As a villain, I really can't become stronger anymore

That fallen leaf made all the elves panic and regarded it as a symbol of disaster and destruction.

You must know that for eight thousand years, the Mother Tree of All Things has been evergreen. No matter spring, summer, autumn, or winter, no matter what year or month, it is always green, and there has never been any dead leaves or the like.

No elf knew what this dead leaf represented, but panic spread involuntarily among the elves.

Some elves said that it was the decay within the ethnic group that aroused the wrath of the Mother Goddess. This fallen leaf symbolized that the Mother Goddess would impose divine punishment and abandon the elves.

There are rumors that the Mother Tree of All Things is the incarnation of the Mother Goddess of All Things, and this fallen leaf symbolizes that the Mother Goddess has begun to decline.

Various rumors made the already panicky mood in the Elf Forest become even more anxious. Some powerful and powerful elves gathered together to discuss how to solve the elven disaster.

A country cannot live without a ruler for a day.

They plan to first select a powerful and respected elf to command all the tribesmen and gather all the power of the Church of the Mother Goddess to jointly deal with the upcoming disaster.

Then elect a great saint to assist the Pope in his actions.

Nominally, all believers can participate in voting, but in fact the candidates are selected from several major forces, and believers do not have much choice.

Hefelson, who served as the high priest at that time, was one of them.

In addition to Hefelson, there was also the husband of the Elf Queen at the time.

The head of the Samus family, who is praised as having the most noble bloodline among the elves, has had descendants selected to become popes seven times in the past eight thousand years.

There is the son of the previous old pope who is known as the number one master of the younger generation of elves.

Every candidate represents a powerful force.

After a long period of wrangling and fierce competition, the person who finally succeeded in ascending to the throne of the Pope was the husband of the Elf Queen at that time, and the Elf Queen herself also successfully became the Great Saint.

For the elves, it was the most special state in eight thousand years, with the integration of politics and religion and a high degree of centralization.

On the surface, it seems that the rule of the elves has not been greatly affected, and everything is no different from usual. But on the other hand, disasters are beginning to gradually breed.

As the first dead leaves of the Mother Tree appeared, more and more leaves began to turn yellow, and even some branches began to rot.

The Elf Queen and the Pope of that generation tried to completely control the power of the entire Elf clan, and even tried to bring the Elf clan under the control of the family for generations to come. They used the excuse of investigating the withering of the Mother Tree of All Things to get involved.

In less than a year, more than three thousand elves were killed. The excuse was that these elves had said bad things about the Mother Goddess of All Things behind their backs. The withering of the Mother Goddess of All Things was inseparable from the blasphemy of these elves. Only by killing all the elves who blaspheme the Mother Goddess of All Things can the anger of the gods be appeased.

And these more than three thousand so-called blasphemous elves are actually political enemies who have a bad relationship with the Elf Queen and the Pope of the Church of the Mother Goddess of All Things.

They even plundered 999 boys and girls from all over the place and held them as human sacrifices.

In a short period of time, the huge Elf Forest has been turned into a mess.

Seeing that the elves would never be able to regain their past glory if they kept going on like this, Hefelson, as the high priest, finally couldn't sit still.

Although the high priest has a respected position in the church, he has always been responsible for some activities such as sacrificial rituals and has no actual power. But at the moment when Hefelson made a bold move, many elves found out about the high priest's identity. How terrifying is the strength.

The realm of legendary peak.

It even surpasses this level of combat power.

Even if the Pope and the Queen joined forces, Hefelson could easily suppress them.

The power system that the Pope and the Queen had worked so hard to build collapsed in the face of absolute power. No matter how many troops and elf knights there were, they were like chickens and dogs in front of Hefferson, and they were not worth mentioning at all.

In a short period of time, there were countless casualties.

That year, the Elf Forest lost its original crispness and was replaced by a red color like blood.

Since then, Hefelson has become the de facto master of the Elf Forest.

He randomly grabbed a princess from the royal family, inherited the position of queen, found two priests from the church, a man and a woman, and put him on the throne of the pope and the great saint. These once real powers have now completely changed. It has become a mascot, and all it has is symbolic glory.

Hefelson has been in charge of the Elf Forest for more than a hundred years.

