Chapter 215: The forbidden item numbered '0'——[World Recollection]!
Deya signaled Mavis with his eyes, asking who this elf old lady was.

Although the old elf lady did not actively display any power, she just stood there. No matter how kind her expression was, Deya felt an indescribable pressure.

It was as if one was facing the entire nature, facing the dense forests, facing the majestic mountains, facing the towering snow-capped mountains. It was as if the whole world was standing against oneself, oppressing people and making it hard to breathe.

Deya had this feeling before, when he faced the eight-ring strong man from the Church of Silence.

It’s just that the feeling of oppression brought to him by this old elf lady is even stronger.

Of course, because at this time Deya had reached the peak of the seventh ring and gained the knowledge of "death" from Patricia.

Therefore, his resistance is much stronger than before. Even though the old lady in front of him is awe-inspiring, Deya will not completely lose his ability to resist.

Especially Ignis and Celeste, they both showed a wary look after seeing the old lady. Although the two have always been at odds with each other, they did not communicate with each other in private.

But when Deya faced danger, they all stepped forward and blocked Deya behind them.

Being protected by two women behind him also made Deya feel unusually safe.

It turns out that the best thing for a man is to live off his wife!

The witch Mavis looked at the old elf in front of her with a complicated expression, "She is the high priest of the Balance Watcher. It is said that the high priest is more than 2000 years old and has been protecting the elves."

The old elf high priest looked at Mavis with kind eyes and said, "It's been a long time, Mavis. I'm very sorry for what happened to you."

"If it were me in the past, I could still use my prestige among the elves to prevent you from being cruelly abused."

But now I am very old, and the elves' belief in balance and nature has gradually faded, and I am no longer able to influence the elves' decisions.

Force is not within the teachings of the Balance. I can only watch this happen with regret."

Mavis frowned and snorted, "High Priest, are you here to plead for the Elf King's Court? If so, it would be a waste of time.

I respect you very much, and you did want to help me once, but this is not a reason for me to forgive Wang Ting.

I will not forgive the mistakes made by those people just because of this favor and morality."

The high priest sighed and said, "I haven't used my old face to ask for your forgiveness yet. I can no longer control what happens to the royal court."

As she spoke, she glanced at Ignis and Celeste again, especially at Celeste.

“Those high elves in the royal court thought that you were the only one here, Mavis, but they didn’t expect that there was a nine-ringed silver dragon and a corrupt god here.

They will probably have to pay the price for their arrogance this time. The Fate Church wants them to completely destroy our elves."

At the end, there was suppressed anger in the old lady's words.

The words of the high priest made Deya understand that the nine orthodox churches were not united. For example, the Church of Destiny and the Watchers of Balance were also scheming against each other.

"With your power, High Priest, why don't you expel the Church of Destiny?"

Mavis frowned, expressing her confusion.

The high priest said: "There is nothing to hide about this matter. The Watchers of the Balance were traumatized in an ancient war and are recovering.

Therefore, He could no longer grant powerful powers to the priests, and the Church of Destiny took this opportunity to steal the faith of the elves.

As for me, an old lady, haha, I am actually already at the end of my strength. It seems that I still possess the power of the Nine Rings and am still the most powerful person in the elves.

But in reality, I have long been unable to use this power. I have only survived this long with this power. As long as I use the power of the Nine Rings once, my life will be completely gone.

I am not afraid of death. I have lived for so many years, but I cannot die for no reason. This strength should be used at the most critical moment. "

Mavis said coldly: "The so-called most critical moment is now? Do you want to use your own power to stop us?"

The Elf High Priest shook his head and said, "I don't know. It depends on what you want to do. If you want to wipe out the elves, even if I know I am no match for you, I will fight to the death.

But if you have other purposes, for the survival of the elves, I can accept any conditions.

The hundreds of thousands of elves outside who were captured by you as slaves were not abused at all, and you also provided them with sufficient food.

