The Death List Novel - Chapter 372
Chapter 372 Divine Artist
Even as Elistine walked out of Qin Lun’s room, his mind was still in a mess, and he couldn’t even tell where he was heading.
This afternoon, the image of the elven mercenary holding her companion, covered in blood, had unknowingly disappeared from her mind. Standing in front of Qin Lun, she felt as if she was facing those crafty elven elders in the clan.
Of course, even though the elven druid lacked experience, she wasn’t stupid. Combined with what she had seen and heard in the Royal Court over the years, she believed in Qin Lun’s analysis and judgement without much thought.
“Elistine!” Just as he was absent-minded, a gentle voice came from behind the elven druid.
“Prince Kris!” Elistine’s expression was still somewhat absent-minded. Only when he saw the Elf Prince behind him did he regain his senses. He took a deep breath and performed an ancient etiquette.
“Irna, we grew up together. Do we need to be so unfamiliar?” When Kris saw this ancient and respectful etiquette, a bitter smile appeared on his face.
Hearing Elna’s nickname, Elistine trembled slightly and quickly turned around. “Prince, we have all grown up. Please don’t address each other by the nickname of the elves from before.”
She paused for a moment, her shoulders trembling slightly, and her chest began to heave violently, as if she had just run a long distance. Panting, she said with some difficulty, “Also … tell His Majesty that I appreciate his kindness, but Elistine is the Moon Fairy’s Elistine, and my husband can only be a Moon Fairy.”
After saying this, Elistine staggered and ran to the other end of the corridor without looking back.
‘”Elistine” Kris’s handsome face suddenly turned pale and his blood color faded away. It wasn’t until the elven druid ran a distance that he remembered something and hurriedly chased after the elf druid.
“Prince, prince … His Majesty has instructed …” The guard behind Kris seemed to understand what was going on between the two of them. He hurriedly grabbed the Elf Prince and tried to persuade him.
“Get lost!” Kris was furious and kicked a guard knight away.
Dong! The elven knight in full plate armor smashed into the aisle wall, making a sound like piling on a foundation. The knight guard with good strength slipped down from the wall, revealing a spider web-like crack behind him. He couldn’t even stand up after holding on for a few times.
“Prince Kris!” The remaining elven knight shouted and knelt down in front of Kris, blocking his path once again. The elven knight who was kicked away finally stood up trembling and knelt down beside his companion.
Kris looked up and saw that Elistine had already turned the corner of the corridor and disappeared without a trace. He was so angry that his entire body trembled and he was dumbfounded.
“Pu!” Kris’s expression changed as he stood there. Suddenly, his heart ached and he spat out a mouthful of blood.
“Prince!” The two elven knights exchanged glances and their faces darkened. These royal bodyguards belonged to the same generation as Kris and Elistine, and they were well aware of the deep feelings they had for each other. If it wasn’t for their duty, they wouldn’t have stopped Kris.
A few days ago, King Testament had given Elistine a proposal to marry Kris and promise to make their future children the next generation of Elf Kings.
This could be considered a solution to the current crisis of the Jondar Fairy’s secession, but it was not a good one. The reason for that was because the combination of different elves not only had a very low fertility rate, but also the child’s physique was very poor, so it was easy to die young, and there would not be any mixed-blood children. Or green elves, or moon elves.
In this way, the meaning was different. King Testament’s decision was resisted by most of the green elf elders. Although they couldn’t openly oppose the Fairy King, they made a condition.
That was, the Elf King could not force Kris and Elistine’s own will. It was up to the two young men to decide their own fate. Kris and Elistine were childhood sweethearts, and they were extremely close. The Green Elf Elder’s suggestion seemed to be lifting a rock and smashing himself in the foot, but in reality, it was not.
For the Fairy King’s side, Prince Kris, who loved Elistine, had no objections to the marriage, but Elistine was different because the proposal did not include the Moon Fairy side.
Elistine herself wouldn’t have any objections, but she was a descendant of the Moon Fairy’s royal family after all, so she had to consider her own clansmen. Since the Moon Fairy tribal elders had made the decision to relocate, it was impossible for them to stay behind for Elistine alone.
Compared to the Moon Elf King in the Anke Forest, why did they want the entire clan to stay? They were betting on a future Moon Elf King that didn’t even have a 20% chance of surviving. Anyway, ordinary Moon Fairies didn’t have a royal bloodline. As long as the Elf King was a Moon Fairy, it didn’t matter who they chose.
Looking at the glowing blood on the white gloves, Kris Green Leaf was somewhat confused. After a while, he finally let out a long sigh and turned around to leave.
However, he did not know that Elistine was actually not far away. Hearing the sound of footsteps gradually fading away, the elven druid clung to the wall at the corner, covered his mouth and closed his eyes. Two lines of tears rolled down his long eyelashes.
…
At this moment, at the edge of Jondar Forest, seven or eight figures were rushing into the forest. As soon as three of them entered the forest, they jumped onto a tall tree and vigilantly observed the plains outside the forest. There, a group of heavily armed human knights slowly reined in their mounts and watched them disappear into the forest.
