Chapter 604: Legend of the Mother Goddess of All Things (10,000)

When Ron heard that Heferson actually lived on the Mother Tree of All Things, his brows furrowed.

This is not something that ordinary people can do.

The Mother Tree of All Things can be said to be the incarnation of the Mother Goddess of All Things.

In the Dusk Continent, a world where gods exist, the incarnations of gods are often worshipped most devoutly. All believers believe that the incarnations of gods will bring them blessings and good luck.

As a god worshipped by the elves for generations, it is conceivable what kind of status the Mother Goddess of All Things will have in the elves. Living on the Mother Tree of All Things will definitely be regarded as disrespectful and blasphemous. This is something that no believer can do.

Even pagans can't do it.

But Heferson did it.

Why?

In Ron's opinion, this is definitely a stupid thing.

You know, although Heferson currently holds almost all the power of the elves, this power and status is purely suppressed by brute force and is not stable. After all, Heferson can be said to be a typical usurper of power, lacking the name of righteousness and being neither legitimate nor justifiable.

In the Forest of Elves, the forces that openly or covertly resist Heferson have always existed.

In this case, what Heferson should do is to try every means to create an orthodox image for himself.

Such blasphemous behavior will not only do Heferson no good in maintaining his rule, but will even make more elves feel that he is arrogant and domineering, and feel dissatisfied with him, and the power to resist him will become stronger and stronger.

Heferson is also a very insidious and smart guy. Ron doesn't think Heferson can't notice this.

In this way, Heferson's residence on the Mother Tree of All Things may have other purposes.

Unfortunately, there is too little information at present, and Ron can't judge the real reason why Heferson did this.

Speaking of Heferson, Mirabelle's voice obviously had more hatred, and even Carol's face beside her became a little solemn.

After all, Carol was a killer trained by Heferson, and the training process was definitely not wonderful.

As for Mirabelle, her brothers and sisters, parents, uncles, and countless relatives died at the hands of Heferson, and there was an irreconcilable hatred between the two.

However, Heferson's strength was too strong, that was the kind of crushing strength.

Before meeting Ron, Mirabelle's biggest wish was to escape from Heferson's control, to control her own destiny, and to live a peaceful life. However, after meeting Ron, Mirabelle's deep desire for revenge could not help but grow.

Especially now, she even got a trace of the inheritance of the Mother Goddess of All Things.

Although compared with Ifrit, Lydia, and Sharin's inheritance, it was weaker, it also brought Mirabelle a lot of benefits, and the hope and desire for revenge in her heart became more and more intense.

However, no matter how much Mirabelle hated Heferson, she still understood that now was not the time to settle accounts, and Mr.'s plan was the most important.

For Mr.'s plan, Mirabelle was willing to suppress even the hatred of life and death.

"Tell me about the Elf Forest, the elves, and Heferson." Ron asked casually, flicking his fingers and shaking a colorful venomous snake hanging from a branch next to him into pieces.

"The elves and the Elf Forest?" Mirabelle pondered for a moment: "There is nothing much to say about the Elf Forest. It is just a dense forest. If there is anything special, it may be the numerous poisonous insects living in this forest."

"The poisonous creatures in other places in the Dusk Continent combined cannot be compared with the Elf Forest. There are not only common centipedes, spiders, and poisonous snakes, but even many plants are terribly poisonous."

"In the Elf Forest, you must never eat anything easily."

"No matter how edible it looks, a mushroom, a petal, or even a mouthful of water may kill you."

"Moreover, the poison is extremely strong. Once you eat something inappropriate, even a legendary master will die in a short time."

Ron immediately understood why Mirabelle asked him to buy a lot of food before leaving Granville, at least to fill a storage ring.

"It is precisely because of this unique advantage that the elves' mastery of various toxins far exceeds that of other races. The outside world has rumors that the elves are good at magic, but in fact it is not true."

"The elves are not really good at magic, but at refining magic potions."

"Especially various poisons."

"The elves will apply their own poisons on the blade and tip of the sword. When fighting, they don't even need to cut off the opponent's neck. As long as a small wound is left on the target, the poison will spread at the fastest speed and take a life in just a few seconds."