This shows that you are not here to completely exterminate the elves, so perhaps we can resolve the dispute through communication."

Unexpectedly, Mavis suddenly asked: "What if I want to destroy the royal court?"

Deya couldn't help but look at Mavis. This was the first time that Mavis took the initiative to tell him her real purpose.

She really wants to kill all her own people!
Deya wondered what kind of people were around him.

Sally killed her own father without any hesitation, and even wanted to kill her entire family.

Mavis is also going to kill her blood family!

"If you just want to kill the royal family, old lady, I won't stop you. I just hope you can leave some high elves behind. Not all high elves are at fault."

The high priest of the elves was silent for a moment and then stated his bottom line.

“Okay, I don’t intend to kill all the high elves. Although their arrogance is disgusting, I only want to kill the royal family and the few families that rule the high elves.

And it’s time for the elves to change. Under the leadership of such high elves, the elves will never have a way out!"

Mavis smiled charmingly, but her words were full of murderous intent.

What is the fastest way to resolve the conflict? That is to physically kill all those people.

Huang Chao gave you a thumbs up.

Deya complained in his heart.

Knowing Mavis's purpose was a blessing in disguise for the old elf lady. At least Mavis didn't want to destroy all the elves.

She looked at Deya and asked, "Human necromancer, why are you here? In addition to helping Mavis, you must have your own purpose."

Deya and Mavis looked at each other, he nodded, and said bluntly: "I am here for the real history."

The high priest showed an expression of as expected, and she said: "Old lady, I have never paid attention to the outside world, but now it seems that the plan of those gods has succeeded."

Deya was shocked and said, "You really do know something."

The high priest of the elves said with a smile: "As an elf who has lived for more than 2000 years, I can be considered a living history.

Perhaps there are beings in this world who have lived longer than me, such as those dragons, and there may even be dragons that are over 5,000 years old. But if you ask the dragons, they may not be able to tell you anything, because dragons never record history, nor do they recall the past, let alone pay attention to what happened in the past.

Elves are just like humans, and they even care more about history than humans. Now, the only ones who know the most ancient secrets are the elves, and I, an old lady."

Deya frowned and asked, "Because most creatures can no longer live past a thousand years?"

The elf's high priest said: "This is a curse from the gods, a historical fog set by the gods. If I didn't have the help of the 'Balance Watcher', I would not be able to break through this curse.

But even so, I was greatly affected, my power was completely restricted, and if I used it, I would perish in the mist of history."

Deya pursed his lips and said, “This is what I ask, as long as you tell me the true history and open the door for me to be promoted to the eighth ring.

Then my request is the same as Mavis's. I will not do anything to the elves. At most, I will help Mavis kill those elves who once had ill intentions towards her.

But as for the elves as a whole, I will not harm them in the slightest. I can even help you through the crisis when the elves need it."

Deya had no hatred towards the elves, but the arrogance of those high elves forced him to choose this violent method.

He has always had only one goal, which is to obtain the history and knowledge he wants and open the door to promotion!

“I can’t refuse your proposal, old lady. If I can only exchange some history for the promise of a strong man, then it will all be worth it.

Moreover, this true history should have been passed down. The gods have gone too far. They should not deny the true history because this is denying the past of all races.

Since you want to know, I am here, old lady, to tell you everything I know."

As he spoke, the high priest of the elves seemed to be lost in reminiscence, or as if he was carefully considering his words.

Deya was a little surprised and asked, "Don't we need to sign any contract?"

"A contract is just a type of magic. Even a contract of nine rings can be terminated manually.

Unless it is a contract established under the witness of the gods and based on the promise of the gods, but now even the gods cannot bring down their divine punishment, so what is the use of the gods' witness?

Besides, I watched Mavis being born and growing up. Although I can't do anything for her, I know her very well.

Mavis will keep her promise, and I believe you will too."

The high priest of the elves was quite generous and even easier to talk to than one might imagine.

