Witch Monastery

He was assassinated so easily. However, looking at the whole process, no one can complain.

After all, before this, who could have expected that an elite force of dark elves would come to assassinate him!

Thus, Wang Du's original goal was achieved, but it was achieved in the worst way, the way he least wanted to see, and with the most terrible result.

He holds the highest power on the front line, and the capital unconditionally recognizes all his decisions and judgments. However, this also means that he will have to bear a huge pressure several times greater than before.

This situation exhausted him physically and mentally, and in this situation, he instinctively began to seek strong support.

Seeing Hawthorne coming over, the elephant man showed a slightly tired smile: "You are here? Sit down."

Huo Sang nodded slightly. He also knew that Wang Du had been in charge of all matters in the Bharatiya Army in the past few days. It was said that even the announcement of Sharma's death and the funeral were made by Wang Du, so that it could be held here.

From this, he could also see that Wang Du was indeed a leader of a higher level. He did not hesitate to cover up this matter that could cause instability in the army, which not only weakened his credibility, but also caused rumors to fly everywhere, making the army more unstable.

On the contrary, he announced the news openly and completed the next step of war mobilization, allowing the soldiers to turn their grief and anger into strength, which in turn made his own army more united.

Turning passivity into initiative and disadvantage into advantage, Hawthorne felt that Wang Du's level was much higher than that of his fellow elephant people.

Huo Sang sat down in front of Wang Du and gave a polite smile: "General, do you want to talk to me about something?"

Wang Du opened his huge mouth and let out a long breath: "Ah...haha, how can you say that, Father."

"We are friends, aren't we? Besides my business, can't I come to you for a cup of tea and a chat?"

He smiled, trying to be close to her, but Hawthorne kept smiling and didn't seem to be buying it: "If it were normal times, I would believe the general if he said that."

"However, now that we are facing a powerful enemy, internal and external troubles, the general asked me to come here, I don't think it's just for a chat."

He straightened his body and looked the elephant man straight in the eye. "General, tell me directly. If you need me, I will definitely help you."

“That’s what the international supporters are here for.”

He acted in a cold and businesslike manner, with no intention of developing any personal connection with the elephant man.

Wang Du took a deep breath, the forced smile on his face disappeared, and then he sighed: "Now, you can also see that the pressure on the front line is greater than we imagined."

"With the loss of Sharma, the power of the Holy Elephants is almost half as weak. Although we won this battle, judging by the losses, it might be worse than losing. We should evacuate as soon as possible..."

"I have already reported to the capital, they will send new Holy Elephants here, but before they arrive, this place will be the most empty. Therefore, we still need all the supporters to help us."

Hawthorne lowered his eyes. "I am flattered that the general can tell me these things from his heart. But unfortunately, facing this situation, I don't have any good solution."

"Although I have learned some spellcasting skills by chance, in the final analysis, I am only one person and cannot exert much power. Moreover, on the night of the double moon before, I also... Alas."

Wang Du was stunned: "What's wrong with you, Count?"

Huo Sang smiled bitterly and continued, "I'm afraid I'll disappoint General Wang Du. In fact, I've been seriously injured and have been recuperating and resting for some time."

"That night, our team faced the three-headed Balor Flame Demon alone without any support from the Poro side. The pressure we had to bear was indeed quite huge. Therefore, our losses may be heavier than the general expected."

Chapter 776 Wang Du’s Gift

Hawthorne's tone was neither salty nor bland. He deliberately brought up old matters, but what he said made Wang Du sweat profusely.

He never expected that Sharma would be so short-sighted that he repeatedly offended those people who helped Bharat out of kindness and compassion without asking for anything in return, just to satisfy his cheap arrogance...

This not only offended those people who brought their own dry food to support, but also left himself with a huge trouble.

These things require compensation in the form of blood.

Taking a deep breath, the elephant man made up his mind, and his big mouth opened again, revealing a relaxed smile: "Haha, actually I'm almost the same. Forget it, let's talk about this later, let's not talk about it today."

"Let's not stay here. This place is so depressing that it makes people feel suffocated. Father, let's go for a drive outside and take a look at the beautiful scenery of the city. What do you think of me taking you to see a place?"

A strange feeling arose in Hawthorne's heart, as if Wang Du had predicted his reaction and had already made a series of arrangements and decisions based on it.

This made him feel a little uneasy. Then, he saw the elephant man stand up, his two-meter-tall body almost touching the ceiling. Without giving him a chance to refuse, he said in a buzzing voice, "Father, please come with me. I have prepared the car."

null

Regarding his decision, after all, this is a goose that lays golden eggs, how can he just give it away so easily!

However, Wang Du suppressed all these opposing voices with an absolutely strong attitude, and today, he told Hawthorne his proposal.

"Father, what do you think of this idea?" He smiled, his mood bright as the blue sky.

Hawthorne narrowed his eyes, looked at everything in front of him, and the corners of his mouth curled up.