"It is even said that many elves' poisons do not even have antidotes. Every year, a large number of elves die from the poison they make when they are refining poisons."

Mirabelle's voice was very calm. She didn't seem to think that there was anything strange about what she said. She had long been accustomed to it.

This is the elves.

But Ron only felt a headache, and he felt that all the beautiful fantasies about elves in his heart were shattered at this time.

Who would have thought that the elegant and beautiful elves in the rumors are actually a group of guys who like to use poison when fighting and have no martial ethics?

After a pause, Mirabell continued: "It is precisely because of these poisons that few people dare to come to the Elf Forest to cause trouble. Even the Dragon Clan is unwilling to cause trouble for the Elf Clan if it is not necessary."

"The entire Twilight Continent, dozens of races, and one or two hundred countries, have to pay a large amount of tribute to the Dragon Clan every year, but the tribute paid by the Elf Clan every year is just a little bit meaningful. Basically, as long as the tribute is maintained on the surface, it will be fine. Okay, the Dragon Clan won’t come here to cause trouble.”

"After all, the elves have a lot of poison, and even the powerful body of the dragon can't withstand it."

"Perhaps, those dragons dare to bully the elves outside, but they will never dare to do so in the Elf Forest."

"The biggest difference between the elves and other races may be the gods they believe in." After thinking about it again, Mirabelle's voice flowed slowly like a clear spring.

"God?" Ron raised an eyebrow.

Mirabell nodded heavily: "Although the seven orthodox religions are headed by the Church of the Goddess of Dawn, in fact, even the Church of the Goddess of Dawn has probably not seen a few miracles, right?"

Ron was silent.

Not to mention that I have seen it a few times, it can almost be said that I have never seen it.

Since the establishment of the seven orthodox religions, almost no miracles have occurred, and the followers who followed have never witnessed the honor of the gods with their own eyes. They can only imagine the appearance of the gods through the statues of gods left eight thousand years ago.

It has always been the pope who has administered divine authority on his behalf.

Not only the miracles, but even the favored ones who were favored by the gods never appeared.

It is precisely because of this that in the Twilight Continent, there are always legends that the gods have died long ago.

"But elves are different. Many elves have seen miracles." Mirabelle continued: "The lifespan of the elves is relatively long. The average elves can survive for more than four hundred years. The powerful elves can survive for more than 400 years." It’s been a normal thing for thousands of years.”

"So, many things that happened to the elves can be carefully preserved."

"It is said that seven or eight thousand years ago, not long after the Church of the Mother Goddess of All Things was established, a terrible plague suddenly broke out in the Elf Forest. The adult elves were still able to resist, but the young elves suffered heavy casualties, especially the young elves. Babies born have no resistance at all. Among the elves, although many experts are researching desperately and trying to develop a medicine to treat the plague, there has been no result. Just when many elves can't help but despair. , the mother tree of all things suddenly bloomed.”

"Pollen drifted in the breeze and fell on the elves who were entangled and tortured by the plague. These elves who were tortured by the plague gradually improved and recovered within a few days."

"Thousands of years ago, evil spirits were still raging in the Elf Forest."

"Although the elves have many masters, they are no match for the evil spirit. A huge flower bone suddenly appeared on the Mother Tree of All Things. After the flower flower bloomed, it was discovered that under the petals, there was a female elf. This After the elf was born, he immediately killed several evil spirits, and then disappeared silently, never to be seen again."

"It is said that the Mother Tree of All Things is the incarnation of the Mother Goddess of All Things, but in the eyes of many elves, this is not an incarnation at all, and is even the Mother Goddess of All Things herself."

"Among humans, there are many pagans, and many people do not believe in the existence of the goddess of nature and the goddess of dawn. But among the elves, this is not the case at all. Every elf firmly believes that the mother goddess of all things has always protected the entire world. Elves."

The casual words made Ron's eyelids jump.

The Mother Goddess of All Things is also a relatively powerful type among the gods.

