Green Monster Epic

Chapter 1021: Meeting

The Assassin Guild's method of entering its demi-plane is quite convenient and feasible: a teleportation array that can be moved and taken away at any time is linked to another fixed array within the demi-plane.

As long as sufficient resources and energy are provided, one can enter it through the means of setting up the array.

Of course, the activation cost of the teleportation also needs to be paid separately by Allen, but for Allen, who has just made a fortune, this cost is completely insignificant.

A set of seven master-level recipes sold very well; regardless of the strength of their tribes, the members of the Mansa Wilderness Alliance each invested a considerable amount of resources and funds to exchange for a set.

Even if some tribes are unwilling to invest too much in magical cuisine, with the purchase discount that the Green Field Tribe gives to the alliance members, they can turn around and sell this set of recipes to other civilizations and make a considerable profit, which can be said to be an absolutely profitable deal.

Some other powerful forces and families in the alliance also purchased a set of recipes, as well as the accompanying Complete Culinary Arts and the new edition of Innovative Culinary Techniques.

According to the statistics of the Oak Leaf Trading Company and the Green Field Three Tribes Joint Chamber of Commerce, apart from the discounted recipes for alliance members, the wilderness forces actually purchased nearly five hundred sets of recipes.

Unexpectedly, among the seemingly weak wilderness tribes, there are indeed many families and forces with some strength!

As for the forces and kingdoms under the four major civilization systems of the two continents, they would not let go of such valuable things.

Even if they sold them at a higher price to some hostile forces, the Oak Leaf Trading Company still sold all two thousand sets of recipes that the Green Field Tribe had entrusted to them.

It's just a pity that Allen and the others didn't prepare enough magic parchment when cooking at that time, and the remaining small portion of the prepared recipes had to be kept as special products for their own chamber of commerce for future use.

If they want to produce another batch of recipes in the future, it will depend on whether Allen has free time, or whether a new master-level magic chef is born in the tribe.

Huge resources and funds were continuously sent to the Green Field Tribe, but because the Oak Leaf Trading Company's focus is now in Mansa City, part of the resources and funds obtained from the auction of recipes were also deposited by Allen in the Trading Company's bank for future needs, such as Allen's rental this time.

Just after Allen decided on the time to enter the demi-plane, Garvin began to prepare to clean up the members and valuable resources in the demi-plane.

Although Garvin had already informed Allen of the restrictions on using the demi-plane in the terms of the agreement, since the other party chose to prepare the meeting place in such a costly and elaborate way, the possibility of them complying with the terms set by the guild in the future is almost zero.

For this reason, Garvin and the others needed to prepare in advance, such as strengthening the barrier protection of the demi-plane, and relocating or hiding important buildings and facilities.

In fact, the Assassin Guild's willingness to rent the demi-plane to Allen brought them far less funds and resources than the energy and resources they invested in it, but in order to gain Allen's friendship, the guild's top management not only made an exception to rent out their most important asset to him, but also made a losing deal for him.

Who asked this hobgoblin to have already shown the potential to ascend to that mountain peak?

The friendship and favor of a supreme being cannot be exchanged for any amount of money.

Moreover, even if the other party fails to reach the top, in the next few hundred years of secretly accumulating energy, as the well-deserved number one person in the wilderness, his influence on the alliance will inevitably reach a peak; and that former number one person in the wilderness has also reached the age to retire, and the future will inevitably be the time for this hobgoblin to stand at the center of power.

To ascend to the mountain peak, the preparation and accumulation required cannot be done in a short period of time.

The most basic thing, such as the number and quality of believers, affects the output of the power of faith.

With the Natural God Temple's strict defense against Allen and the Food God Church, accumulating enough divine power to ignite the divine fire in one step will probably take more than a thousand years, enough for the guild to recover the cost of this early investment.

Allen and Garvin stood side by side at the entrance of a stone forest where strange peaks and rocks grew, quietly waiting for the guests invited by Allen to come to the meeting, and Garvin's existence was actually similar to a neutral third-party identity.

Having them host and arrange the meeting place can dispel the suspicion between Allen and the attendees, and also prevent the opponent from setting up traps.

