Chapter 421: Neymar’s Adventure

"Can you open this cage?"

"No, this magic seems to be suppressing my own magic," Malfurion said. "Right now, it’s a bit difficult."

This cage is specifically designed to restrain elven magic, and it will likely require a different method to open it.

Even if Malfurion can open this cage, it will take some effort.

Moreover, letting Messiah out could put Null, 『』, the princess, and others in danger, which would not be a good thing.

"I understand. Let’s go outside first; I have something very important to report," Messiah said, not dwelling on it.

Observing Malfurion from the shadows and seeing him so reliable, she felt relieved.

It seems there’s no need to take action now… The rest will be decided by the leader.

……

"Don’t worry about them for now, it’s important to gather the army!" Karoso shouted.

Teresa gritted her teeth, feeling upset that the cooked duck had flown away, but Karoso was right; the most important thing now was to gather the army.

Half an hour later, the group came together again.

『』 looked at Tom with annoyance, and Tom looked innocent, "I really can’t help; he could defeat me in a second…"

"It’s not your fault. We just need you as a guide, not to fight for us," Karoso reassured him.

"I have to say, your performance today is a bit weak. If that guy can beat you, how did you manage to kill two eighth-tier fighters that day?" Teresa looked at Karoso with suspicion.

"He comes from the same place we do."

Once Karoso explained, 『』 and Teresa understood immediately.

"We come from the same place, what place is that?" Tom blinked his eyes.

"It’s none of your business, you useless snack." 『』 glared at Tom.

Tom smirked, "Hmph, he makes mistakes too. It’s normal for someone as weak as me to make mistakes… Women are so forgiving to the ones they like, but no matter how hard they try, they won’t be moved by those they don’t."

"What do you mean ‘like’? He is my student." 『』’s pretty face turned bright red up to her neck.

Like a little kid? What a joke, I’m about the same age as his mother!

Besides, I watched him grow up, okay!

"I never said it was that kind of ‘like’. Friends can ‘like’ each other, adults and children can ‘like’ each other, classmates can ‘like’ each other. It’s LIKE, not LOVE," Tom teased.

[Hahaha, 『』 got excited.]

[She’s blushing, she’s blushing!]

[Will my master and I part the clouds to see the blue sky?]

[What I am playing is 『』; in other words, now I feel shy, oh, I really want to kiss!]

[Looking at Honey Karoso’s helpless expression, I felt a warm flutter.]

[Please, aunts, have some dignity.]

[Honey Karoso is almost an adult now; soon, he can play some grown-up games with the aunts.]

[Oh… I have unknowingly been watching Honey Karoso for so long; I have really seen him grow up.]

[Nurturing someone is the best!]

[Let’s clear up the buzzing comments when feeling feverish.]

[At this moment, we need someone like this to help move the feelings along.]

[Master Karoso, don’t worry about those aunts. This one right here is the best! Age doesn’t matter; a girl three years older is still worthy!]

[This person is so interesting! How come we haven’t met them before?]

[Yeah, I’ve played this level several times recently and haven’t seen this person anywhere.]

[I have a theory: the level we’re in is from before the main story starts. It’s a memory from Null, 『』, and ‘Minaret.’ Null and 『』 already have amnesia, and their memory is incomplete… Is it possible that in this level, Null or 『』 met this person, but forgot about them?]

[Wow, that’s a bold guess!]

[The only deity we’ve clearly encountered is Neymar. We haven’t even seen any statues of the others. Master Karoso has met them a few times, yet our main group has not come across them at all. Even with Merlin’s experience, there are no images of the deities, which doesn’t make sense.]

[Exactly! Master Karoso suspects that he is a god, and gods can be forgotten.]

[The game company may not have thought this far, but everything in this world should follow logic. It’s possible that Null and 『』 really did meet some gods, but they vanished from their memory.]

Karoso looked at the bullet comment in front of him; they were all used to meeting people like that.

The question is whether Karoso’s priority is work or something else.

However, the speculations from netizens opened a new perspective for Karoso.

