.

  The atmosphere at the wine table can be said to be a joy for both host and guest.

  At least it seems so on the surface.

  In the Koala Bear Festival and Raccoon Dog Festival, the Swan Master and Lord were indeed having a great time at the wine table, enjoying each other's company to the fullest. The atmosphere between the mentor and apprentice was particularly harmonious, with both sides making good-natured jokes about each other. The position of the Twelve Masters of the Kingdom is extraordinary, and it's really hard to associate them with humor and wit. In fact, Lord Murrine has always been a serious and solemn figure, but the two Per tribe priests felt that they were indeed a mentor and apprentice who had inherited the same tradition, and it was easy to talk to each other like family members.

  After three rounds of drinking

  Murniyo, the chief priest, in the subsequent casual conversation, fully and sufficiently demonstrated the demeanor of that ancient noble family, the erudition that accommodates a hundred rivers, and the elegant and wise speech. His erudition made the priests present feel ashamed and shallow, except for Vian, the great shaman, and Anduran, the elder, who were over 5,000 years old, my sages and fairy dragon, who had such profound knowledge that they could exchange a few words with him, while others did not have the chance to interrupt.

  Although it was just a comparison of magic rituals, Lord Murini's understanding of magical knowledge even shocked the two fairy dragons.

  Lord Muriyno's summarized magic is divided into twenty systems. When this number was announced, even the fairy dragon couldn't help but be a little skeptical.

  Upon seeing the strange expression on Xian Nü Long's face, Muriniyo-sama began to speak in a gentle tone.

  "These twelve schools of magic are divided into wind, water, fire, air, earth, ice and snow, undead, metal, plant, lightning, space, poison, summoning, spiritual, secret language, transformation, prophecy, holy light, singing, and the time school of magic created by Master Einstein but has been lost. Lord Murienio explained to you the origin of this series of magical compositions: Among them, the relatively rare summoning system magic, after the Battle of Haigal, clever human mages have learned from the demon worship, creating a magic that summons demons from other realms, just like our demon worship, with demonic pets fighting alongside us. However, they are more powerful and can summon many at once. This magic is similar to undead magic in terms of summoning principles, but instead of using undead creatures, it uses magical beasts from other realms. The level of their magical beasts is a bit far off compared to our demon worship, so I won't go into details here. Prophecy magic is a type of magic that my female subordinate specializes in, which allows her to see the world through crystal balls and predict one's fate. Secret language magic is another type, but apart from dragons, I've found that many high-level magical beasts also have their own unique summoning magic, so it's classified as secret language magic."

  Liu Zhen was shocked and started to admire the main altar master from the bottom of his heart.

  "You're saying that we all know about these. What about Transformation Magic, Holy Light Magic and Singing Magic? What are these kinds of magic? Yolerna was puzzled, could it be that there's magic that even the Fairy Dragons don't know?"

  "I'll make a fool of myself, and it's also an opportunity to discuss with the two learned dragon clans." The main priest ordered the spirits behind him, mentioning two names, asking them to come over.

  After being whispered two sentences by the spirit in a low voice,

  Mourinho's followers came immediately, a wizard and a jungle druid. The wizard was already old, wearing a black mage cloak covered with arcane symbols and magical punctuation marks, his whole body radiating strong elemental fluctuations. The druid looked ageless, his whole body hung with fluttering and tree root-like long whiskers, the extremely thick wooden staff in his hand might be more suitable as a weapon than a magic wand, and on the top of the staff was embedded a huge transparent amber. In the dark green amber, there was an unusually large mosquito.

  Everyone guessed that this mosquito was probably a prehistoric giant mosquito, which might have been accidentally wrapped in amber flowing millions of years ago.

  Is your transformation magic referring to the Druid's talent for shape-shifting in the jungle? Yolna smiled.

  The Druid of the Jungle transformed into a bear and an eagle, it can't be called magic... Daisy asked and asked, but suddenly stopped talking. She knew that this Swan Master would not blow his horn in such a situation.

  Conglin Derui curled up the corners of his mouth, revealing a smile that was not quite a smile. The staff wrapped in his hand swung out a hazy light with an amber hue, which grew thicker and thicker, like a thick smoke enveloping Conglin Derui's body. The smoke quickly expanded and then slowly rose into the sky.

  When the smoke and mist had dispersed, a mosquito of medium size appeared in the sky. The mosquito's abdomen had a colorful pattern, its four wings were as strong as iron sheets, and its sharp mouth was at least three feet long, reflecting a dark blue glow. Eight mosquitoes tightly grasped a wooden stick.

  Before anyone could react, this giant mosquito's wings fluttered and it fell to the ground, curling up its head and tail like a dung beetle, rolling around while emitting a thick green smoke. As it rolled, its body suddenly swelled violently, and when it got back up, the giant mosquito had transformed into a majestic Tangula Ice Bear. When the ice bear roared, you could clearly see a small tornado made of snow and ice condensing between its sharp fangs.

