Chapter 494 - Began To Become A G.o.d, And There Was A Rift Between Master And Disciple
After the banquet, Winnie and Benjamin were already half-drunk. During this time, Vincent had told them a lot about the demons in the Black Hole.
Even though Winnie and Benjamin did not completely believe what Vincent had said, they still listened to him with great interest.
This was because everything that Vincent had said was not a lie. It was all things that he had really experienced. In addition, he always had the courage to fight, which made his experience particularly eye-catching.
After Vincent"s trip to Esville, his storytelling skills had improved a lot. Whilst he was drinking and chatting, he was also showing off those skills that he had acc.u.mulated inadvertently.
It was not until evening that Winnie and Benjamin left Serene Spring City under the escort of Vincent and the others.
The army of Morson City was stationed not too far away from the city. When they saw Winnie and Benjamin reappear, they immediately waved their military flag. It was as if they were asking Winnie and Benjamin if they were safe.
Winnie made a hand gesture toward the direction of the army formation, and the waving flag immediately stopped. The entire army continued to remain quiet.
Vincent noticed that Winnie had only used a hand gesture to give an accurate order, He could not help but praise Winnie"s ability as a commander in chief in his heart.
She had such a great talent. After driving the demons out of Elf World, she could still be qualified to take the position of City Lord!
Winnie turned around and bowed to Vincent. She said seriously, "Thank you for your hospitality! After today, we, husband and wife, also understand your pursuit and character. Although we still have differences between us, it will not affect our communication. When we go back, we will also think of ways to find out the real purpose of the demons. If what you said is true, we will immediately switch sides and join your camp, and we can guarantee that everyone in Mosen City will also change their beliefs! However, if everything you say can not be verified, then don"t blame us for having to trust our own G.o.ds. When that time comes, even if we might die, we will still have to fight you once again!"
Vincent nodded and said, "Alright! Then from now on, Serene Spring City and Mosen City can exchange information. Once we have concrete evidence, we will immediately inform you!"
"Take care! Farewell!"
After Winnie bade farewell to Vincent and the others, she led Benjamin toward her own army.
A moment later, the army of Mosen City began to a.s.semble and left the battlefield in an orderly manner.
Melissa looked at the dust that was stirred up as the army left. She could not help but sigh, "It seems that the Elf Race is still full of talents. As long as we drive away those demons, I believe that the Elf Race will be able to regain their former glory very quickly! There are many capable and ambitious city lords like Winnie in the Elf Race. Fortunately, the demons do not care about the life and death of the elves. Therefore, all the city lords in the cities are occupied by capable elves. The cities have selected the most capable city lords. This is an important step for the future revival of the elves!"
Horace nodded and said, "When I was fighting against the Dark Elves, I had the same feeling! No matter which city lord it is, they are all extremely difficult to a.s.sa.s.sinate, and every main city is also extremely difficult to infiltrate. This is enough to prove that the average level of all the city lords in Elf World is excellent!"
Vincent retracted his gaze and sighed softly. "Now, we no longer need to worry about the City Lord who is in charge of the Elf Race"s governmental affairs. Next, we will only need to find suitable candidates and we will be able to fulfill all the necessary conditions to help revive the Elf Race!"
Melissa nodded and turned to look at Horace subconsciously. This was because Vincent had previously promised to help Horace become a G.o.d!
Horace looked at Vincent, his eyes filled with both antic.i.p.ation and anxiety. Perhaps he had a flaw in his personality. He was easily angered and easily radicalized. However, he was a real elf who did not hide his desire to become a G.o.d. Nevertheless, he still had some worries.
As an elf who could give up his life at any time for the Elf Race, Horace wanted to become a G.o.d and have greater power to lead the Elf Race toward revival and prosperity. However, he was also afraid that he would not be able to do it. He was afraid that he would put his future believers and the entire Elf Race in a difficult situation.
Vincent smiled slightly and said softly, "Don"t worry. The Elf Race has seven divine sparks, corresponding to the seven G.o.ds. The heavy responsibility of reviving the race is not something that can be accomplished by just one G.o.d alone. If there are any problems with the Elf Race, then the responsibility is definitely not borne by one G.o.d alone! The seven G.o.ds should help each other and bear each other"s burdens. A one-on-one fight will not work. Do you understand?"
Horace nodded and said in a deep voice, "I understand! Unity is the greatest strength of a race!"
Vincent looked at Horace with great satisfaction and said, "Yes! That is right. Then let"s go back to the City Lord"s mansion. I need a quiet room now to help you complete the ritual!"
