Elf Lord, intelligence updated daily.

Chapter 137 Ice and Snow Goddess
After their date in the mirror world ended, Loren taught Celucia how to create the teleportation array.

Celucia would periodically tour the Elf Kingdom, during which time she could set up teleportation arrays to the royal city in other territories.

Although I really want to spend more time with Celucia, new information reveals that an uninvited guest is about to arrive in Sandstone Town.

After the deaths of Orc King Aiur, Troll King Vol'jin, and Undead Queen Vanish, a new Orc King emerged in the Orcish Horde.

More importantly, this newly crowned orc king somehow acquired a divine essence.

Possessing divine power, he is a king-level combatant and may be the most powerful enemy Loren has ever encountered.

The newly crowned Orc King Gru is preparing to send a powerful subordinate to Sandstone Town to gather intelligence.

Before that, Loren had already returned to Sandstone.

The subordinate sent by Gru was a human woman named Nelly.

When Nelly arrived in Sandstone, as a human, she was no different from other tourists, and no one suspected that she was a spy sent by the orc tribe.

Nelly looked bewildered at the sight of Sandstone Town's prosperity.

The Elf Kingdom has developed into this state; compared to Sandstone Town, the Orc tribe seems far too primitive.

Upon entering the town, Nelly didn't know where to turn her gaze.

Street food or towering skyscrapers?
How wonderful it would be to live in a place like this for the rest of your life.

"Hello, beautiful lady, is this your first time visiting Sandstone Town?"

A young man appeared, and Nelly nodded. "You are..."

Loren smiled slightly. "I'm a guide in Sandstone, specializing in introducing the town's features to first-time visitors."

Nelly was shocked.

Are there guides in Sandstone Town?
"With so many tourists coming to Shashi Town every day, can you possibly manage to introduce them all?"

"Of course, there are many guides in Sandstone Town, not just me."

Nelly was so surprised by the construction of Sandstone that she had no doubt about Loren's story.

Loren led Nellie around, introducing the bustling scene of Sandstone Town one by one.

Nellie took this opportunity to gather information about the lord of Sandstone Town.

"I heard that the lord of your Sandstone Town has signed a contract with the Elf Queen. Is he very powerful?"

Loren shook his head. "How could we guides possibly know anything about the lord? But I heard he's already been promoted to Sky Knight, which must be pretty impressive."

Sky Knights, huh...?

Nelly seemed thoughtful, then continued to ask, "Is there a powerful orc in your town?"

"There are indeed orcs in the town, but I'm not sure if they're that strong."

Loren became suspicious.

He was wondering why Nellie had come all the way to Sandstone Town to gather information, but now it seemed she was probably after Lilia.

What do they want with Lilia?
After introducing the town's food and various entertainment venues, Loren then led Nellie to a luxuriously decorated experience center.

"Miss Nelly, this is the Reincarnation Experience Hall, which can bring you novel experiences."

"Really?"

Nelly had no suspicions.

She thought she hadn't given herself away at all.

The same is true.

Without any intelligence alert, how could Loren have noticed an ordinary human woman?
Even if this woman is very strong.

Nelly entered the experience center and saw a magical mirror. Unsurprisingly, she was then pulled into the mirror world.

Loren did not resort to force to resolve the issue.

If Bai Xi is sent out, she can definitely take care of the opponent easily.

However, this can only prevent Nelly from bringing back intelligence, but it won't allow us to get information about the new Orc King from her.

Loren wanted to find out Gru's purpose from Nelly.

He traveled to the mirror world and found Nelly.

“Miss Nellie, please reintroduce yourself. My name is Loren, and I am the lord of Sandstone Town.”

Nelly's expression changed upon hearing this. "You're the lord of Sandstone Town?"

"Indeed, King Gru of the Orcs sent you to Sandstone Town to gather intelligence. What exactly do you want? To conquer Sandstone Town?"

If the goal was to conquer territory, they wouldn't have come all the way to Sandstone Town.

Because there are many other territories between Sandstone Town and the Orcish Horde.

Nelly's face looked grim.

Loren has already made his point clear, so there's no point in her pretending to be stupid.

"How did you find me?" Nelly was completely baffled.

"Answer my question first."

Nelly remained silent, not uttering a word.

Loren wasn't in a hurry.

This is a world reflected in a mirror; he has all the time in the world.

In his spare time, he could let Nelly experience the ten most brutal tortures in the mirror world.

