Chapter 226 Magical Past Of The Palace

The cannon gunner had a huge hand cannon hung behind his back, while the devil hunter had a magical bow in his hand, and lastly, the shield-bearer had a mini-shield…

All the professionals were armed with various magical equipment. The sight opened the players’ eyes. Many of the players were flooding the live broadcast rooms.

Fatty wanted to create good impressions with some BOSSES so that he could stay in the empire. He did not want to return to the City of Dawn.

Unfortunately, the professionals were aloof.

The previous cannon gunner was an Advanced aloof NPC. He had talked to the players because they looked interested, but after that, he ignored them.

All the professionals were going to kill devils to earn money. They did not have time to entertain small kids.

If the players were Intermediate professionals in the empire, they should be students in the empire colleges. Even if they received first-hand training, there would be mentors following them.

Under normal circumstances, only Advanced students could journey to Moonlight Forest for a first-hand experience.

After the Darkness invasion of the Moonlight Forest.

The news of the invasion spread wide and far.

Many professionals from desolate locations came to the empire to take a look. They thought that middle and Advanced professionals were a big deal.

However, they discovered that they were at the bottom of the food chain…

The professionals of the empire loved to intimidate professionals from the desolate regions.

“How long is the war in Moonlight Forest going to last?” a professional who had nothing in his possession asked.

The young cannon gunner smiled and said, “Who knows? The first seven days of the war was a massacre of the Moonlight Elves. The casualties numbered 1 million. They were unable to stop Cronus and the devil’s army, so they asked for help. As for the duration of the war…

It depends on Cronus, who had just upgraded to the Sage level. It remains to be seen if he could fight against the three sages.”

“I don’t think so…” Someone was probing for more information.

The cannon gunner explained it. “Who says he can’t? When Cronus defected to Darkness, he launched a secret attack and killed a sage. The Moonlight Elves only have two sages left. If they were on par with Cronus, they would not have to retreat continuously.

“According to my opinion, even if the Mercenary Guild sent a sage to help out, they would not have any obvious advantage over Cronus. I heard that Cronus has the ability to summon the King of Darkness at any time.

“The best chance for the Moonlight Elves is to retreat from Moonlight Forest to conserve their strength. If they continue fighting, they would be defeated.”

“How can the Elves retreat? Moonlight Forest is their home. Ever since the start of the second era, Moonlight Forest has been the Elves’ ancestral land. With the Darkness invasion, their ancestral land is being occupied. How can the proud Elves give up their ancestral land so easily?” a Temple Knight said as he coldly laughed.

Then he continued and said, “If Cronus and his devils manage to gain a foothold in Moonlight Forest, where can the Elves go? There are no places that can provide shelter to the Elves.”

When the players heard their conversation, they felt that the professionals came from different worlds.

To the professionals, even if the Moonlight Forest was fully occupied by the dark army, it was of no consequence to them.

The players also discovered that the professionals of the empire had very strong confidence.

Angry Fatty hesitated for quite some time, and then he finally asked, “Why don’t the Human race send out sages to kill Cronus?”

The moment he spoke, everyone became silent on the deck.

The cannon gunner looked at them and smiled. “Help requires money. Why else will the Humans help the Elves?

“Do you think we are here to provide a free service?

“We are mercenaries who have been recruited. The Moonlight Elves had lost their treasury. How can they recruit a sage to help?”

“The Elves have to pay money?” A live broadcaster was puzzled, and he asked, “At this critical stage, the Dark World has invaded our world. As a Light race, shouldn’t we unite and fight off the dark creatures?”

“Hahaha, critical stage? Are you kidding, little kid?”

“The Human empires have never collapsed. So what if the outer boundaries of the Legendary continent had fallen to the dark creatures? Do you understand that the Human empires are the foundation for the Humans’ survival?

“I’ll remind you. No matter where you come from, remember, you’re part of the Humans!

“The relationship of the Elves with the Humans is not as good as you think.

“The sages of Blackleaf Elves and Snow Elves are not helping. Why should we provide them with free help?”

Fatty could not answer. He just blankly stared and remained quiet.

He could only listen silently. He wanted to find the basis of the confidence of the empires’ professionals from their conversations.

But after the interruption by the players.

The professionals stopped their discussion.

Meanwhile, two devils walked out of the teleportation portal.

It was pitch dark. There were many exquisite clothing lines in the surrounding. It seemed as if the other side of the portal was located in a cabinet.