This guy has a good plan.

To the south is a holiday beach and to the east is a port. It seems to have great potential for development, which sounds good, but that is all in the future.

As for now?

Both places were close to the coast and were the front lines of the battle against the demons. If he agreed, he would have to fight to the death with the demons to protect his land.

Wang Du wanted to use this trick to tie himself to the chariot of the Bharata Kingdom. In this way, he would not be able to get out of it until the port of Gendra was completely safe.

What a calculation...

He thought so, but he didn't hate Wang Du's thoughts.

After all, although this guy is calculating, the benefits he pays are real.

Moreover, he gave him enough face, so Hawthorne could not think of any reason to refuse.

Well, since you can’t think of it, then just don’t refuse it.

Thinking of this, facing Wang Du's expectant gaze, he nodded slowly: "Okay, then I will build a monastery here."

Realizing that his plan was successful, Wang Du grinned and revealed a happy smile.

Chapter 777: Lyra Silverhand's Plan

Port of Liber, the top floor of the Black Staff Tower.

This is the residence of the Lady of the Black Staff, surrounded by huge French windows and covered with gorgeous brown carpets. A beautiful female tiefling in a black robe stands in the middle. She is the owner of this place, the Lady of the Black Staff of Libel Harbor, Vajera Safar.

Opposite her stood the public lord of Liberl Harbor, Layla Silverhand, with white hair draped over her shoulders and wearing a gorgeous sky-blue robe.

The two women were facing each other, and the atmosphere was tense for a moment. At this moment, the always confident and high-spirited Lady Blackstaff seemed a little restrained.

She pursed her lower lip, like a child who had made a mistake but was still too stubborn to admit it, and shook her head gently at Leila Silverhand, saying, "I'm sorry, Lord Mayor, I can't lend you the black staff."

Just today, Lyra Silverhand found her again and asked her to take the Black Staff to destroy Orcus.

Even though she had concerns about her identity, Vajera still chose to refuse.

Seeing her still have this reaction, Leila Silverhand sighed. This was not the first time she came here, and every time, Vajra firmly refused.

But today, she had to borrow the black stick.

"Child, I know that you have your own responsibilities." She said softly, "However, the fundamental purpose of my mother giving me this wand is still to protect the peace of the material world, isn't it?"

"It's just that the duty assigned to the holder of the black staff is to protect this area. It should not conflict with the fundamental purpose of the gods to protect the material world."

"Now, child, as you can see, the powerful Abyss Lord has entered the material world. The defense force of Po Luo cannot deal with the threat of Orcus alone. If it continues, the power of the Abyss Lord will bring deeper pollution and harm to the material world..."

"For that fundamental purpose, we should mobilize more forces from other places!"

She tried to persuade her with emotion and reason, but Vajra was unmoved. She pursed her lips, lowered her head, and did not respond immediately.

How could she not understand this? However, supporting the Kingdom of Borneo was not the duty of the holder of the Black Staff.

If something happened in Port Liber during the time when the Black Staff was loaned out, how could she be responsible for it?

She still shook her head, her attitude was extremely firm: "Black Staff and I have the responsibility to protect this place. I cannot bear the responsibility for failing in our duty."

As she spoke, her heart was pounding. Her thoughts were not as pure as she said, and underneath that, she actually had some selfish motives.

After she forcibly cast the ten-ring spell to exile Shude Mel last time, her strength had been reduced to a certain extent, and she is still in the recovery period.

Although this reduction is not fatal, she is still the most powerful spellcaster in Libel Harbor. However, after repelling Mephistopheles, the devil archduke has already plotted against her...

She could sense the guy's spying, and could predict the conspiracies against her. She needed the Black Staff to protect the city, and she also needed this artifact to protect herself, otherwise she would not have the confidence to fight against the subsequent assassinations of the devil dukes.

However, she was too ashamed to say these words out loud, fearing that Laila Silverhand would look down on her. After thinking for a while, she gave a more righteous reason: "The elephant god protects that land. They reject ordinary mages, and naturally they also reject the power of the goddess."

"City Lord, we should not usurp the authority of God-like beings. This may lead to greater conflicts."

This

This reason made Leila Silverhand speechless for a moment. She couldn't find a reason to refute, and felt a little embarrassed for a moment, and then her beautiful brows gradually frowned.

She could understand what Vajra was worried about, but she also had her own worries. Vajra had repeatedly stopped her from doing what she wanted to do, which made her very annoyed.

"I am the public lord of Liber Harbor, Lady Vajera Safar." Her voice gradually became stern. "I have the power to decide who will fulfill the duty of protecting Liber Harbor!"

She lost her patience, and at this moment, the former queen of the Northern Witch Kingdom showed the majesty that a ruler should have.

Vajra's body trembled slightly, and her amber eyes widened. She was a little bit unbelievable that Laila Silverhand would go to such lengths to quarrel with her!