“I’ve finally gotten rid of it!” Stark took a deep breath and said somewhat exhausted.
“If they dare to chase after the forest and accept the main mission two days later, they must kill them all.” Philip clenched his staff and sneered, “Since the two of them have already completed their guidance mission this afternoon, they should be able to trigger the main plot tomorrow, which saves us a lot of work.”
“We’d better get to the Demon Cup Royal Court as soon as possible. I always feel that it’s not good to hand over the choice of the main plot to an outsider.” A charming female voice came from behind Philip.
A female elf wearing a white silk robe lifted her hood, revealing a delicate melon-seeded face. However, her slightly charming phoenix eyes destroyed this delicate temperament. When her eyebrows opened and closed, it always made people feel a trace of craftiness and seductiveness.
She was Nicole, the third Second Grade apostle of the fortress guild, and her combat profession was a divine mage. Divine Artists were one of the advanced professions of priests, and they belonged to a very special combat profession.
This was especially true because a divine artist could become a powerful export profession, a powerful defense profession, and a purely auxiliary profession. It depended on the combination of divine artists’ skills.
Divine Artists generally had their own divine-like attributes, and they would have a core media item on their bodies. Through this item, they would construct a virtual god to obtain the divine art source.
Theoretically, a Divine Artist could grasp the divine laws of all divine professions. However, due to limited resources, apostles who changed professions usually focused all their efforts on developing a single divine profession, not all of them. Nicole was a pure healing nanny.
However, few apostles really chose the profession of divine masters, because there was another special aspect to this profession, and its applicability was very poor. Divine Arts, Divine Arts, Divine Talents have divine abilities. If there were no divinities and religions in the quest world, what would happen?
For example, in some high-tech worlds, there were no magical laws, and the popularity of religious beliefs was very low. Most people were atheists, so a Divine Artist would be suppressed to death by the laws of the world in such a different space and time, and Tier 2 professions would not be able to display Tier 1 strength.
If she really encountered this kind of mission world, Nicole would be of little help in high-intensity battles. On the other hand, if her religious beliefs were so widespread that she could even form a complete divine magical world, then her abilities would be greatly increased. A C-level skill can exert a B-level effect, while a Tier 2 skill can be used as a Tier 3 skill.
Not only did Toril have a complete divine system, there was even more than one divine system. Almost every race had their own divine system, and there were no fewer than a few hundred gods combined. As for Demigod, they were as numerous as a cow’s hair.
Nicole’s divine abilities were Nature, Forest, and Moon. The apostolic abilities she derived were wood and healing divine abilities. In this world, her virtual gods corresponded to several divine attributes. Adding on her identity as an elf, she now corresponded to the elf’s goddess of life, Angeles, and the forest goddess, Reiffen Lelefy.
These were two extremely powerful elven gods, which correspondingly increased Nicole’s strength. In all seriousness, her current skill had already caught up to a Third Grade Priest class apostle.
“It doesn’t matter, Qin Lun still has Longer with him.” Philip spoke up for Qin Lun with a rare grin. “That brat is very smart. He should know the weight. Besides, after the main plot is shared, Stark can only take it. Otherwise, he will be doing the quest alone.”
“That’s rare, Philip, that stinking mouth of yours can actually speak good words for others … Is that newbie from Tian Fu really as powerful as you say?” Nicole rolled her eyes, a trace of interest on her face.
“Haha, I’m not sure if Li is strong yet. However, his mind is pretty good. You have also contributed to your successful return.” Stark and Philip exchanged glances and smiled tacitly for the first time.
Nicole’s storyline character was a green elf and the head of the mixed elven and human mercenary corps. However, she was not a Jondahl elf, but a descendant of the Ilfarang elves of the Mill Forest. He was only entrusted by King Testament to lead his mixed mercenary group to the Mill Forest as an envoy.
Her mission was to bring King Testament’s message to the Fairy Court in Mill Forest, mainly for the World Tree Seed. It was just that their luck was bad that they left Jondar Forest and were ambushed by the Human Knights, completely annihilated.
Nicole’s female elf and two other female elves were captured and poisoned by the human knight. However, the knights didn’t know that the bodies of the three female elves weren’t adapted to this poison. They died on the way and were possessed by Nicole and the others.
Perhaps it was due to the guidance arrangement of the Broken Star System, Nicole and the others had no effect of removing the paralysis. They could only helplessly be escorted to Elbard and wait for their companions to rescue them.
Qin Lun had only two suggestions for Stark and Philip, but they both played a big role. The first proposal was to let the fortress team complete the guidance mission two and a half days ahead of schedule, without missing out on some of the key plot choices.
The second beheading proposal allowed the fortress team to exchange the kidnapped Lord Elbard for Nicole and the others without using any trump cards.
Before the main mission was triggered, the more trump cards you saved, the more helpful it would be for the rest of the mission. Stark and Philip understood this, so for the first time, they resolved their differences and expressed their admiration for Kieran.
“Long Er is very happy this time. He easily obtained the 5 Longevity Soul Limit.” Philip smiled and shook his head. He narrowed his eyes and suddenly said, “Stark, do you think our fortress team can keep this Qin Lun?”