Are the so-called past memories they are playing with those of Teacher Null and Teacher 『』 from before? Could they have actually encountered a god?

Smack!

『』 cannot see the bullet comments, she gave Tom’s back of the head a slap, "Talk less and do more! With that attitude, you’ll never find a girlfriend!"

"Hmph…" Tom said proudly, "There’s a girl named Diana, she’s pretty and has a great figure, and even though she chased me, I didn’t agree. It’s not just her; her cousin Leona chased me all the way into this barrier, and she’s still looking for me inside."

"Wow, wow, wow… What a love expert." 『』 snorted and ignored him.

"Let’s get to the point." Teresa was not interested in this nonsense, "What do we do next?"

"Keep gathering our forces, and don’t let anyone delay us." Karoso said.

……

Church of the Elves, Government Hall.

Anwen felt relieved to see Messiah.

To her surprise, Malfurion was indeed capable; she might have misunderstood him before.

At least he brought Messiah back.

When Messiah returned, she immediately saw Anwen and told her everything that happened after meeting Karoso, swearing to the gods that she did not lie or betray the Forest of Elves.

Anwen listened to Messiah’s report, her brow deeply furrowed.

Knowing the entire plan of the Forest of Elves was a big deal!

Also, that person knew too much about the Forest of Elves; changes were necessary.

"He knows so much; among us, there must be a traitor." Messiah said seriously, "If we don’t handle this well, we will definitely lose the next war."

"It shouldn’t be an insider, I suspect it’s the Great Prophecy…" Anwen looked up at Messiah and said, "The only one who knows this much should be me. If there is a traitor… then it can only be me."

"Huh?" Messiah was taken aback, "If the plan is good, then we could all have gathered intelligence…"

"But that wouldn’t add up, because some information is known only to me, even things I’ve just thought of that haven’t been put into action yet." Anwen replied, "Some things haven’t happened, but in my mind, it could definitely happen."

Messiah’s expression changed, "Could it be a spell similar to my Dreamland Magic…"

"If someone could steal my thoughts, that would be rather scary." Anwen sighed.

If a ninth-level mind is stolen, the caster must also be at least ninth level.

With this suspicion, Anwen didn’t feel joy about knowing this in advance; instead, she felt a bit sad and a lot more pressure.

The unknown, understanding oneself too well, is something no one wants to face.

"They also have special magic to control me, which seems to target all elves." Messiah felt a bit afraid thinking about that cage.

"Hmm, they came well-prepared…" Anwen sighed, "Continue telling me about them, how did Malfurion save you?"

Messiah repeated this.

"Um… two people fought with Malfurion…" Anwen rubbed her chin, "They didn’t use soldiers, not even archers…"

"Well, the troops they gathered aren’t many, if they used those few soldiers, they would be easily wiped out." Messiah said.

Low-level soldiers are useless unless they form a certain scale.

If they used them at this time, it would be like throwing stones into water.

"Who is this person, and which side are they on…" Anwen sighed.

"They must be from the Goddess of the Night’s side." Messiah gritted her teeth and said, "That man’s fighting style, although flashy, is still more like a warrior."

"Two flashy fighting styles, one pure warrior, may not be from the Church of the Goddess of the Night. There aren’t many soldiers from the Church of the Goddess of the Night; there are mostly knights." Anwen stroked his chin, "I suspect a fifth force has gotten involved… Didn’t he use the Mark of the Divine Favor?"

"Sorry, the terrain isn’t suitable for me. They don’t play fair, two against one, and I couldn’t force out his Mark of the Divine Favor…" Messiah felt a bit ashamed.

"It’s okay, you’ve done very well." Anwen let out a sigh of relief.

The Forest of Elves may have to tighten security and hide away; I hope this force doesn’t belong to the Church of the Goddess of the Night, otherwise, the Church of the Goddess of the Night really has the ability to take on three at once.

Unfortunately, we are not familiar with what’s below; they know it well. If we go down there, we will definitely be the ones at a disadvantage.