"I can also declare that during this period, you are not responsible for the safety of Libel Port." Leila Silverhand continued in front of him, her voice sounding extremely ruthless, "Now, I need to use the power of the Black Staff, so please give me the artifact that my mother left in the material world."

Vajra's body trembled slightly. This was the first time she faced the wrath of a demigod. She pursed her lips, sighed, stretched out her hand, and silently chanted a spell.

In midair, a dark red flame appeared, then split in the middle and spread to the upper and lower sides. In the center of the two flames, a huge, jet-black staff slowly appeared.

It looked ordinary, like an ordinary long wooden stick. However, Leila Silverhand's eyes suddenly became extremely hot. The thing in front of her was what she came here for today, the artifact left by the goddess of magic in the material world, the black stick!

"Please let the city lord take it away." She lowered her head and said softly, "In the meantime, I will try my best to ensure that Libel Port will not fall into danger."

Looking at her depressed expression, the anger in Leila Silverhand's heart gradually dissipated, and then she felt a little guilty.

"Don't worry." She said softly, "I will deal with Orcus as quickly as possible, and then I will return safely."

After she finished speaking, she reached out and grasped the black staff in her hand, then turned around, her body turned into a white light, and teleported away.

At the spot, Vajra sighed softly. She knew that the next few months would be very tormenting...

On the other side, on the sea south of the Kingdom of Borneo, on the moon elves' moon boat.

Kasha's mother, the captain of the moon ship, Anastasia, stood at the bow, waiting quietly. The season was slowly moving towards summer, and it was noon. The sun was hanging high in the sky, and the warm sea breeze made her feel very comfortable.

She stayed here, basking in the sun and enjoying the sea breeze, quietly waiting for her date today.

Fortunately, she didn't have to wait too long. Soon, a silver teleportation magic light appeared on the bow, and then a white-haired figure holding a black magic wand appeared on the bow.

That person was none other than Lyra Silverhand, who had already obtained the Black Staff.

Anastria turned her head and looked at the man with a smile. The moon elf then lowered her head and said jokingly, "Moon elf Anna, I pay my respects to Her Majesty the Queen!"

In front, Leila Silverhand couldn't help but smile: "Anna, please stop teasing me. Why should we be so distant between you and me?"

Anastasia blinked her eyes, her eyebrows full of playfulness. The two had been close friends for hundreds of years. Although one was now the public lord of the most prosperous port city in the world and a legendary wizard, and the other had married and had children, gradually retreating behind the scenes, this did not affect their relationship.

The old friends reunited after a long separation, and both of them were filled with emotion. However, without much reminiscing or delay, Lyra Silverhand continued with a serious look: "Can the power of the Moon God really erase Orcus' soul and completely kill it in the material world?"

Anastasia nodded gently. "Yes, I had this guess a long time ago, but the cost of the experiment was too high, so I was not sure."

"But after watching Father Nigel Hawthorne fight, I am now certain that the purest source of divine power can directly erase the souls of demons in the material world, making it impossible for them to be resurrected in the abyss."

"This also means that the goddess of life should have been resurrected, and he is the chosen one of the goddess of mercy. But this is not important for the time being. I have already asked my lord, and she agreed to support me with more powerful forces."

"If you are sure, then we can completely eliminate Ocus, the scourge that has been spreading for thousands of years, in one fell swoop!"

Chapter 778 The New Monastery is Completed

Hearing this, Leila Silverhand took a deep breath, and her full breasts hidden under the light blue robe rose and fell, showing her excitement at the moment.

The destruction of Orcus would be a major change that has not happened in a thousand years, both for the Abyss and for the material world. It would be an event that would be recorded in the history books and remembered forever for all generations!

There must be no room for any mistakes in this matter!

"I see. Next, we just need to wait for an opportunity." Leila Silverhand nodded and said, "I'm not familiar with this place. Anna, you can make the arrangements. We must ensure everything is absolutely safe. We only have one chance."

Anastria smiled and nodded: "Of course, I have already contacted General Wang Du and have a rough plan."

"Oh, Leila, if everything goes well, the magic wand in its hand might become your magic weapon, Leila."

Leila Silverhand nodded slightly, then smiled: "To be honest, I have the same plan."

She smiled, her blue eyes gleaming with anticipation.

She was not just doing this for the peace of the material world, she also had her own selfish motives. Because of the departure of the Magic Goddess, her strength had weakened a lot, and if she could destroy Orcus and take his artifact, then her strength would be restored to its original level.

If this is done well, it can be said that we can kill two birds with one stone!

……

A few days later, at night, the sky was starless and only a single moon hung high in the sky.

In Gendra Port, in the middle of the bustling intersection that Wang Du promised to Hawthorne, Hawthorne stood here alone, fiddling with his system, took a deep breath, and then began to make plans.

hum-

As the warm white light fell, the dilapidated buildings were renovated. A wall was built on the open space behind the street, and the symbol of the goddess of life automatically appeared on the church in the center, announcing that a brand new monastery had been completed.