  "Campus~~~!!" The authority figures exclaimed in unison.

  As for the strength of Mr. Murieno, it has been rumored within the kingdom of Bimon that it is very mysterious. The northeastern temple and the southwestern temple do not have much to do with each other, and the legendary priest and the various priests in power have never had a deep relationship. Today, seeing the strength of his followers, it's even more mysterious than the legend.

  At this time, Druid turned back into his original appearance as an old tree root.

  "When did Druids already possess this kind of ability?" Jolna furrowed her brow, her expression serious.

  This matter is not a good thing for the two fairy sisters. In the distant past, when the Elf Empire was at its most brilliant, it was said that there was once a high-ranking Druid who could transform into a giant dragon, but this matter has never been confirmed or denied. As the innate transformation technique of the Druids, it has always been said that they can only transform into bears and eagles... This is not something that every Druid can possess. Racial abilities and mermaid seals are also things that need to be awakened. Only those with excellent qualifications can obtain them.

  This druid can actually transform into a beast, and when transforming into an ice bear, he has clearly expressed that he can also obtain the magical abilities of the ice bear, which indirectly proves that if there is a talented druid who has undergone rigorous training, it is absolutely possible to become a giant dragon.

  The dragon tribe detests bootlegged goods the most, and the two fairy dragons are no exception. If a druid were to transform into a giant dragon, it would bring numerous benefits to the entire dragon tribe. Just thinking about this made the faces of the two fairy dragons increasingly unsightly.

  "The transformation technique of the Druids is not just a gift, excellent Druids can transform into any magical beast through transformation magic. This magic was invented by that Druid master who could transform into a giant dragon 8,000 years ago. The difficulty of successfully cultivating this magic is extremely high, and it's almost impossible to achieve, with only two magical beasts that can be transformed in one stage. So, this magic has almost been lost in the Druid Kingdom. My follower, Master Aiferson, happens to be a high-ranking Druid who knows this magic. It's normal for outsiders not to know much about them." Lord Muriel said calmly, enjoying the envious glances around him.

  All the staff-wielding priests are called Quinpi! The Swan Tribe of Smay in the Great Swamp. The hypothetical enemy they defend against is actually the Druid Kingdom living deep in the swamp, and the main priest can even recruit followers from this country, and this druid who can transform into a magical beast is not low-level at all, it seems to be a pretty good druid.

  "That mosquito was too huge. If it were the same size as the ones we have now" Liu Zhenhan snapped his fingers and compared the length to a small speck of dirt, smiling slightly "then this Druid Mr. would be invincible."

  For this sentence, the Jungle Druid stared at the crippled Pigg for a long time, because this silly Pigg said nothing wrong. If Kemira's mosquito could be that small, killing a giant dragon would not take any effort, and no one would deliberately guard against a small mosquito. However, this is impossible, the druid cannot transform into a magical beast lighter than himself.

  The magician standing next to them also demonstrated his holy light magic under the urging of the two dragon fairies. After a series of short incantations, he picked up a dinner knife with one hand and formed a circle with his thumb and index finger on the other hand. The light from the scarf was instantly concentrated into a beam within the circle, turning into a white light ball that shot towards the knife. As soon as the light ball touched the knife, it slowly melted the knife in half.

  "What a powerful attack!" The two Xian Shi Long nodded in unison, they could see that this magic was almost as good as fire magic, and its lethality was huge whether in group battles or one-on-one combat.

  Liu Zhenhan suddenly remembered that he had once used a magnifying glass to shine on ants, and this was similar, so he smiled foolishly.

  "Excuse me, can you create several illusions through light and shadow?" Jingyu asked the magician.

  The magician was taken aback for a moment before saying: "It can only be three... How did you know that?"

  "It's a guess." Liu Zhenhong chuckled. He was secretly delighted, not expecting that the Eastern Fantasy Technique of Jingyu would have some similarities with this Holy Light System magic.

  "What is the origin of Holy Light magic? We fairy dragons have never even heard of it, let alone seen it." Yolna asked the Swan Master with great respect.

  "Respected Dragon, in this world, there are many powerful beings who, due to their own strength, do not wish to appear before the people of the world again, just like you giant dragons. The humans of the Aegean Continent have developed from the basic four-element magic of 'air, fire, water, earth' to sixteen new types of magic! Perhaps this number is even higher, as humans continue to learn and create without stopping. The Holy Light system of magic and the auxiliary divine techniques used by the priests and pastors of the human Saint Paul Church are extremely similar in principle. The Holy Light system of magic was only created less than two hundred years ago, so it's normal that you wouldn't know about it."

  The Swan High Priest's tone suddenly became passionate and stirring: "Human magic is changing with each passing day! What about our war songs? The war songs from a thousand years ago not only haven't been updated, but have actually been lost! As fellow members of the Demon Tribe, why can humans innovate while we cannot?"

  Everyone present at the ceremony couldn't help but smile wryly, and Helen and Cui Peishan's faces were a little red.