This is also one of the reasons why Allen chose to rent the Assassin Guild's demi-plane.

The sun rose from the east, and soon it had risen to its highest point.

The meeting time agreed upon by Allen was not far away, but the guests he invited had not yet shown any trace until now.

"Isn't Lord Allen afraid that they won't come?"

Garvin had been quietly observing the young hobgoblin saint who was less than five hundred years old beside him.

As a habit of the mage profession, there was always a demon with a small fork in his mind whispering temptations in his ear, making him unable to resist the urge to dissect and study the hobgoblin.

However, strong reason kept reminding Garvin of a fact: even if he replicated ten identical existences in front of him, he might not be able to pose a substantial threat to the hobgoblin's life, and he might even fall under the opponent's heavy sword instead.

"It doesn't matter much whether they come or not.

At most, I'll just go to their door myself, with a little more danger."

Allen shook his head and replied calmly.

Since challenging the two human saints in the south this time, Allen has had a clearer understanding of his current strength: there are not many people in this world who can pose a threat to him.

Even if a deity's incarnation descends, he is enough to contend with it.

When there is enough strong strength as support, Allen's already small amount of unease and anxiety also disappeared, and many problems and contradictions that seemed very big before are not without solutions now.

"They're here!"

Just as the two were preparing to continue chatting, more than a dozen powerful auras suddenly rose from the distant place invisible below the horizon, and quickly flew towards the direction where Allen and the others were.

In order to respond to the other party, and also to point out his specific location to the other party, Allen simultaneously raised his substantial powerful aura, which immediately made Garvin, who was not far away, feel like he was sitting on pins and needles.

Mental warnings kept ringing, and the instinctive self-defense impulse, as well as the passive magic special effects on his equipment, were also eager to move.

"I thank Archbishop Garfield and all the bishops for giving me this face by coming to this remote wilderness."

The guests invited by Allen at great expense turned out to be the powerful figures of the four major churches, with Garfield, whom Allen directly called by name, being the highest in status, being the Green-robed Archbishop Minister of the Sacred Rites Department of the Natural Church, and also the nominal first-in-line successor to the Papacy of the Natural Church.

Accompanying him was Medwyn, the head of the Sacred Affairs Department of the Church of the Silent Forest, nominally the third most powerful figure in the church; and Elijah, the leader of the Dark Deaconate of the Brotherhood of Beasts, also the third most powerful figure in the Brotherhood…

The fact that these heavyweight figures appeared together in this wilderness solely because of a letter of invitation from Alan shows the weight this Saint-level Berserker carries in the major churches.

"Clan Chief Alan has requested a meeting with our church, and we believe it must be about something important, so we naturally dare not neglect it."

Garfield is a troll demigod born and raised in the wilderness. Although his appearance may not conform to popular aesthetics, he possesses a convincing air of composure and tranquility, which cannot help but make people feel a sense of goodwill and a desire to be close to him.

He wears a green divine robe, which, combined with his bronze skin, is quite harmonious. However, the most eye-catching feature is the pair of pure white wings that seem to grow from his back, emitting a faint divine radiance, forming a milky white halo that is not dazzling but irresistibly makes people yearn for it.

Although the wings are not spread, the unrestrained powerful energy fluctuations reveal their extraordinary nature. It is none other than the famous artifact of the Church of Nature—the Angel Wings.

To think that they would even use this artifact to meet with Alan. Combined with Garfield's own strength as a demigod high priest, he can be regarded as a Saint. Behind these powerful bishops, there were also several unfamiliar powerhouses with equally unfathomable strength. Facing Alan's abyss-like powerful aura, none of them showed any abnormal behavior. Based on intuition, Alan believed that there must be a true Saint-level existence among them.

"Indeed, there are important matters to discuss with everyone. However, this is not the right place for our real discussion. Why don't you all follow me to another place to talk?"

Alan nodded slightly and then turned his head towards Garvin, giving him a look.

Having received the reminder, the demigod mage Garvin stretched out his right hand and snapped his fingers gently. Behind him, a faint magical aura rippled, and then a hexagonal magic circle with six mithril pillars slanted into the ground, supporting a surface five or six meters wide, appeared before everyone's eyes.

