one hand were gone.

Jin Jiu took a closer look and saw that even her eyes were sewn shut with several threads, which looked hideous and terrifying.

Could this be the prophet?
The woman nodded at Jin Jiu—she was indeed a prophet.

The prophet is actually a member of the gray elves?
What on earth had she gone through to make her like this?
"Let's start the ceremony." The prophet said slowly with a hoarse voice.

Jin Jiu walked in front of the prophet according to the elder's explanation.

The Prophet nodded and said to him: "Jin Jiu has already qualified as the high priest of my elves, and now I entrust the power of high priest to you. I hope you will devote yourself to the prosperity and development of my elves from now on..."

"Wait a minute!" The elder of the red elf suddenly stood up and interrupted the prophet's words.

Everyone looked at him.

"This person is an outsider, not from our elves at all, how can he become a high priest?" The elder of the red elves pointed at Jin Jiu, furious.

The prophet said slowly: "There seems to be no such rule in our elves, right? Anyone with ability can become a high priest. I remember that the previous generation of high priests also said so."

The red elf elder reprimanded: "Is he an elf, how could he have the ability of a high priest?"

A smile appeared on the corner of the prophet's mouth, and he said, "Do you want to try?"