  Innovation is not absent in the Kingdom of Bimon. Hundreds of years ago, a genius priest of the Chiehkin tribe created an "Lewd War Song", which resulted in the entire Chicken Tribe becoming hereditary prostitutes, a lesson that was sufficiently severe. Since then, any self-made war song may be subject to heavy punishment by the Temple. This matter was used as a negative teaching material by Hailan after his promotion to the rank of War Priest in the Temple, and he even gave Liu Zhendong political lessons on it.

  The position of this place is the highest for the main shrine master, and when the main shrine master says such a thing at this time, it can't help but make people feel a bit strange.

  Old Liu's eyebrows furrowed slightly as he felt that the main sacrificer's words seemed to be hinting at his own self-composed war song, the Liu Style.

  But judging from the main sacrifice's intimidating performance just now, how did it suddenly have a tone of helping me get away with it? Old Liu was puzzled for a moment. The mystery was quickly solved.

  Murinius's stern gaze swept across all the priests present, his voice slow and low: "There is good news. In recent years, I have been secretly studying the elemental laws in the Bimon War Song. Currently, I am researching a Bimon War Song that uses wind blades to attack... temporarily named 'Dafang Song'. If it can be successfully researched, our Bimon priests will have their first offensive war song."

  It seems that Swan's main sacrifice today is to shock people to death. As soon as this news came out, everyone at the table was stunned again.

  No wonder he didn't look for me, it turned out that he was also doing research. But this research is too powerful, right? Old Liu was a bit stunned.

  "Adult, if this battle hymn is successfully developed. Our priests will be able to stand up straight and face the magicians with dignity. You will become... no... you will definitely become an insurmountable monument in the kingdom's priestly circle." The great shaman Vian was so excited that even his whiskers were standing on end.

  "For now, we've only found a small path, and there's still at least three to four years of road ahead before achieving success." Mr. Mourinho glanced at Liu Zhen with intention or not: "After all, I'm carrying the legendary name of a champion, so I must take on this burden..."

  The first combat song of attack? Old Liu's eyes rolled around and a wicked idea emerged.

  "To be honest, the singing kill magic I just mentioned is actually referring to our clan's war songs. By using war songs to summon elemental powers, what's the difference between that and a magician using incantations, gestures, and herbs to summon elemental powers? Is it impossible to use war songs to summon magical attack powers?" Murieno smiled as he looked at the two fairy dragons: "Please, you two knowledgeable fairy dragons, give me some correct guidance on my views."

  "I completely agree with your view, I have always thought that as long as the two basic elemental powers do not conflict and follow a gradual cultivation method, any intelligent race has the ability to use elemental powers. I think your classification is very scientific." Yuelin nodded in agreement when she met like-minded people.

  "Impossible!" Helen, who had not spoken for half a day, asked in surprise: "If magic and song power are not conflicting, then how can we explain the 'curse of blood sacrifice' in our sacrificial rituals, and what about the magical food sacrifices?"

  "Bimon's physical structure is the same as humans, our bodies are equivalent to a sealed container. Elemental powers, whether it's song power or magic power, are like water in the container. The 'Blood Sacrifice Curse' backlash effect causes the demon beast's magic to surge into the fallen priest's body instantly, bursting this insufficient container, which is why the fallen priest cannot escape the curse and dies.

  Muri Nio-sama didn't wait for the dragon fairy to speak up before explaining: "This bodily container must be gradually expanded through daily accumulation of arduous practice, just as this dragon fairy said, a gradual training process is needed. While roasted Gisa beast meat is delicious, eating an entire head of Gisa beast at once will also lead to bursting."

  "Your interpretation is exactly what I wanted to say." Yuer Ya smiled.

  "Elder, forgive our impertinence, but we cannot agree with your categorization of war songs as a type of singing magic. After all, not even the priests of the Mong Kingdom have ever achieved dual cultivation of magical songs and sacrifices. And among humans, there are no similar examples. As the chief priest of the kingdom, isn't this statement a bit inappropriate? It may also mislead the young priests present." Several full-time priests immediately raised objections.

  On these fundamental issues of religious beliefs, the Fox spirits have always been very clear-cut about this point. Even the old and cunning Fox spirits cannot do what humans do, hiding a dagger in their smiles and secretly making small reports. They believe in facts, not empty boasts.

  Only Liu Zhen felt the most complicated emotions at this time. He discovered that his mentor's mentor, apart from being a bit too pushy and suspicious, was truly worthy of the glorious title of Wang Guo Xi Zhi! Too wise! Because he also believed that even if it were Mu Ri, he could still practice magic." Who says not? "Murini Lord picked up his wine glass, lightly sipped the golden liquid, and fixed his eyes on Liu Zhen.

  Lao Liu was swept by his gaze, and his scalp suddenly felt numb.

  Campus! Mo and I just got back, did he already know our secrets and new powers? Old Liu suddenly felt that this man was too terrifying.

