Chapter Seventy(1/5)
() Bill suddenly thought of this method.
Among the sacred magic, there is magic to purify undead monsters.
Bill began to regret not taking Priest Hope with him. When setting off, the priest had asked to accompany him, but Bill considered that there were wounded among his companions, so he still let him stay in Kano. He knew that his It was the right choice, but I never expected that something like this would happen in the Forest of No Return.
"We fairies don't believe in God. We only believe in the existence of a Creator..."
Deedlit said apologetically, but of course Bill also knew this.
Because the goblins believe that they are not the people of God, but young branches born from the tree of origin - the golden tree.
The World Tree is called the parent of all life. In fact, all things in the world are indeed born from the life fruits of the World Tree. Among them, the goblins belong to the fairies of the forest, so they are sealed in the spirit world of the forest. The World Tree, which is the source of the spiritual power of the forest, has a closer relationship than the gods.
"It seems that the only way to destroy it is with flames."
One of the elders said painfully.
"We can't do anything at all!"
Someone said sadly, and then others began to echo this opinion.
"We can't just deny it, we hope everyone can put forward constructive opinions."
An elder gently asked everyone to pay attention.
"If we summon the King of Wind, we can avoid destruction, right?"
Led by the opinion of a seductive woman, everyone spoke up and put forward their own opinions.
"Even with the help of the King of Wind, the fact that it will harm this forest remains unchanged. Moreover, no one can guarantee that the same result will occur as when the wind dispersed it."
"How will you know if you don't try it?"
"If you fail, you will only hurt the forest innocently. It is better to use flames to be more reliable."
"Fire is a hateful force that controls destruction. Using flames will burn many trees..."
As soon as someone puts forward an opinion, someone will immediately deny it, and even if there are other suggestions, they will still be refuted by others.
"It seems that there is already an answer, doesn't it? There is only one way after all."
Bill said impatiently.
"Human, what you said is not wrong."
Until now, Estas had just closed his eyes and listened to the opinions of his companions. However, when he heard Bill's words, he slowly opened his eyes and responded to him.
"In fact, everyone should have understood it. There is still only one way, which is to burn out the fog of immortality. However, this is an extremely painful decision for us, because it means that we are required to attack our relatives and friends. .If it were you, could you end the life of the person closest to you without any care?"
It was the first time that Bill saw Estas put so much emotion into his words, and at the same time he felt that the ancient magician's revenge was indeed successful.
Because even this calm enchantress became distressed and emotional.
"...Is that why the discussion took so long?"
Bill whispered and sighed softly.
"This puts me at ease. I have been worried that your racial characteristics are very different from ours."
Bill's words made Estas look disgusted.
"You said you are the same as us?"
"It's like what you just said. I can't end the lives of my loved ones with my own hands. In order to help the people closest to me, I am willing to risk my own life. This is exactly the same as you."
"...I haven't seen you for a while, but you have become very good at talking."
Estas said this unhappily, and then continued to remain silent.
Bill didn't say anything else, just waited quietly for the goblins to reach a consensus in their discussion.
Just as Estas said, the meeting began to have a more specific direction.
In short, we must first admit that it must be destroyed by fire, and then start discussing how to minimize the damage to the forest.
Small pieces of fog will gather into one large piece, and probably all the fog is actually a complete complex.
First, induce the fog above the lake and then light a fire. In this way, even if the flames spread to the surrounding trees, you can summon the water spirit to extinguish the fire.
However, there was no progress at this point in the meeting.
Who is going to light the fire? Even such a small piece of fog will burn so fiercely that someone will be injured. So lighting the entire fog with a torch will definitely not only cause injuries, so you must evacuate to the back and fire flaming arrows, or use flames.
Use the power of the spirit to ignite the fire.
And the person who lit the fire was the executioner who personally cut off the lives of many trees in the forest.
"Who's going to light the fire?"
No one answered the elder's question.
Everyone lowered their heads and remained silent, waiting for others to come forward to take on the job of executioner.
Silence continued in the square, and only the smiling magician of the ancient kingdom in the center of the square was the most conspicuous.
Bill also unconsciously crossed his arms and looked at the goblins.
He is very suitable for this job, because he does not think that trees are his relatives. However, Bill knows that he should not say this. After all, it is precisely because trees are the closest companions of goblins, so the goblins themselves must perform this task.
Task.
Bill looked at Estas on the side.
One glance showed that Estas was very distressed now. He must be considering whether to volunteer. This young elf has taken on countless jobs that others are unwilling to do.
Bill could relate to Estas's pain.
No one wants to do it, but someone must do it.
Looking back, many people's eyes fell on Estas.
Just when Estas made up his mind and was about to take a step forward, a crisp voice suddenly appeared.
"Let me do it."
And the source of the sound is right next to it.
"Deedlit..."
Bill was so surprised that he couldn't speak, but his tense expression immediately softened.
Deedrit ignored the other goblins who started making noise and walked straight towards the elders.
On the way, they passed by a magician from an ancient kingdom, and there were complicated feelings hidden in their crossed eyes.
"Deedlit, will you be responsible for lighting the fire?"
Deedrit nodded in response to the elder's cautious question.
"Elder, please allow me to do it. I used the Fire Elf in the daytime battle. Some of you think that I was led astray by humans and lost my heart as a fairy, but you are all wrong!"
Deedlit said loudly and looked back at the goblins around her.
"I live in the human world, but I have not lost the glory of the goblin clan. It is very painful to take away the lives of trees in the forest. I also think that fire is a hateful force that controls destruction, but..."
Deedlit turned to look at the elder again, and smiled nostalgically.
"But I know that fire is responsible for more than just destruction."
(So I would like to be responsible for the use of fire. It will not be the fire of destruction, but the sacred fire of regeneration.)
Deedlit said this in her heart and recalled her past memories.
"...Deedlit, I didn't expect you to still remember. I only told you once about the legend of fire."
The elder's words flowed from my ears into my heart.
"No, it's not."
Deedlit shook her head.
"I have forgotten the elders' teachings. What reminded me of this incident was a woman, a brave woman who sacrificed her life for the tribe..."
Of course Bill also knew this woman's name.
Nadia - the leader of the Flame Tribe who is proud of her people. I believe they will never forget her in their lifetime. She sacrificed her life to tell everyone that no matter what the reason, all wars are meaningless.
"Human, is the reason why Deedlit has changed like this because she is with you?"
Estas asked without looking back.
"I have been with Dido all my life, so I don't know how she is different from before."
"We've always been together..."
Estas looked at Bill and smiled bitterly.
"I really envy you."

As soon as the meeting ended, the goblins immediately took action.
Because it is easier to spot the fog-like monster that emits yellow light at night.