If all elves are like this, then they are indeed a race that loves peace and nature.

The old elf lady seemed to see through Deya's thoughts. She did not flatter the elves and said, "Only devout believers of balance would have such a mentality.

As for the arrogance that comes from the bones of other elves, it is not their arrogance, but in ancient times, the elves had a prosperous civilization and advanced technology, and they once ruled the world.

Since then, the arrogance of the elves has been formed. In addition, the elves have a long lifespan, so this habit will not disappear in a short time. "

Deya was not very interested in what happened to the elves in the past. What he wanted to know more was the experience of the entire world and everything related to the gods.

"Young people are just too impatient. This matter itself should be traced back to a much earlier era."

The old elf lady shook her head.

"Then please go ahead."

Deya also showed a gesture of respecting the elderly and loving the young.

The Elf High Priest spoke slowly: "In the beginning, countless races lived together on this land, and the elves were the most powerful race among them.

We developed a powerful magical civilization, and art reached its peak. In addition, the elves had a long lifespan, and each elf had his or her own talents. At that time, the elves were the true rulers of this land.

In the eyes of the elves, any other race is barbaric and uncivilized. The elves are proud of their own civilization, but at that time, the elves all believed in the Watchers of Balance.

The elves who believe in the Watchers of Balance are self-disciplined and although they are arrogant, they do not use force and love peace and nature. "

Deya listened quietly, and even Patricia became serious. She needed the truth of these historical facts to help her recover all her memories.

The elves may have really had an extremely advanced civilization, but it doesn’t matter whether they really loved peace and nature at that time.

From the magic of the royal court, Deya could feel the powerful force once possessed by the elves.

"With the development of civilization and the development of various races, some ancient wills have gradually awakened. These wills are the cognition of the world by different races, combined with the rules of the world itself to give birth to 'living beings'.

And they are the so-called gods. Gods, like the Eight Rings and the Nine Rings, are the embodiment of cognition, but their cognition of the world is deeper. It is composed of the aggregation of the cognition of countless creatures and cannot be compared with a single individual.

Gods are born in the divine world in 'cognition', but when gods are born, they become the embodiment of the laws of the world and are not bound by cognition. "

The words of the Elf High Priest finally made Deya understand what the gods of this world are.

To put it simply, the birth of gods is similar to believing in gods. They are living beings born from the beliefs of various races and their understanding of the world and nature.

But gods are not gods of faith. When they are born, there is actually no need for faith anymore. They become personifications of certain laws.

"About 10,000 years ago, or maybe it was a little different, I'm not sure about the exact time, the first group of outsiders came to this material world. They were giant dragons, a group of powerful and terrifying creatures!

The arrival of the alien dragon broke the balance among the various races at that time. Although some dragons were peace-loving, more dragons liked to use absolute force to solve problems.

That was an era when elves and dragons danced together. Although individual dragons were powerful, the elves were also strong. The two races became the main theme of that era, competing with each other for dominance over the world.

The final result was not a loss for both sides, but after both sides found that neither could do anything to the other, it ended in peace. In this process, the dragon was completely integrated into this world. "

At this point, the Elf High Priestess's expression became moved, because from her words it can be seen that even in the era when elves and dragons danced together, the elves did not decline and remained strong.

The elves began to decline after that, and even came very close to extinction.

Deya also became curious about what happened after that.

The Elf High Priest took a deep breath and said painfully, "About five thousand years ago, a second group of outsiders came to this world. They had a name that was familiar to everyone, and that was - Humans!"

The old lady smiled bitterly: "Necromancer, do you know? Thousands of years ago, forbidden objects were numbered. Before the arrival of humans, forbidden objects did not exist. They appeared because of the arrival of humans.

The leader of the humans who came was called the 'First Mage', the 'Source of All Magic', and he also brought the first forbidden artifact numbered '0', and the name of that forbidden artifact was -"

"——World Remembrance!"