  "This time, Old Liu has been possessed by the spirit of a snake." Little girl Goriani and dog son Gmaes were just performing a magical ritual, but I had been keeping it a secret. The Swan Master's words brought back Old Liu's soul: "I must thank my wife Milanni for giving birth to our three beautiful and intelligent triplets."

  The Swan Tribe are all oviparous, and double-yolked eggs are already very rare. Triple-yolked eggs are so rare that you might not encounter one in a thousand years! Old Liu was deeply impressed! This swan's main disciple, Murieno-sama, had raised his three children to be different from the others in Bimon. Gatanee studied human martial arts and techniques, while the other two were learning magic and war songs!

  He had such vision and charisma nearly twenty years ago! Liu Zhen is truly admired to the point of being unable to admire him anymore. It's no wonder that the main deity is an idol worshipped by so many minor deities. Even Liu Da Guan can't help but have a bit of admiration for him.

  The priests all fell silent, and some things aren't easy to get used to right away. But the high-ranking priests could sense that going up against a priest who had paired with a demon song would be a terrifying thing, especially one who was the descendant of the great Muirne! Gatanee became a White Silver Holy Temple Knight at just 17 years old, and in a society like the Mon Kingdom where strength is paramount, what more could be said about someone whose abilities far surpassed their own?

  "By the way, I'll mention it in passing, next spring's Olympic Games, Gottani's sister and brother will participate in the competition at the same time. The children should also exercise at this time." The main priest smiled: "I hope everyone keeps it a secret for me, and surprises Lord Bratt and His Highness Sahl at that time."

  Wei An's eyes glanced at Liu Zhen, his gaze flickered for a moment, then shifted away.

  Liu Zhen knew what Qidan's gaze meant, the Olympic sacrifice only has a chance to advance beyond the top three, mainly to train new sacrificial people. Since Mourinho's son and daughter are on the field, according to the main sacrificial person's unshakeable character, the goal is self-evident, pointing directly at the top three.

  The main hope for Dongbei Shen Temple now is Helen and Liu Zhenyu, if they are taken away by Mr. Mourinho's children, two

  Location, that must have made Helen and Liu shocked to fall off one by one. Mr. Mourinho knows the strength of Liu Zhen and Helen, dare to say so, which proves that his pair of children's magic pets are not ordinary products.

  Originally, the "Song and Dance Double Cultivation" and "Song and Martial Arts Double Cultivation" that were highly anticipated by the Northeastern Divine Temple would have caused a sensation throughout the kingdom. However, with the sudden appearance of a pair of "Magic Song Double Cultivators" as offerings, combined with the boasts of the main offering master earlier...

  He created an attacking war song, Liu Zhen knew that this main festival host wanted to stir up the whole country again, and also made it clear that he was ready to fight with himself.

  A pleasant dinner came to a close in a warm and harmonious atmosphere.

  At this banquet, the elegant and refined Swan was the main attraction, with his exceptional memory and outstanding abilities. In contrast, his brother, who sat next to him, looked dull and stupid, with a foolish expression on his face, and was both ugly and awkward.

  The next day, Lord Murniyo and two dozen high-ranking officials from the Northeast Temple left Florence with four Fox Tribe priests, leaving only the Perrin Tribe priest to continue to enjoy the hospitality of Florence.

  When bidding farewell to the great gods, Old Liu quietly gave Old Turtle a full salute and helped Miao also sign up for the Great Sacrifice Competition.

  Mr. Qi Dan felt a bit embarrassed to face Liu Zhen again, and he seemed a bit absent-minded, so he agreed in one mouthful.

  They were originally going to see them off for ten miles, but because of one sentence, the main shrine lord declined the lord's sendoff. Only agreeing to let Gatanee see them off, the kind father brought many delicious snacks for his daughter and only remembered to take them out now.

  "Richard! If you change your mind one day, promise to become my vassal, this large gate will always be open for you." Lord Murieno said to Liu Zhen as he was about to leave.

  As it turns out, Old Liu was indeed somewhat moved. This old fellow is not only handsome and wealthy but also has real power and knowledge. Where can you find such a great figure to back yourself up?

  "If you really insist... I have already taken over as the head of the tribe," said the chief, "the daughter of our land will marry you, and you know the beauty of the Swan Maiden." The High Priest saw Liu's heart move and spoke sincerely.

  The shock of this sentence was no less than a forbidden spell hitting the heads of all who heard it. The Swan Tribe, the most proud and arrogant noble family among the Smaug, had the right to be proud by birthright. The severity of the punishment for intermarriage with other tribes in the tribal rules of the Swan Tribe could be seen from the experience of the Great Priest and Sparrow Betsy, so when the Great Priest said this so sincerely, all the accompanying priests knew that this trump card was already a concession made by Lord Muriniyo, even a bit flattering.