When Garfield and the others saw Alan and Garvin standing together before, they had some doubts in their hearts, but now they felt somewhat relieved. However, afterward, these people's eyes showed some other expressions.

"Please rest assured, everyone. On behalf of the Assassin Guild, I guarantee to you that we are only providing the venue for this meeting and are a completely neutral third party. Lord Alan has rented a demiplane from our guild as the venue for this meeting."

Garvin understood what they were thinking and explained, "Lord Alan believes that this meeting requires a more secretive space. No matter who chooses the venue, the other party will be uneasy. Therefore, he has entrusted our Assassin Guild to arrange this demiplane meeting."

"In the name of my guild, I guarantee to everyone that Lord Alan himself has never entered the demiplane owned by our guild until now."

Since Alan had spent the money, he naturally had to enjoy the service. And to dispel the doubts in the hearts of the powerhouses of the Church of Nature's camp and be willing to follow Alan through the teleportation array to the demiplane was also part of the service.

"Alright."

Having their doubts resolved, Garfield, Medwyn, Elijah, and the other leaders exchanged glances and then nodded in a deep voice.

The Assassin Guild's consistently neutral attitude has always been their way of survival and continuation to this day. Now that Alan has invited them as a potential guarantee, then the people of the Natural Order do not have to worry about internal traps designed by Alan.

The only thing they were more worried about was perhaps why Alan would choose to discuss matters with them in a demiplane, combined with Alan's sudden challenge two or three months ago and the result, it was inevitable that these powerhouses would have other thoughts.

"However, each time we activate this teleportation array, it can only teleport up to six powerhouses above the demigod level. Therefore, apart from Lord Alan, High Priest Garfield, you will probably have to re-select a few representatives to enter."

Since he was maintaining neutrality, Garvin naturally would not allow the solitary Alan to suffer too much of a loss in strength. Although Alan himself had not mentioned this request, Garvin took the initiative to make arrangements in order to continue laying a solid foundation of friendship with this Saint.

Upon hearing this, Garfield and the others turned to Alan and said, "Please allow us to discuss it, Clan Chief Alan."

"Please."

Alan didn't care. He had made sufficient mental preparations for this meeting, and he could withstand whatever the situation might become next. As for the convenience that Garvin had secured for him, Alan actually felt that it was a bit timid. However, after all, it was just goodwill, and the consumption of activating this magic array was all from his own funds. Saving some expenses and investing it in the construction of the tribe could be considered a profit.

The group walked a hundred meters away, and a shield isolating sound and prying eyes rose up. After a brief exchange, they quickly determined the candidates.

"We have decided."

Garfield spoke on behalf of the church, pointing to Medwyn and three other unfamiliar powerhouses next to him, and said, "The five of us will enter the demiplane together to discuss matters with you."

"Bishop Elijah and the others will stay behind with Lord Garvin and wait outside."

"Alright."

Alan smiled politely and accepted it calmly.

"Please trouble Garvin to activate the teleportation array for us."

Since the candidates had been decided, Alan no longer delayed and directly turned to greet Garvin.

Garvin nodded upon seeing this. His handsome face suddenly became serious. He held a staff in his right hand and chanted a long incantation. Countless elemental spirits flew towards his hand.

"…opek^%…"

As the last syllable fell, the vigorous magic power accumulated at the front end of the staff was also cast towards the magic circle made of mithril. A colorful halo rose and fell as the patterns on the magic circle flickered.

Buzz!!!

A rainbow-shaped archway formed, and the teleportation array had been completed. After successfully casting the spell, Garvin's solemn face relaxed slightly, and he made an inviting gesture: "Please."

Alan cupped his hands in thanks and was the first to step into the rainbow archway. The figure disappeared as soon as he stepped onto the hexagonal magic circle tray, apparently having been teleported to the space of the demiplane.

The five of Garfield followed closely behind and did not delay for long. After a dozen breaths, their figures also disappeared from this land, and the rainbow, which had become dim, dissipated silently after the last person entered, its filled energy exhausted.
