That's a fake elf

"See for yourself!"

Not long after, Cruise returned to Leon with a mission scroll and magic book.

After Li Ang read the contents on the scroll, he pointed at the black magic book and twitched the corner of his mouth:

"Does anyone believe such nonsense?"

"Haha, take a look first and then make a conclusion." Cruise rolled his eyes and pointed at the magic book on Li Ang's right hand.

After just briefly browsing the magic book for a while, Li Ang felt that his three views had been subverted.

This is a book that completely goes against common sense and can destroy the clergy's outlook on life.

In this book, it is recorded a ritual to bring the gods one believes in to the present world, and then use the power of the evil god to obliterate and replace them.

But Li Ang only read it for a while and found that the book had undergone many deletions and was missing many important parts.

If someone really performs the ritual according to the contents of this book, they will definitely die without a complete body.

"After reading it, what do you think?" Cruz asked.

"The ritual requires the preparation of materials, sacrifices, and catalysts. It cannot be completed by one person. If you ask me to hunt down this fallen druid, he should have accomplices, right?" Li Ang took a deep breath and said.

"Well, this guy got funding from the Vastians and joined a cult called [L'lyeh], and he conned many people into joining it."

Cruise nodded and said with a wry smile:

"If you hadn't accidentally broke into the Vastians' slave-catching activities before and asked me to start screening people within the Druid sect, he wouldn't have suddenly jumped out."

"Teacher, is the original copy of this magic book still in Fanasier?" Li Ang suddenly asked.

"How do you know this isn't the original one?" Cruise frowned.

"I have been with you for three years, and I still know some knowledge about magic circles." Li Ang's eyes wandered.

Since accepting part of the knowledge about the evil god transmitted by Nyarlathotep, his knowledge reserve has been greatly improved.

Although these knowledge cannot be integrated without study, it is still possible to distinguish their effects.

"Forget it, if you don't say it, there must be a reason. I believe you." Looking at Leon's expression, Cruise sighed and said:

"In fact, we have a collection of equipment that contains the will of the evil god."

"Because they have powerful magic and can confuse people's hearts, they have been sealed under the World Tree in the Mist Mountains since they were captured, and are guarded by the dragons and high elves."

When Li Ang heard this, he suddenly fell silent.

Li Ang has already seen how powerful those weapons and equipment that harbor the will of the evil god are.

If he didn't also possess the high-level power of the old rulers in his body, it would definitely be difficult to resist that kind of mental erosion.

If a mortal stays with this kind of equipment for a long time, his body and spirit will inevitably be alienated and become a dependent of the evil god.

"Teacher, can't these things be handed over to others for use or destruction?" Li Ang rolled his eyes and asked in a low voice.

"I'm telling you, don't take any chances with these things. Their former owners were all top demigods, but without exception they all degenerated and were eventually hunted down by the retinue of the gods."

Cruise's eyes were sharp, he glared at Li Ang, and said in a deep voice:

"When you arrive in Peliano, take this scroll and magic book and go to the local Druid Temple to find Druid Elder Rumia. She will help you."

"I know." Li Ang curled his lips and put the magic book and mission scroll into the system space.

Xiongyue City, the City of Competition

As the capital of Pegliano, Xiongyue City is the largest city in the East. Towers and buildings can be seen everywhere, giving Li Ang a feeling of returning to modern times.

The spacious bluestone road is clean and tidy, large enough for eight carriages to travel simultaneously.

In addition to armored patrol soldiers, the busy streets are filled with travelers and businessmen from various countries, as well as professionals wearing various weapons.

Whenever a professional wearing a golden crown badge walks through the street, pedestrians will cast their eyes with admiration and envy.

In the continent of Enroth, the golden crown badge represents the highest honor obtained in the Warriors Festival Arena. It contains the power of the gods and will enter the Hall of Valor together with the death of the holder.

In Pegliano, professionals wearing golden crown badges are far more respected than senior clergy.

Just because the patron saint of this country is the goddess Ceres, who represents the spirit of freedom and competition.

According to legend, the goddess Ceres is a hybrid of a giant and an elf. She is proficient in various melee and long-range weapons. Even without using any divine power, she can kill gods with just a giant sword.