  As for Liu Zhen's joke at the wine table, saying he wanted to marry Songtanni, anyone with a brain that wasn't short-circuited would know it was impossible. The Swan Tribe Chief had drunk and sworn an oath to marry the daughter of the legendary Muriniyo, even if it meant going against the Sbimon Kingdom's

  The prince may not be worthy of her, let alone a disabled one.

  Perhaps this sentence can move anyone who hears it after the Mu Lin sacrifice, and from then on become a Murenio. But Liu Zhensheng is not one of them, perhaps. Mr. Murenio did not use this sentence as a suffix, and Liu Zhensheng might have really considered this possibility, but it was precisely this sentence that triggered Liu Zhensheng's extremely strong antipathy.

  Liu Zhenhong was not a Baiman to begin with. So he couldn't care less about the traditional racial prejudices in the Baiman community, unlike other Baimans who felt fortunate and honored by this "gift". All he felt was shame and contempt, thinking that the other side was trying to buy him off with women, looking down on him as a lustful and dissolute person. In fact, he had almost become like that, which made him angry and even more resentful of being treated like a gift... because **had said: Women can hold up half the sky.

  "Wait until I wear the red robe and perform the grand sacrifice, then consider it." Liu Zhen's lips curled up in a slight smile as he completely returned the words that the main sacrificer had once said.

  "I'll wait for the good news of you becoming a stick-wielding priest next year then." The main priest let out a sigh, smiled and nodded, shook his white gold long hair in the biting cold wind, turned around with a flourish, leaving behind his back figure to Liu Zhen and the entire horizon.

  As soon as Katniss saw her father turn around, a kind and handsome face had become distorted.

  After seeing off the High Priest, the high-ranking officials of Falena hastily convened a secret meeting at the top of the hill, this time even dispatching most of the militia to stand guard with arms and the Fire Hawk Knights patrolling the skies.

  After Mr. Muliniao's visit to Florence, the scope of benefits has expanded to cover all aspects of development in Florence. Taking advantage of Songtanni's absence, Liu Zhensheng quickly reported the current severe situation and the terrible inference on Bird Island to the leaders, and he also declared that this inference is not mature and there are many doubts.

  "I've always wondered about one thing, as a mentor and apprentice of the same sect, why didn't he win you over instead of opposing you? Why is that?

  The so-called embodiment of deception, Guren, also participated. Since feasting on the brains and souls of dozens of high-ranking strongmen on the island, Guren can now go without eating for at least half a year."

  "He beckoned me over, and as soon as I sat down, before the first cup of wine had even touched my lips, he asked if I would swear loyalty to him. You were sleeping in the cave yesterday, so you're not entirely clear on this, but it seems like we two are somehow naturally at odds, no matter how sincere his expression is. I feel like he's always harboring some great hostility towards me." Old Liu pointed to his own head: "My intuition was forged on the battlefield."

  "This feeling has never been wrong."

  "Although I've been to the battlefield, I can still feel it." Daisy nodded: "He indeed holds great hostility towards you, this point, I believe many people can see it too."

  "It's strange, you're a dragon worshiper! How can he bear to abandon the master-disciple relationship and choose to oppose you? Even if he couldn't make you obey him, there was no need for them to become enemies?" Garen also couldn't understand: "Has he gone mad?"

  "Cough... let me say a couple of words... may not be right..." Elder Anduril cleared his throat slowly.

  "Come on, elder, just spit it out already." Yorna said with a look of impatience.

  "As for the reason, to be honest, it's just a matter of 'name' being at play," said Elder Anduril with a smile. "I've lived in the human world for many years, and even among us monks who have no desires or ambitions, there will still be a series of open and secret struggles over positions of power. It can be seen that Lord Muriel has a great appreciation for humans."

  "It can be seen from the cultivation of his followers and three children that he is a typical 'Haren' faction." O'Neill said with a big mouth beside him.

  "The elder continued, in more detail." Liu Zhen let Ning Yu help him light a cigar and put it to his mouth.

  "Smoke a little less." Jingyu was choked by the cigar smoke and tears streamed down her face.

  "Lord Murniyo was famous from a young age, becoming the wielder of the sacred sceptre at just twenty years old - an unprecedented feat in the history of Bimon. The Fire Phoenix is said to be comparable to the giant dragon's magical familiar, and is also immortal. Lord Murniyo used the Fire Phoenix to annihilate the nine-headed bird, Mobasha, a super-tier magical beast, a feat that rivals slaying a dragon." Elder Andurand sneered, "Furthermore, he not only rose to fame at a young age but also possesses one of the rarest and most handsome appearances, an illustrious bloodline and family background. He even has a large group of outstanding followers on his adventures - what kind of concept is this?"

  "This is the white horse prince in the dull knight, the standard prince image." Yorick and Daisy hugged together, ready to go crazy again.

  "Moreover, after struggling for many years, he has already approached the pinnacle of power. In my opinion, if nothing unexpected happens, it is likely that he will be the next Red Robe High Priest. Whether it's the Rhine tribe or the Tago tribe as king, they would both be delighted to see someone who doesn't take sides appear, believing in the existence of balance of power."