More than ten years ago, because he felt that his life was approaching, he tried to break through to a higher realm, practiced in seclusion, and passed on the position of high priest to another close member.

This is what Ron learned from the game. In the game, Hefelson and Archibald are similar. They are both existences in the background, with lofty status, strong strength, and even There are also some inheritance left.

According to the plot in the game, Hefelson should have failed to break through the realm of destruction and eventually died.

Players can even find the magic notes he left behind, the weapons he used all year round, and a white skeleton in the cave where he retreated.

However, in the real Twilight Continent, Hefelson did not die. He survived and even continued to serve as the high priest of the elves.

Ron's expression became more and more solemn.

From this point of view, something special must have happened to Hefelson, which caused some changes in his fate.

He may have been watched by some god, or he may have become the repairman's puppet.

Since he can arrange for Carol to assassinate him, the latter is obviously more likely.

This is not good news for him. If this old monster gets the gift of a repairman again, he might really become a strong man who surpasses the legendary limit and reaches the realm of destruction.

Carol had no idea how much impact the question she answered casually had on Ron. Seeing Ron's expression uncertain, she didn't know what Ron was thinking.

She knew that Ron was a prophet and very powerful, but no matter what, Hefelson was a monster-level existence that had survived for a hundred or two hundred years, so it was normal to be afraid.

Carol seemed to feel a little stiff. She stretched her limbs lazily, then pursed her lips and shrank back. From the corner of her eyes, she accidentally glanced inside the room. Cecilia was sleeping in a bad posture. , I don’t know when I let go of the pure white girl who was used as a pillow in my arms, lying on the bed with her arms stretched out.

But even in this pose that least showed off her figure, her chest was still bulging.

Unlike myself, even when stretching, it is a smooth arc.

Comparing people with each other makes people angry, God is unfair.

Carol complained in her heart.

But she should be in a bad mood, but she didn't hate this feeling.

After all, this kind of quiet time is too precious to her!

She is very open-minded.

She didn't really want to carry out the orders of the high priest, but since she had been sent out, she could finish it if she could. If she couldn't, she would die. It was no big deal. Anyway, the life she was living, it was better to be alive than dead.

Of course, if possible, she hoped that she could die a little more happily and not be so uncomfortable.

"How many killers like you do Hefferson have under his command?"

"When did he start training killers?"

"Does there look like something wrong with that guy?"

"How do you train on a daily basis?"

"Besides me, is there anyone else you target?"

Ron asked a lot of questions at once.

This reaction made Carol's head grow bigger.

She glanced at Ron in surprise, and her big emerald green eyes gradually became a little confused and a little scared. The scenes that had happened gradually played out in front of her eyes. For her, it was by no means a good memory.

These bad memories even made her wish she had never lived in this world.

Pursing her lips, Carol finally spoke slowly: "Do you know... about raising gu?"

Ron nodded.

Of course he knew this, but what he didn't expect was that there was actually a saying about raising gu in the Dusk Continent.

The so-called cultivation of poisonous insects is to throw a lot of poisonous insects into a closed space and let these poisonous insects fight each other and feed on each other's corpses. The one who survives in the end is the so-called poison king.

"Hefelson collected a huge collection of orphans."

"I don't know how many, ten thousand, one hundred thousand, one million?"

"In short, a large number of orphans like me are adopted by Hefelson every year. Moreover, these so-called orphans, without exception, are all very talented people. They are very suitable for cultivation."

"Where did so many orphans come from?"

"Although there are distinctions between nobles and commoners in the elves, there are also homeless people, and there are also people who starve to death because they can't survive, but after all, it is much better than the human world."

"With so many orphans, how many are real orphans? Why does it happen that every orphan is very suitable for cultivation and has talent?"

Ron was silent.

He is not an idiot, so he naturally knows that most of these so-called orphans are artificially created.

Their parents were killed and then taken away and trained by Hefelson.

There is no other reason, but Hefferson doesn't want them to worry too much. These well-trained orphans only need to follow Hefelson's orders.

Ron's hands clenched tightly, and he felt a little creepy.

How crazy was that high priest to do such a cruel thing? How much blood was stained on his hands? What did he want to do by creating so many orphans?

He knew that the high priest had gone crazy!