In the Age of Heroes, in order to expel the evil god and his relatives and free countless enslaved races from the control of the evil god, she selflessly taught her skills to humans, elves, and humanoid creatures.

With the birth of a large number of demigods who mastered divine skills, even the gods who originally relied only on divine power to dominate the nine realms had to hone their martial arts.

At the end of the Age of Heroes, the night elves and humans who were the followers of the goddess Ceres worked together to establish Xiongyue City in the south of the Zod Grassland, and thus developed the Kingdom of Peliano.

Because the kingdom has a vast territory and incorporates many races, covering plains, mountains, basins, swamps and other terrains, there is not only the Druid Temple in Peliano like Fanathil.

In addition to Xiongyue City, which is mainly dedicated to the goddess Ceres, most cities built in other regions also have their own gods.

Such as [God of the Forest] Gru, [God of Dance and Music] Thalia, [Goddess of Harvest] Freya, [God of Light] Helios, etc.

In Xiongyue City, the capital of Pegliano, you can see almost all professions and races on the continent.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!"

Looking at the professionals and aliens everywhere, Perona screamed repeatedly. If Asterea hadn't hugged her, she might have been desperate to find someone to fight.

"A few of you are looking for a hotel!"

Just when Li Ang was wondering whether to go to Glei City to find his mother first or go to the arena to sign up first, a 1.3-meter-tall girl with blond cat ears and a blue beret jumped in front of everyone.

"How do you know?" Li Ang looked at Kitten Girl with interest.

"Hey, you guys smell like strong men, you must be a contestant."

The kitten girl handed out the colorful flyers in her arms to everyone, glanced at Perona who was staring at her ears, stuck out her tongue and said:

"The Warriors' Day Rodeo is about to begin, and most of the hotels in the city are already full."

"Unless you are locals, you will have to live on a farm outside the city. But from outside the city to the city, it takes more than an hour just to walk, which will affect the condition of the contestants."

"That makes sense. Do you have any recommendations?" Li Ang said with a smile.

"Hey, Diona, the waitress and bartender at Cat Tail Hotel, recommends Cat Tail Hotel to you."

The little cat girl held up the beret on her head and said proudly:

"During the Warriors Festival, all guests who hold this flyer can enjoy a [-]% discount on accommodation at the Cat Tail Hotel and a half-price discount on the second glass of wine."

"Every morning, noon and evening, the first ten guests who order can get a glass of Diona's juice drink!"

"What do you think?" Li Ang looked at the dim sky, then at the graffiti-like leaflet in his hand, and turned to Gao Lan and asked.

"How far is your hotel from the arena?" Gao Lan said in a deep voice.

"It's only 20 minutes away from the arena. If you need a carriage, Cat Tail Hotel can arrange it for you in advance!"

Diona held on to her beret and said with a smile.

"Good service. My brother and I will take the others to check in for accommodation first. You can sign up with Lona." Gao Lan nodded towards Li Ang.

"Well, Diona, this is 200 gold, which covers the accommodation and food expenses for us. If it's not enough, we will make up for it when we leave."

Li Ang took out a money bag from the system space and handed it to Diona.

"That's enough, that's enough. Our hotel is of high quality and low price."

"A luxury single room only costs 10 silver coins a day."

"A roasted whole lamb only costs 60 silver coins, and a cup of Diona's special blend only costs 5 silver coins."

"Competition tournaments usually take less than a month. There are only ten of you, so you will definitely not be able to use them all by the end."

When she opened the purse and saw the gold coins shining inside, Diona smiled so hard that her eyes narrowed like moons.

"You're overthinking this. This is our food and accommodation expenses for three days." Li Ang rolled his eyes.

"Ah hahahaha, the guests really know how to joke..." Diona straightened the beret that almost fell to the ground and smiled awkwardly.

Cuckoo cuckoo

At this moment everyone turned their attention to Asterea.

"I haven't eaten since I ate a lamb, two roast chickens, and thirty fishes in the morning. It's been such a long time. Of course I'm hungry!"

Asterea's face turned red.

"Okay, I take back what I just said. Cat Tail Hotel will definitely make all distinguished guests feel at home." Diona stared at Asterea closely, her eyes sparkling.