  "The Council of Elders will surely agree as well." said Elder Anduril.

  "Sir Alex has been on the throne for over 20 years, and it's almost time for him to step down. Mourinho is known as the 'Special One'! What does that name represent? I'm afraid that as soon as the position of the Red Devils' coach becomes available, there will be young coaches lining up to take his place." Vieira sneered.

  "I really envy you for being busy, when can our Saroman festival get the recognition it deserves......" Ba Jiao put his hands in his pockets and swung his ponytail, letting out a soft sigh.

  "Hei Zi, you're right, Mr. Mourinho has been for many years..."

  Admiration and cheers, without saying anything more, even humans know that this Fire Phoenix is the true champion of the Bi Mung Kingdom's Sacred Offering Festival! What a reputation!" Anduril elder smiled, revealing a mouthful of incomplete teeth.

  But now, out of nowhere, two young priests have appeared, one with extraordinary talent and a superhuman hand that excels in both music and martial arts, the other with exceptional innate ability and a gift for song and dance. One is known as the "Heavenly Soul Singer", the other as a genius of "Natural Evolution" and "Life's Eulogy". And to make matters even more astonishing, the Heavenly Soul Singer is actually a dragon priest! Actually a demon puppeteer! And in front of millions of watching eyes, he personally defeated a human dragon knight, crushing one of the Four Scissorhands, Edward, into an iron pancake with a single blow! This fierce warrior also created his own battle song scrolls, pioneered new types of war songs, opened up the road to the Holy Mountain of Haigal, rescued the insect tribe Bimon, which was thought to have been extinct for 10,000 years, and led a group of brave and powerful followers who were invincible in battle, with zero casualties as their goal. They were known as the "Frosty Green Army", an army of over a hundred that could not be defeated...

  "This is what I mean, life is about pursuing something. In the end, it's just fame and fortune. Having a great reputation can earn you flowers and applause. But, fame is like the summit of Mount Everest, once you reach the top, you can't come down, or you'll fall and become a pile of flesh. Mr. Mourinho has already been deified, he's on a pedestal, and coming down from there would be unacceptable to him, especially since he's a proud and powerful Swan person!

  Anduran Elder smiled: "At this time, you actually understand yourself. My Lord, you just don't want to admit that you're that amazing."

  "Yes, now that I think about it, it seems like the merit I've earned is more than Lord Bulo's back then." Liu Zhen thought for a moment and couldn't help but smile wryly.

  "The problem is right here. Your achievements are already so high, and your strength has been exaggerated to the extreme. If I were the main priest, I wouldn't trust you either. You're busy with a master-disciple relationship, but in reality, you haven't even seen each other's faces, let alone have any emotional connection. He tried to win you over, but you inexplicably refused him... I remember when Butsong Tanee waved her hand at you. That little face turned bright red... When did you two become close? You're not really into her, are you?" Yuelna smiled and pushed Liu Zhen's shoulder.

  "Nana, go to death, I refused Murini not for this reason." Liu Zhen was shocked and flattened his mouth: "To be loyal to a certain family is to change the surname of the family master, even if the king asks me to do so, I will inevitably refuse. At most, I can only guarantee an alliance with him or become friends."

  "It's actually according to your strength. It doesn't matter which family you follow, it should be the other way around. Yuer Ya thought for a moment and felt a bit indignant: "Just a Fire Phoenix sacrifice, what's the big deal..."

  "Our Wolf Riders all call you 'Heavenly King Sacrifice'! Our Little Heavenly King! I believe that the Southeastern Temple and the Southeastern Province are now widely spreading the story of your victory over the Dragon Knights." Robert, the wolf-like man, smiled and nodded at Old Liu: "I am deeply proud to have a friend like you, and Wolf will be proud for life to have fought alongside you! You remind me of our Wolf Clan's greatest hero, Swol!"

  "Nonsense!" Several militiamen also shouted. Immediately busy showing their loyalty: "Who doesn't worship such a tough guy?!"

  "These are all facts, but the only one who refuses to admit it is Lord Murini. Once he admits this fact, he will be completely surpassed by you, so he absolutely won't admit it. As for becoming allies and friends, I'm afraid it's already a bit late for him to realize it, because the situation has already been set in stone. Actually, he really admires you, I can see that much. If you were to become the Swan Tribe's Sacrificial Leader, Lord Master, you would be set!"" Elder Andurin burst out laughing: "If there's anyone to blame, it's yourself for being too overpowered. If your strength and achievements were just a little less, perhaps the Main Sacrificial Leader wouldn't have given you this difficult choice."

  "Mr. Murini at the age of nineteen, apart from being a bit more handsome than you, one level higher in position, and having a more prominent family background than you, is not comparable to you in other aspects, riding on Newton's giant bird. Coincidentally, these few things are exactly what the Bimons don't value most. Your star robe can also be embroidered with a nine-headed snake monster Hydra's shadow, this matter spreads out, will make you become a little king!" Daisy helped Liu Zhen shan flip through his collar.