But after the two wars between the gods, the Mother Goddess of All Things and the Wild God can be said to be the most seriously injured gods. In addition to the power of reproduction, the Mother Goddess herself also has the power of healing. In terms of healing ability, only Second to the goddess of dawn.

Ordinarily, the Mother Goddess of All Things would not end up in such a miserable state.

Thinking of the corpses that were seen in the cemetery of the gods, which were suspected to be the Mother Goddess of All Things, they almost didn't feel the slightest bit of life. The result obtained by Hefelson was that the Mother Goddess of All Things was already dead.

But on the Elf side, the Mother Goddess of All Things has repeatedly seen her perform miracles.

An idea suddenly came to Ron's mind. The two battles between the gods and the Mother Goddess of All Things were indeed seriously damaged, but this seriousness was not as serious as imagined. It was just that the Mother Goddess of All Things split her existence in two.

A portion was left in the cemetery of the gods to nourish the wounds.

Just because the injury was too serious, coupled with the fact that it was split into two, the recovery from the injury was unsatisfactory and it almost entered a state of death.

The other part is transformed into the mother tree of all things, guarding the elves.

In this way, the lifeless remains of the Mother Goddess of All Things in the Cemetery of the Gods and the several miracles in the Forest of Elves can be explained.

From this point of view, what Mirabell said is indeed correct. The Mother Tree of All Things is most likely not the incarnation of the Mother Goddess of All Things, but the Mother Goddess of All Things herself, just in a different form.

However, the Mother Goddess of All Things suffered a serious injury after all. This injury made it impossible for the Mother Goddess of All Things to stay awake all the time. She would only show miracles when the elves encountered the disaster of genocide.

And Hefelson, who lives on the Mother Tree of All Things, may not be as simple as being arrogant and domineering.

There is a powerful evil god behind Hefferson.

Could it be that the powerful evil god wanted to absorb half of the Mother Goddess of All Things through Hefelson?

For a moment, various thoughts came to Ron's mind. If possible, Ron really wanted to take a look at the Mother Tree of All Things, and maybe he could get a glimpse of the truth.

"Where's Hefelson? How much do you know about this guy?" Shaking his head, Ron put aside the distracting thoughts in his heart and asked again. After all, this time he was coming to join forces with Hefelson. Knowing more about him, after all, There's no harm in it.

"Not much." Mirabell said: "I only know that Hefelson was the high priest of the elves two hundred years ago, responsible for worshiping the Mother Goddess of All Things and communicating with the Mother Goddess of All Things."

"His status in the Elf Clan is very high. He is basically on an equal footing with the Queen of Elf and the Pope of the Mother Goddess of All Creations."

"Later, because the elf queen and the pope of that generation became husband and wife, the power of the elves was basically controlled by the royal family. The elf queen and the pope tried to sideline Hefelson, but they did not expect that Hefelson's strength was beyond imagination. His strength actually suppressed both the Elf Queen and the Pope, and Hefelson became the de facto leader of the Elf clan."

"It's just that at that time, although Hefelson had a higher status and more power, he rarely directly managed the affairs of the elves and focused more on his own cultivation."

"Although the Elf Queen and the Pope were suppressed, they were not killed. They only took away the titles of the Queen and the Pope."

"As for the royal family, they are still the royal family, and the Elf Queen will still choose from the royal family. It's just that from that time on, the Elf Queen has become a puppet, but at least she can still live normally."

"Originally, Hefelson had a little apprentice. This little apprentice was an orphan. Hefelson took him with him and grew up. He was trained according to the specifications of the next generation of high priests. It is even said that among the elves, This little apprentice already has the title of little priest."

"One hundred and twenty years ago, Hefelson should have passed on the position of high priest to his disciples. Even the elves had begun to prepare for the handover ceremony."

"But at this time, Hefelson didn't know what stimulation he received. Suddenly his temperament changed drastically. The rituals that had begun were interrupted. The young apprentice who was originally preparing to take over the position of high priest became a laughing stock, and he felt many things in his heart. He felt a little resentful and complained about Heferson behind his back, but Hefelson found out and killed him on the spot. "

"Subsequently, Hefelson began to implement high-pressure rule over the entire elves. The power of the royal family has been completely stripped away, and the authority of the church has been completely emptied."