For example, dismemberment, skinning, and scraping bones.

If that's not enough, then even more despicable punishments will be used.

As a woman, Nelly always had things she cared about, such as her innocence.

If she doesn't speak, Loren will just keep playing along.

She'll eventually give in after being subjected to both mental and physical torment.

As it turned out, Nelly's willpower was not strong.

"You should have held on a little longer; it'll be time for your honey trap soon," Loren teased.

Nelly, disheveled, glared fiercely at Loren, her eyes filled with rage.

"Lord Gru has high aspirations; he wants to ascend to become a new Beast God."

"Advancing to Beast God? What does that have to do with Sandstone Town?"

"He intends to kill all life born in the orc tribes and become stronger through the blessing of the beast god. The powerful orcs of Sandstone Town are also among his targets."

Loren frowned.

Lilia's strength is growing stronger and stronger.

Having mastered the power of the domain, she already had one foot in the ranks of king-level powerhouses.

That newly crowned orc king actually wanted to become a god by slaughtering orcs; such a method was far too cruel.

Most importantly, his path to godhood will inevitably have an impact on Loren.

Loren could not allow Gru to kill Lilia.

The orc king, who possesses divine power, is a formidable opponent.

Loren left the mirror world, reminding Serusia to keep a close eye on the movements of the orc tribe.

Nelly is imprisoned in the Mirror World, and Gru has already sensed that something is wrong.

He quickly moved on to the next step of his plan.

Since Nelly failed to gather any information, let's solve the problem in a more direct way.

Gru dispatched an army led by an orc king to wage war, targeting Sandstone Town.

The plains south of the Elven Earl's territory are covered by orcish troops, and a large army of red-skinned orcs is approaching.

Loren had already taken precautions.

Fran, Red Elm, Manaphy, and Spark, four dragon spirits, join hands to resist the invasion of the orc army.

Fran's magic surged, summoning a large number of magical plant vines.

Not to be outdone, the red elm summoned a large group of thorny branches.

Manaphy and Spark's attacks are more direct.

Manaphy conjured up waves out of thin air, engulfing the monster army.

Sparks released flames that filled the sky, turning the entire earth red.

Dragon spirits displayed extremely powerful strength on the battlefield.

The orc army was wiped out one after another by the magical attacks of the four dragon elves.

Loren showed no sign of joy.

Every orc that falls makes the rest of the orcs stronger, including Gru.

Gru's goal may be to use war and Loren's hand to eliminate the orcs, and at the same time weaken Loren's power.

The orc army before them was not entirely defenseless. Many orcs survived the combined attack of the dragon elves.

Not only that, they seem to be devouring their companions' bodies!

That was the power of devouring that Gru bestowed upon them!
Fortunately, Loren's main strength was not the knights.

The knight army going to the battlefield will only become nourishment for these orcs.

It's unclear what Gru did, but this army has completely lost its mind.

Their only thought was to invade the elven count's territory.

We can't worry about too much right now; we must deal with this orc army as soon as possible.

Even if killing orcs would increase Gru's strength, there's nothing he can do about it.

"Bai Xi, go and assassinate that red-skinned orc king. Don't be careless; his strength should not be underestimated."

Gru received divine power, and he also possessed the power of blessing.

In other words, the orc king who led this army may have received Gru's blessing.

Even Bai Xi must go all out to protect the blessed Beastman King.

Loren originally wanted Bai Xi to capture the other party alive.

But after careful consideration, I realized that Bai Xi's safety was more important.

If you don't go all out to capture the opponent alive, you're more likely to get injured.

Bai Xi made her move, and Loren kept a close eye on the situation on the battlefield.

Bai Xi is one of his strongest combatants and cannot be allowed to be lost.

In preparation for this great battle, Loren not only sought out Cold Frost, but also contacted Celusia in advance.

Cold Frost and Seruccia were backup plans prepared to deal with Gru.

The battle between Bai Xi and the Orc King lasted for about three hours.

Bai Xi maintained the upper hand throughout the battle.

Thanks to her incredible speed and the power of the void, she suffered almost no damage in the battle.

Once the Red-skinned Orc King is injured, he can recover by devouring the Orcs around him.

Fortunately, the number of orcs is limited.

Especially when faced with the magical attacks of the four dragon spirits, the orcs kept falling to the ground.

In the end, the red-skinned orc king was defeated.

Bai Xi originally intended to capture the Beastman King alive.