  "Now take it off, I'll help you find the needle and sew it back on." Mo Er said. Once Evie's soul was in charge, she was afraid that the world would not be chaotic.

  "Let's play big!" Liu Zhen immediately took off his robe: "Help me disassemble that fire crane, embroider the silhouette of Xu Dela and Longgui on it, add a Guoguo next to it, with two dragons on Guoguo's head, riding on the back of the fire crane, and also a Jieling flying horse."

  "Isn't his strength fully exposed now?" asked Mo Er.

  "Everyone who needs to know already knows. I just need to keep it from one person." Liu pointed at the Lord of Chudao, Gwilen.

  "Can't we just embroider Gianna's name on the clothes? I think it's more suitable than Gianna's." Garen asked with a bitter face. Liu Zhenhong muttered to himself.

  "What made humans leave in those years?" Elder Anduril laughed.

  "The annals have no record of this, and the history has always been vague." Liu Zhen looked at O'Neill, who shook his head and said, "This is a mystery."

  "I know." Gruin chuckled strangely. "I'm really busy losing face for you, and I didn't even know this interesting history! Two thousand five hundred years ago, the Munk tribe was in charge of the Magician's Guild and the Temple Sacrifice, and together with the Warriors, they formed the framework of the Bimon Army. As a result, the Magician's Guild established its own army under the name of protecting magicians. Until finally, slowly but surely, they divided the land and ruled, ignoring the calls for unity, reducing contact with the various tribes of Bimon, until one thousand five hundred years ago, when the famous Emperor Delos III of the human kingdom closed off all contact with the Bimon tribes. He issued a decree prohibiting intermarriage with the Bimon, and schools were forbidden to teach children that they were of the Munk tribe or monkey people, but instead had to call themselves humans. And then I was locked up."

  "Five hundred years of monkey, the war between humans and Bimon began to erupt on a large scale. Humans need the fertile land of Karim's Great Plains for survival space due to their increasing population. After the Battle of Haigal, Bimon almost lost everything: dignity, pride, honor... The Foxes' sacrifices were cunning in peacetime, but when it came to the greater good, they still used their own lives to defend Bimon's last glory." Elder Andurin said, "Bimon's warriors cannot be said to be unskilled in battle, Bimon's priests cannot be said to be unbrave... However, Bimon lacks the spirit of enterprise and creativity. Humans have organized dwarves, hired elven mercenaries, even recruited a large number of giants to participate, and they themselves possess overwhelming advantages with mages and dragon knights."

  "Take another look at your own kind, a thousand years ago, that dragon priest was born with a natural soul singer's voice. A thousand years later, you, Dragon Priest Richard, are also born with the same natural talent. Does this mean that aside from relying on the 50% success rate of summoning a natural soul singer, there isn't a single ordinary dragon priest among your kind? And look at humans, in human history, dragon knights have never been extinct. What does this imply?" Daisy also snorted coldly: "You're not thinking about progress, you're just following established rules! Our dragon clan looks down on you!"

  "How did it become a trial conference? Continuing from the previous topic, what should we do now? First, the issue of recruiting militia to join the Knights' Order, second, the issue of changing shops to Medusa Territory, third, Helen and I participating in the Sacrifice Competition, fourth, whether I should help this guy find their lost Bird Tribe?" Liu Zhen asked.

  "Don't change the subject, there are things that can't be hidden! It's a fact!" Elder Anduril's face turned stern: "Lord Muriel didn't know you brought back the Worm People Bimon beforehand, so when he said something about finding the lost tribe of Medusa midway, it was just an excuse. You didn't see how flustered Crevan was at the time? This matter is his impromptu decision! The purpose is to offset your great achievement of bringing back the Worm People Bimon! Otherwise, would he not go to rescue the Eagle People? That's what he wants to hurry back and arrange everything for! Because there's no such thing as Medusa being discovered on the brink of death!"

  Helen stood beside him, silently shedding tears. After listening to the elder's words, she immediately wiped away her tears and lifted her head, with a strong will in her weakness.

  "Is this the entire Medusa army, consisting only of adult warriors? And are they all barely holding on in the depths of the swamp, exhausted and disheveled? Then let us take a closer look. When these warriors were in Lord Sangnan's territory, weren't they vigorous and robust, with radiant complexions? It's laughable to discuss physical functions in front of a several-thousand-year-old monk! No matter how skillfully they disguise themselves, I won't be deceived. Even if I were blind, I could smell the sweat and feces on them and know whether they've gone hungry or been on the brink of death just a few days ago!" Elder Anduril said with some agitation: "This Medusa army is clearly Muirneach's hidden power. He didn't want to make a move initially, but when he saw you achieve two great feats, he stepped out to overshadow your glory! If we don't suppress you, Lord Master, you will become the heroic figure who surpasses the 'Legendary Sacrifice' of the Mournhold cult! Or, to put it bluntly, you have already taken his place! Although Muirneach doesn't think so."

