Players’ NPC daddy.

But this excess is for now.

The role of the current sacrificial candles is to replace humans and charge the solar scales in the sky, but humans in the first layer of the ground world cannot always live in a place illuminated only by solar scales. That would invisibly suppress the development of civilization.

So in the future, the sacrificial candles will act as the new sun scales, rising from the ground and flying into the sky.

The light of the sacrificer's candles is still dedicated to the sun scales, so their light will directly cross the sky, connect to the sun scales, illuminate the earth and form a path of light.

This is not the end. After the first layer of the ground world is illuminated, the second layer of the world and the third layer of the world will follow, and so on.

The places where the gods once resided, though plunged into darkness due to the shattering of their totems and the fall of the gods, had not vanished, and something still lay hidden within them. Perhaps, just as the twelfth world transformed into the ancient dragon world, a new ecosystem had emerged in a world without the gods.

If the underworld can be illuminated by sacrificial candles, then is there some special effect in the night kingdom on the other side?

That is the unknown that makes people eager to try.

But before that, we still have to take one step at a time and be down-to-earth.

Blazer flipped through the account book, and before he knew it, he could understand the numbers. There is no better teaching than to go deep into them.

The time has come to say goodbye to the first level of the underground world.

"Come to think of it, I originally planned to come here just to get some chocolate." Blaze scratched his forehead helplessly, "but then there was the revelation of your life story and the sacrifice crisis in the underworld, which was extremely serious."

"So we still don't know where I came from, do we?"

Amaterasu lay lazily on Blaze's back, her beautiful face distorted on Blaze's shoulder.

"The underground gods did not give Izanagi any help, so there is only one other possibility left." Blaze looked down at the notebook in his hand and stopped at the page about the lotus prop.

When the book is opened, it is composed of two pages of paper, just like the mythical totem of the birth of Amaterasu.

Only half of them came from the [Butterfly], and the other half was unknown. Perhaps the gods that still existed in the other half of the totem helped Izanagi.

But this secret may not be revealed so quickly.

"Do you have any requirements for your origin? For example, you hope for a harmonious and friendly world, or your birth stems from the recognition of Izanagi by a great god." Blaze patted Amaterasu's head jokingly.

Amaterasu muttered to herself for a while, as if thinking seriously, and finally said seriously: "I hope their clothing culture can be more conservative, not showing so much skin, at least not showing their belly and feet."

"……That's it?"

"What do you mean just that! This is very important to me. If the clothes repel me, how can I accept it?" Amaterasu puffed up her cheeks and blew hard into Blaze's ears. "I'm telling you, I have other requests."

"That's food! It has to be normal food that I can accept! It has to be delicious and pleasing to the eye."

"Ah~ Is this the consciousness that a sun should have? Be careful of retribution, because everything is completely opposite to what you expect." Blaze couldn't help but tease Amaterasu after hearing her serious talk, describing vividly, "For example, the translucent silk clothes that only cover the face, completely exposing the belly and legs, and the indescribable paste that mixes all the food together and becomes a sticky substance after stirring."

Amaterasu raised her brows, pinched Blaze's chin, and turned Blaze's face around with force.

She widened her eyes and spoke slowly.

"I'm telling you, you're going to have a pink blood disaster soon."

Chapter 1400 Farewell to the Underworld

A bloody disaster, what a subtle wording.

Blaze felt that Amaterasu's prophecy was a little late, and he had already survived the bloody disaster, so he didn't take it to heart.

However, the description of "pink" made him feel a little subtle, as if someone had given him a similar warning before.

But none of this mattered for now. Kullene's warning about the dangers of the Golden Sea of ​​Trees would grow bigger and bigger as time went by, like a rolling snowball. Although it hadn't hit me yet, I could faintly feel the vibration and pressure of the snowball approaching.

The most disturbing thing, without a doubt, is that Blaze is unable to sense this sense of crisis.

The main purpose of the Valentine's Day warm-up event is to make chocolate and collect materials for making chocolate. The golden forest is one of the sources.

In order to obtain the honey from a group of monsters classified as the "Crown Bee Swarm", foreigners went in and out of the golden forest in large numbers to collect honey, and did not find anything unusual during the whole process.

The principle that "the absence of abnormality is the biggest abnormality" is a bit forced. You can't say that there is something wrong with others when they are living their lives as usual.

Perhaps this was a misjudgment by Kullene, but even if it was a misjudgment, it must have been due to some kind of [misunderstanding]. If she really wanted to dispel this uneasy thought, she would have to go to the Golden Forest to confirm it with her own eyes, or... ask the elves to confirm it.

The elves living in the golden forest and acting as their spokespersons should be extremely sensitive to changes in the golden forest. It just so happens that every year’s love festival, or Valentine’s Day, is the time when the elves appear.

Blaze came to the giant teleportation tower in the city of Turan. It entered the teleportation tower network of [Hermes' Travel Hat] and could go to any registered teleportation tower.