Melissa immediately said, "Then let"s not delay. Come with me!"
Under Melissa"s lead, Vincent and Horace returned to the City Lord"s mansion. They walked into a quiet and secret room.
After arranging everything, Melissa turned and said to Vincent, "Master, Mr. Horace, you can complete the ritual here! I will personally stand guard outside the door. I won"t let anyone disturb you!"
Vincent nodded and said with great satisfaction, "It"s been hard on you! It just so happens that after I help Horace become a G.o.d, I still have something to discuss with you!"
Melissa nodded slightly and left the secret room. She closed the door again and stood guard outside the secret room alone, acting as a guard.
Vincent soon began the ritual in the secret chamber. Five halos of different colors suddenly appeared behind him.
"These are the divine sparks. What you will inherit is the Wood Elf"s divine spark that corresponds to the wood attribute. But before you fuse with it, you will still need to adjust your own state. This is because the moment you fuse with the divine spark, you will begin to hear a large number of prayers from the believers. Their voices may make you go crazy. So you must be prepared, adjust yourself to the best state, and maintain deep meditation. Only then can you navigate through those noisy prayers effectively!"
Horace took a deep breath and nodded solemnly. He then sat cross-legged on the ground and began to adjust himself.
Horace"s breathing soon became steady. Vincent nodded slightly in response. At the same time, he raised his hand and waved it. The light green halo that symbolized the wood divine spark instantly rushed into the s.p.a.ce between Horace"s brows.
Horace, who had a peaceful expression, suddenly frowned. His facial features twisted violently together as if he was enduring great pain. It was exactly the same reaction as when Vincent first received the divine sparks.
"Continue to meditate. You must endure the various prayers that reverberate in your mind and try to control the divine spark. Don"t let yourself be controlled by the divine spark instead. Only this way can you become a powerful and true G.o.d. At the same time, you must also begin to adapt to the existence of prayers. After all, this will be with you for the rest of your life from now on!"
Horace, who was meditating, heard Vincent"s advice. He immediately began to take deep breaths to ease his pain. At the same time, he adjusted his own wood energy and tried his best to control the divine spark that was constantly stirring up storms in his mind.
In an instant, Horace"s entire body was shrouded in a faint green light, like a plant.
Vincent did not dare to be the slightest bit careless at that moment. He stared at every expression on Horace"s face seriously. This was because they were currently at the most critical moment. If Horace could survive this final hurdle, then the Elf Race would have gained one more G.o.d!
However, if Horace could not survive this, then Vincent would have to stop the ritual in advance. Otherwise, Horace"s life would be in danger!
Outside the secret chamber, Sophia suddenly walked into the room. She walked to Melissa"s side with a smile. She stretched out a finger and poked Melissa"s elbow gently as if she was acting coquettishly.
Melissa frowned and scolded Sophia, "What are you doing here? Go back to your room immediately!"
The smile on Sophia"s face was still gentle. She said softly, "Vincent is your master, but he is helping others to become G.o.ds. Don"t you feel uncomfortable?"
Melissa snorted, "No matter what master does, he must have his reasons! Your little tricks to sow discord are useless against me! If you say that again, I will immediately send someone to send you to prison!"
Sophia reached out and put her arm around Melissa boldly. She said in a slightly coquettish tone, "I am concerned about you. Haven"t you already met High Priest Monica who helped Vincent to preach? She was once Vincent"s little handmaiden and did not have any outstanding abilities. However, after Vincent became a G.o.d, Monica inherited a very powerful ability and even became the High Priest of two cities in one leap! But as his disciple, you"re not even a Fire Elf. Don"t you think he"s being a little unfair toward you? Even an outsider like me can"t stand it. I can"t help but feel sorry for you!"
Melissa pulled away angrily and pushed Sophia to the side. She said in a deep voice, "Now, do you want to go to prison yourself, or do you want me to send someone to take you there?"
Sophia finally showed some worry on her face. She said in a slightly panicked voice, "Everything I said was for your sake! If you don"t like it, you can just deal with me as you like. Why do you need to ask my opinion?"
Melissa gritted her teeth, but she did not give the order to punish Sophia.
She had long been used to this helpless woman staying by her side. If she was sent to prison directly, not only would she punish Sophia, but she would also become very lonely. However, if she did not punish Sophia severely, her words would sow discord between her master and herself sooner or later!
Just as Melissa was about to make a decision, the door of the secret chamber suddenly opened.. Vincent walked out with a calm expression, smiled, and said, "What is this for? I"m doing this for your own good. I also think that you should obtain more power!"