With so many troops below, we can only hand over control.

We must strengthen our defenses at the entrance; we need to block them. If they come out from there, it would be a huge disaster for us.

I even need to see if I can move the teleportation circle…

Damn it, I wish I had the power of the Church of Wisdom God.

With this in mind, Anwen broke out in a cold sweat and quickly began to pray.

To actually hope for the power of the God of Wisdom is truly a sin…

……

Church of the God of Wisdom, a level five magic guild.

This is the place that teaches heroes spells and also trains wizards.

The Church of the God of Wisdom values this place the most; all wizards learn here.

There is a huge collection of books here, especially ancient ones, including even the spells given by the gods.

Neymar waited for Karoso to come find her and didn’t think to take the initiative; since she had spare time, she thought it was better to look at these books related to the gods.

She didn’t realize it at first, but once she looked, she was shocked; Neymar felt completely dazed.

"Jaina, look at this introduction to the magic circle… Is it similar to the Divine Punishment Magical Circle?" Neymar looked at Jaina beside her.

"This…" Jaina looked at the introduction in front of her, also very surprised.

This thing really is the Divine Punishment Magical Circle!

The Church of the Dawn Goddess is powerful and has absolute authority because they control the Divine Punishment Magical Circle, which other churches have not kept.

As long as they hold off the enemy and use Light Momentum, they can defeat those at level ten.

If we share this knowledge, will the Church of the Wisdom God also have the Divine Punishment Magical Circle?

Jaina was suddenly overjoyed!

The Church of the Wisdom God already has a deity watching over them. Now they seem to be sharing power with the Flame War God Church and the Church of the Dawn Goddess. If they also master this devastating weapon, then…

"Hmm, this magic circle has a problem; it is designed for this era, and our magic might not suit this magic circle… But we should study it." Neymar stroked her chin.

When Jaina heard Neymar say that, she looked again and was instantly very disappointed.

Damn, why is this dungeon the one from before the Card God Domain covered the world?

This magical circle is gathered from the power of Professionals using Magic Potions, or the powers of first-tier Professionals from this era…

The magical attributes of the two eras are different, and the ways to increase magic power are different; this cannot be used!

It’s like things made with water and things made with oil; even if the steps are the same, they are not the same thing.

By that time, not only will I not be able to create a Divine Punishment Magical Circle, but I might even blow myself up.

"The power of hundreds or thousands of first-tier Professionals, no, I don’t even need Professionals; the power of minions is enough." Neymar quietly looked at the book in front of her, "When these powers gather, they can even injure or kill an eighth-tier being; this is very common in this era."

"Even the lowest-level skeleton archer, if there are enough of them, can kill a ninth-tier."

"So, if we change the casting medium to gunpowder and blood energy, would that work?"

"If it is changed like this… ordinary people can also gain powerful strength. The impact of one or two people is small, but what about hundreds, thousands, or even tens of thousands? Could it be that in the future, ten thousand people could threaten a ninth-tier Professional?"

"For example, if a battalion fires into the sky, and an eighth-tier strong person gets hit, it’s like the combined firepower of a battalion hitting them. What would happen?"

"What if everyone could form this kind of magic circle, or modify it into a rule that ordinary people could learn easily…?"

"I know how this magic circle was lost," Jaina said, her expression becoming a bit uneasy.

High-level Professionals are very powerful and above everyone else.

If ordinary people had the ability to threaten them, then the powerful Professionals would surely eliminate this possibility to protect their status and rule. Not to mention studying the modified version of this magic circle.

"My lord, if this magic circle can really be passed on, it must be a top secret. I swear to you, my lord, I will not leak it." Jaina said seriously, "And the direction of the improvements must only suit Professionals… and perhaps only our Church of Wisdom God’s believers can use it. Let’s not think about blood and gunpowder for now."

Theoretically, Jaina’s position doesn’t allow her to give Neymar suggestions, but since Neymar ‘hasn’t awakened yet,’ Jaina needs to say a few words.

After all, this matter is too important.