Of course, using the chicken to travel is definitely faster, and walking through the teleportation tower is purely giving a [chance].

Blaze placed his hand on the compass of the oversized teleportation tower, adjusting the numbers on the compass to determine the target, while muttering to himself, "If you don't come out, I'll leave."

Without answering, Blaze pressed the compass and confirmed that the target was Camelot. The light of the portal began to bloom, and Smoke Mirror walked out of the darkness reluctantly, leaning against the wall and looking at him lazily.

As if in retaliation for Blaze seeing her behavior, she let out her usual low laugh.

"You're finally leaving. When you leave, there will be no one left to guard this place. This world has finally fallen into my hands. Hahaha - it seems a bit boring to say this."

Blaze didn't say anything, and the smoke mirror stopped without any meaning.

She smacked her lips and said reluctantly.

"Okay, okay. I came here for the bet. After all, I was the one who challenged you, and I can't take off the loincloth. I lost. I won't do anything bad in the next year."

Blazer shrugged. He guessed that if he brought up the matter, Smoke Mirror would definitely say something like "Do you think I will keep my promise?", so it would be better to skip this step and wait for Smoke Mirror to bring it up.

The reason why Smoke Mirror came was because of her twisted, no, it should be said that she had an awkward personality.

"So what shall we bet on next year?"

"Let's bet on whether we can remove the stranger's loincloth."

"Ha, looks like next year will be a good year as well." Blaze pressed the compass, and the transmitted light separated him and the smoke mirror like a wall. He waved goodbye to this arbitrary god.

In fact, he had many doubts, such as the ancient dragon world on the twelfth floor. The smoke mirror seemed to be in charge of the place and took him away after he accidentally entered it.

However, seeking answers from the smoke mirror is destined to be like walking in the fog, and you will easily get lost, so it is better to wait for this god to find you after he loses his patience.

"Goodbye, underworld, hello——"

Blaze walked out of the teleportation tower and stretched towards the blue sky.

"Sky."

In just a few days, Camelot had changed dramatically.

After going through several earth-shaking tests, the construction and civil engineering professions were greatly improved, and the huge gap in Camelot was repaired, but not filled up. Instead, it was completely dug out, forming an extremely wide, inward-sloping gate.

It is a symbol of victory and a symbol that Camelot always welcomes people to come in. In order to make the gate more conspicuous, its edges are inlaid with golden stone bricks, which complement the white city walls.

What has changed more than the city walls is the interior of Camelot. The buildings have not changed much, but it is full of human scent due to the increased flow of people.

Flags were also erected, not of red dragons, but of Morgan. However, at least it was not an emoticon of Morgan, but a silhouette of his profile, with elements of the Sword in the Stone.

The flags flying in Camelot include not only the Morgan flag representing the Eternal Kingdom, but also those of the Giant Kingdom and the Holy Cross.

One of the few customs that are commonly recognized among the three kingdoms is Valentine's Day, so they will take advantage of the festival to hold some friendly meetings during these days.

Of course, all the previous friendly meetings were a mess. In addition to cultural conflicts, there were many helpless and tangled small conflicts. Moreover, the Eternal Kingdom had not yet appeared, and the Third Kingdom was in chaos.

But this Valentine's Day really allows the three kingdoms to negotiate peacefully, because the protagonists of the event are foreigners. You can give face to anyone else, but you must give face to foreigners.

Therefore, representatives of the Holy Cross Kingdom and the Giant Kingdom Alliance came to the Eternal Kingdom to participate in the Valentine's Day event and complete this historic peace talks.

Blaze saw a familiar flag from a distance, a scarlet dragon.

Different from the bright red of the red dragon's cloak, it was a fiery red, like a burning flame.

"The Knights of the Red Dragon." Blaze put his hands on his hips. When he looked at the flag before, he couldn't help but lower his head, but now he can finally look at it with his head held high.

In addition to the flag of the Red Dragon Knights, there is another familiar one, the silver-white moon, the flag of the Silver Knights of the Arcadia Territory.

"It looks like Valentine's Day will be very lively this year, but..." Blaze's eyes briefly paused on the flag and then scanned the street.

Judging from the elves' activity patterns, they should be wandering around the city at this moment. After all, the most important thing about Valentine's Day for the oldest bards is collecting stories, and nothing is more interesting than a love story.

"oh I saw it."

Chapter 1401 Sage Elf

That was not an elf that Blaze had seen before, because it was a male elf.

He was wearing a wanderer's coat that looked very much like a minstrel, had slightly curled blond hair at the ends, and wore a wide hat. Although he was a wanderer, he did not look dirty or messy at all, but rather fresh and natural.

Blaze took the initiative to step forward and say hello. Surprisingly, the male elf knew him. It seemed that to the elves, he was already a very important figure.

"Lord Blaze, my name is Alvin, a wandering bard in stories." Alvin took off his hat and saluted Blaze very politely, with a kind of frivolousness that was not annoying but rather hearty.