Unfortunately, the opponent immediately self-destructed after being defeated, nearly injuring Bai Xi.

After the battle, Loren suffered almost no losses.

This is the advantage of the elven army.

Against the orc army engaged in close combat, the dragon elves' magic was akin to a game-changer.

Of course, the most crucial point is that Bai Xi is strong enough.

She did not give the enemy orc king a chance to unleash his power.

Despite the great victory, Loren felt no joy whatsoever.

All of this was part of Gru's plan.

With another orc king dead, Gru's power will only grow stronger.

Lilia has also become much stronger, but her improvement is clearly not as great as that of the Orc King.

In the coming period, Gru will likely continue to send out Orc Kings to attack.

Compared to the Elf Kingdom, the Orc Tribe's biggest advantage lies in the large number of their King-level warriors.

The Elf Kingdom has only one queen, while the Orc tribe has nearly ten Orc Kings.

However, the orc kings used to fight each other, and the strength of a single orc king was far inferior to that of Celucia.

Therefore, the Elf Kingdom was not only not threatened, but also had the opportunity to conquer the territory of the Orc tribe.

But it's different now.

The emergence of a newly crowned orc king with divine power has broken the discord within the orc tribes.

Using the power of his divine essence, he gathered the king-level combat force of the orc tribes and dispatched them into battle.

In every major battle to come, Loren will face an even stronger opponent.

Gru's power reached its peak after all the Orc Kings fell.

To sabotage this plan, the only option is to kill Gru ahead of time.

But Gru deliberately hid, and Loren couldn't do anything about it.

Bai Xi was able to find Vanas mainly because she had been attacked by Vanas and remembered her aura.

Now, without having met Gru, Bai Xi has no way of finding any trace of him.

Loren's intelligence also struggles to provide accurate information about Gru.

In other words, Loren can only wait for Gru to evolve into his strongest form.

At that time, will Leng Shuang and the others really be able to defeat Gru?
In order to prepare for the arrival of a crisis in advance.

Loren could only think of two methods.

The first method is to improve one's strength as quickly as possible, advance to the level of a legendary wizard before Gru's attack, and learn more powerful spells.

Nowadays, Loren himself can also exert considerable combat power.

If one can advance to the level of a legendary wizard, coupled with the power of divine essence, one will be able to put up a fight against a king-level powerhouse.

However, the path to promotion is far from over, and Gru's attack may come first.

So he decided to take the second approach and seek help from others.

In Loren's memory, Celia was very strong.

If he were in danger, Celia would most likely not stand by and watch him die.

Even if the other party doesn't care about him as a disciple, they should still care about the game in the mirror world, right?

If Loren is killed, all experiences in the Mirror World will cease.

This is something Celia absolutely cannot accept.

But even with Celia alone, Loren was still not confident.

The legendary wizard's strength is comparable to that of a king-level expert.

As a veteran legendary wizard, Celia's strength is certainly not weak.

However, Loren was unsure of the exact extent of its power.

Besides Celia, Loren had another person he needed help from: Mil.

Mill has lived in Sandstone for so long.

Loren had a vague idea of ​​her true identity.

"Miss Mil, you must know about the recent situation in the orc tribes, right?"

Mil is eating fried skewers on the food street in Sandstone Town. She's been having a great time lately, and in her opinion, Sandstone Town is simply paradise.

"What happened to the orc tribe?" Mil asked.

"They recently produced a new orc king. That orc king wants to increase his strength and ascend to the rank of orc god through the blessing of the orc god."

"Ascend to the level of Beast God?" Mil looked at Loren with interest. "You're overthinking it."

“Even if he can’t become a god, his strength will be greatly enhanced, and he seems to have his eye on Sandstone Town. I would like to ask Miss Mil to help Sandstone Town resolve this crisis.”

Mill looked at Loren with a puzzled expression. "Do you think I have that ability?"

"Yes."

Mill stared at Loren, thought for a moment, and said, "I can help you, but you have to write your name on this contract first."

As she spoke, Mil took out a contract that emitted a dazzling white light.

Loren was greatly surprised. "What is this?"

"Divine Servant Contract"

"Divine Servant Contract?"

Loren was startled and silently watched Mir.

Mil curled the corners of her lips into a smile. "Didn't you already guess my identity? Once you sign this contract, you naturally won't need to worry about that insignificant orc king anymore."

Even though he had suspected it, Loren was still surprised.

Indeed, Mil is the ice goddess who established the Ice Empire...