"In order to maintain his rule, Hefelson began a purge within the elves. All elves who dared to express any dissatisfaction with him would be brutally tortured until death."

"Even the Queen of Elf and the Pope of the Church of the Mother Goddess of All Creations cannot maintain the superficial splendor. As long as the Queen and the Pope have the slightest idea of ​​their own, they will be killed by Hefelson. So far, more than a hundred years have passed. , experienced seventeen queens and more than twenty popes."

"For us royal elves, becoming a queen basically means that your life has entered a countdown. No matter how obedient you are, Hefelson will always find something that makes him dissatisfied, and then he will He died for some inexplicable reason, such as falling into the water."

Having said this, Mirabelle couldn't help but clenched her little hands, her nails almost digging into her flesh.

She couldn't help but think of her own fate. Perhaps, she should die inexplicably a few years later, but her luck was better. She broke free from the cage woven by Hefelson, gained freedom, and even met Ron. .

Her fate also changed.

However, the deaths of so many relatives were like nightmares that lingered in Mirabelle's mind from beginning to end and could never be forgotten.

"Hefelson's strength is very strong, and the speed of improvement is even more terrifying. Almost every time I meet Hefelson, I feel that the guy is much stronger than the last time I met him."

"That kind of power can even make me despair. I always feel that I am just a bird locked in a cage by Hefelson. I always feel that the person standing in front of me is not an elf at all, but someone from hell. The devil emerged."

"I don't know if it's because Hefferson's strength is so powerful that it scares me and makes my scalp numb. In short, I can feel it every time I see Hefferson. It feels so cold and cold that I can’t describe it. Even with the scorching sun high in the sky, I still get goosebumps all over my body. That kind of gloom and depression is almost driving me crazy.”

"In order to maintain his rule, Hefelson even specially trained an elite killer group." As he spoke, Mirabell quietly glanced at Carol, who came from that killer group. from.

Fortunately, Carol's face looked normal, and she was not dissatisfied at all because of her past experience. She even took over Mirabelle's words: "Hefferson will be among the school-age children in the Elf Forest every year. During the selection process, all the elves who can be chosen by Hefelson are extremely talented.”

"These elves will soon become orphans, leaving them with nothing to worry about in their future lives."

"Soon, these elves will be taken to the training place that Hefelson has prepared. We call that place the White House. We will receive training in two aspects in the White House. On the one hand, it is physical fitness, magic, and fighting. Training in poison techniques and other combat skills, on the other hand, is crazily instilled with the idea of ​​loyalty to Hefferson.”

"So, every killer who can come out of the White House alive, regardless of his own strength, is absolutely loyal to Hefelson and has absolutely no second thoughts..." Carol looked a little weird: "Ahem , as for me, I may have slipped through the net of brainwashing education.”

"These kids need ten years of training."

"Ten children form a clan. There will be an assessment at the end of the year. Only one elf can survive from the white house."

"In the second year, the survivors will become a team of three. In the end-of-year assessment, only one person will survive."

"When the ten years of continuous fighting are over, every killer who walks out of the white house is the best of the best. The most important thing is that he has a heart like a snake and a scorpion. No matter who he faces, even his former relatives and friends, as long as he There was an order coming from above, and they didn’t hesitate at all when they took action.”

Listening to Carol's voice, Mirabell couldn't help but sympathize.

Compared with Carol's experience, what happened to me didn't seem so uncomfortable.

One can imagine how powerful the killer group cultivated through such a cruel method is.

But at this moment, Carol said again: "The killer group under Hefelson is indeed very terrifying, but in my opinion, these killer groups are not the most powerful force under Hefelson. "

"Oh, is there some power around Hefelson that I don't know about?" Mirabelle was a little surprised and asked quickly before Ron could speak.

Carol nodded heavily: "Yes..."

"Those...instructors who train killers!"