If someone else did it, it might seem a bit greasy, but if a male elf did it, it wouldn't feel that way, and the reason is very real. No matter what the male elf says, he will give people the feeling of a sage.

Not the kind of sage who is full of wisdom, but the kind of sage who has no desires.

This is also something that cannot be helped. The elves have an extremely long lifespan, which is related to their origin.

The elves are ancient beings from the [World Tree], and their birth was based on the death of the original giant.

The gods headed by Odin are descendants of the original giants, while the elves are a species born from the corpses of the original giants.

Also born together were dwarves, dark elves, etc., who to some extent inherited the power of the original giants, so living long was not a problem at all.

However, compared to the direct descendants of the original giants, who are also giants and gods, the life born from the corpses of the original giants is incomparably small. Before humans were created, they were [humans]. This is why the elves' cognition is similar to that of humans.

Here we have to mention the fertility of elves. They are similar to humans and need to go through ten months of pregnancy, but their physical abilities are far superior to humans. Even ten months of pregnancy will not affect them at all, and even giving birth to a child will not cause any burden on the body.

The result, of course, was a rapid increase in the number of elves, but by the time the gods realized this problem, the problem had been automatically solved.

According to Odin, the person involved, the male elves completed a certain evolution on the psychological level, as if they had a sudden enlightenment and changed from physical reproduction to psychological reproduction, pursuing the growth of the flame of civilization.

Although it was said to be very advanced, it was actually not working. There was nothing wrong with the body, but it just didn't work. All male elves were like sages from then on.

Female elves are similar, but they go to the other extreme. They have no physical desires but stronger psychological desires.

Blaze asked Alvin about the latest situation of the Golden Sea of ​​Trees, and Alvin shook his head.

Male elves do not often return to the Golden Sea of ​​Trees. The official reason is that there is a clear division of labor among the elves. Female elves become the guardians of the Golden Sea of ​​Trees, while male elves are responsible for wandering and collecting as a reward for protecting the elves in the Golden Sea of ​​Trees - the story.

So Alvin is more aware of the current situation of the Tree of Life.

"The problems with the trees of life are many. They have souls that are eager to move, but their bodies can only be rooted in the ground. Once they try to move, they will easily cause the ground to churn."

"That's true." Blaze recalled that when the defense line was established in World R, the Tree of Life moved with the help of the druid tribe and the elves. The scene was not much different from a complete upheaval.

"Only vivid stories can soothe their restless hearts. This is our mission." Alvin took out a string instrument that sounded like a bard and played it twice.

"But if the stories are repeated, they will get boring, so we have to change them. There is no other way. The most epic stories in the world are always so similar, that is, the endings are different."

"I hope you can be more restrained in this regard." Blaze sighed and held his forehead.

This is probably why the elves have become perverted. If they are not perverted enough, how can they come up with perverted stories?

No matter what, the elves are perverted for the sake of world peace, so we should forgive them. If they don't become perverted, the Tree of Life will start to run wild.

"Actually..." Alvin played the strings twice more, a little cold sweat appeared on his forehead, and a pale and painful expression appeared on his face. "I'm almost at my limit. No, I've exceeded my limit for a long time. I really can't make a story more bizarre."

"I recall countless years ago when I was faced with the horror of giving birth. Nothing can make me feel happy anymore."

The corner of Blaze's eye twitched. This couldn't be the great crisis that Kullene was vaguely aware of. That was too abstract. Because there was no perverted story, the Tree of Life was going to start making trouble?

"So, you're here to collect new stories?"

"No~" Alvin's expression changed very quickly, and he smiled happily, "The Tree of Life hasn't asked us for stories for two years. They have set their sights on strangers."

"A leaf or a blade of grass, the words of a stranger make the dew on the leaves tremble, and the figure of a stranger makes them curiously follow, and there are endless new stories in it for them to look forward to."

"That's right. There are indeed many stories about strangers."

Blaze breathed a sigh of relief. Strangers would travel to countless worlds and experience countless stories. Even if they did not deliberately say them out loud, those stories would leave traces on them that would be extremely conspicuous in the eyes of the Tree of Life.

At least the Golden Sea of ​​Trees won't have any problems because the elves can't come up with perverted stories.

"In fact, there is a person, no, it should be said that God, who thinks that there may be a big problem in the Golden Sea of ​​Trees. I don't know if you have noticed it."

Alvin plucked the strings twice and asked, "Is it the great god Hermes?"

"Oh, it seems you know him. Did he also enter your place and do that?"

"No, we summoned him." Alvin shrugged. "He is not only a great messenger, but also a male fertility god, so we sought his help for fertility problems, and his answer was..."

That’s right, “…” is the answer that Culene gave to the elves.

If this world uses a scale of 1 to 10 to judge appearance, then the average appearance of elves is 8, and the lowest is also 8.

For Cyrene, living among such a group of beautiful creatures, it was unacceptable for her to have such problems.

The reason why it ends with "..." is very simple. Even Kullene can't do anything to the elves.