Moses was in the lead. He examined the magical barrier on the cabinet’s door before lightly waving his hand. The barrier became thin, and both of them walked out of the cabinet. After that, the magical barrier returned to its normal state.

Before them, there was a bedroom that looked as if it had been vacated for a long time.

The room was huge. The walls were originally full of vines and fresh flowers. But now, they had withered.

It was previously the bedroom of Annie in the palace.

Moses used his Mental Strength to connect psychically with William. He said, “Use telepathy to communicate. Follow me and don’t wander around!”

“I understand.” William was not foolish.

He looked outside the window. The sky was dark and filled with flying devils. The kingdom of the Moonlight Elves had become the lair of the dark creatures. If he wandered outside, he would be killed.

William was worried, and he asked, “I have Annie’s hair. Can you track her with this?”

“Hair? We can’t use magic to track her. We’ll definitely be discovered by the devils.

“But I’ve her location via divination just now. Don’t worry. She’s definitely safer than both of us!” Moses pushed open the door of the bedroom. The palace was not occupied by the devils.

“There were no devils in the palace.

“Those devils and dark creatures were living outside the palace!

William commented, “Cronus seems to be rather nostalgic.”

Moses laughed in their mental connection. “The palace is already occupied by the dark creatures. What’s there to be nostalgic about?”

“Every creature who has defected to Darkness is lonely.”

Both of them walked inside the palace, but they did not meet with any mishap. The palace was not damaged, and many places were intact. William silently followed Moses for 20 minutes.

But then, Moses stopped in his tracks.

William also stopped.

After tens of seconds, Moses again started to walk and increased his pace!

After several minutes, William noticed that Moses stopped once again. He could not help but ask, “What happened?”

“Devil Lord. I felt that one of the bedrooms belonged to the Devil Lord. He had just left.

“The palace is not without devils. It is that the low-level devils are not allowed to stay here.” Moses exhaled to release his tension. The situation in the palace was more precarious than he expected.

Moses led William for a long time. They were both disguised as devils so their identities would not be exposed.

Moses discovered that there were many devils patrolling near the palace!

If they were discovered by the patrols, they would be killed.

Hence, Moses wanted to find a place where there were no patrols.

William glanced a few times at Moses. He believed that Moses could make it!

Even though it was the devil’s lair.

Moses could detect a Legendary Devil Lord so he could definitely find a good place for both of them…

Gosh!

It was awesome.

William asked, “How many different types of magic are there in the world?”

Moses did not claim that he was an all-rounder mage, and William did not mention it before. Moses said without hesitation, “108 types!”

William opened his eyes widely. “That many? Aren’t the mages categorized as elementals, space, and mental types?”

“Hehe!” Moses did not explain further.

William sighed and said, “I believe even the Lord of Magic, who became God of Magic, does not know that many types of magic.”

Moses heard the words and could not help laughing. He said, “Is the Lord of Magic fit to be the God of Magic?

“He’s only a despicable scum. Originally, there were no sorcerers, summoners, druids, and warlocks. All magical professionals were called mages.

“What about the Lord of Magic?

“He only knew about a few types of magic and became the God of Magic.

“He did not know about other types of magic, so that was how the sorcerers, summoners, druids, and warlocks came about.

“All types of magic were created by the Goddess of Magic.

“If the Goddess of Magic had not been defeated and the magic network had not collapsed, how would the mages’ state had become so pathetic? How would there be so many types of magic?

“Lord of Magic? What’s the big deal?”

When Moses talked about the Lord of Magic, he was full of anger. He was almost rolling up his sleeves for a good fight.

William did not discuss it further. Who knew what happened during Moses’ escape from the Magic Sanctuary? But William was still curious.

“How many types of magic do you know?”

“All…” Moses said. He squinted and directed his gaze at William.

William kept quiet.

But William was screaming inside!

All-rounder mage?

And he knew all types?

Gosh!

In the nine continents, besides the Goddess of Magic, Moses must be the only all-rounder mage.

Moses said it himself…

But what was the relationship between Moses and the Goddess of Magic?

Illegitimate son?

That was right…

William did not believe that Moses was the reincarnation of the Goddess of Magic.

William could not help scrutinize Moses, who had an ugly devil’s face. If Moses was the reincarnation of the Goddess of Magic, she would not tolerate such a disguise…