  "Elder, with this stick of yours, you're going to capsize the entire boat, and we don't have a shred of evidence. What I just said, the inference on the island, is just our collective guesswork, it's not necessarily correct. What if it really is Medusa returning? Liu Zhen was suddenly covered in goosebumps: "But if this matter is as you say, then it's not too terrifying after all. Is this old guy trying to learn humanity's trick? Then what's the point of harming me and Aiyue? To provoke a war between sea and land? And then use Medusa to muddy the waters? Or is he simply dissatisfied with my performance as Dragon Priest, wanting me to go die?"

  "The dead would know." Daisy shrugged: "These things are too complicated, they seem to be connected together, yet there seems to be a broken layer in between."

  "The Bimon Kingdom and 2,500 years ago are not comparable. Even compared to 1,000 years ago, the national power and population were worlds apart. Originally, the Bimon had four major tribes: the Water Tribe, Beast Tribe, Bird Tribe, and Swan Tribe, which were on an equal footing. So why is the Swan Tribe so arrogant? It's because they are the descendants of the Bodhi Tribe! The current King of Bimon is just a beast tribe leader, after all." Elder Andurand smiled: "During the Haigal War, the Bird Tribe was not as clever as the Beast Tribe and was defeated, leaving only two flightless tribes, the Ostreicht Penguin People and the Smay Swan Tribe. There has always been resentment between them. However, you young ones don't know the inside story."

  "No wonder the Swan Tribe is so arrogant." Liu Zhen nodded as if he understood and yet didn't.

  "You have spoken for the land, from now on you will be the chief of the insect tribe, and they will all obey you." Mo Er said as she sewed with a flying needle and thread, looking up at Liu Zhen.

  Everyone was stunned, and then burst out laughing. They looked at the young Mo Er making all sorts of expressions that only Awei'er would have, it was a bit unaccustomed to.

  "Whether they are framed or not, this group of Medusas is fishy anyway!" Guo De clenched his fist the size of a bucket and said coldly: "Just get rid of them!"

  "Right!" A group of militiamen with strong and brave minds immediately responded.

  "Nonsense!" Helen rolled her eyes at them.

  "Removing your vassals is just nonsense, if you don't want to, the king can't simply remove them, I think Lord Murini was just joking. As for the transfer of the weapon shop, with so many human captives in our hands, would the Sharuba family dare to do that? What's more likely is that those Medusas will resort to violence because they're blocking our way to Dorote, but violence is our strong suit. If a real fight breaks out, be careful not to get labeled as a ruthless returning hero, just injure them and we can wrap things up." Anduran's face showed a sly smile.

  "Master, you're quite cunning, I don't believe you don't know what to do, yet you still dare to act in front of me so realistically! You're simply a fool, a big idiot."

  "You didn't mention it, I had forgotten. What about that Autga master and his apprentice? Did you let them go? And what about Naga and Siren?" Liu Zhen suddenly remembered.

  "I fed them a sleep-inducing medicine that can last for a hundred days, locked them up with iron chains and threw them into the dungeon. I also assigned a large group of earth spirit warriors to guard them." Elder Andur said: "Otega cannot be released. If he returns to Dolotte Sharuba's family, they will definitely make a big fuss, which is not good for us either. When do we have time to communicate with him and recruit him as a follower? The Double Dragon Festival is approaching, who else can we follow?"

  "Liu was shaken for a moment in admiration. Truly, having an elder at home is like having a treasure. At the critical moment, he showed his skillful hands and meticulous mind."

  "You haven't returned yet, and we've been cleaning up the battlefield all this time. This road is really hard to clean up, the front line is too long! However, the main battlefield's weapons and armor have already been collected, and there are even tens of thousands of sets of magic-resistant armor, not bad at all. Those four iron puppets have been dragged out by mammoths to Razor Hill, this thing is really heavy! Fortunately, we have many giant centipedes, otherwise it would be really hard work. Now we have steel. Even without the support of the Sharlba family, we can still do some business with these weapons for a while." Korina said with great joy.

  "There are at least 500 to 600 mercenaries in the whirlwind, mainly because several saints on the road gathered a lot of scattered soldiers, so we didn't have a good hand." Robby also reported on the situation of the wolf riders.

  It's good to be back, and also help me spread the word. Let those villains be disheartened. Liu Zhen was nodding in agreement, not bad, Fei Lengcui even if she left him, can still guarantee normal operation, this is a mature performance.

  "Next year, the Olympic Games will be held in spring, but you'd better be careful yourself. Competition and combat are two different things. Next year, when Mr. Mourinho's daughter and son make their debut, it will definitely be a grand occasion, plus his attacking style of play. If he really succeeds, I'm sure his reputation will reach its peak next year. Who knows if he'll become the red-robed high priest afterwards? If so, you're in trouble, he'll definitely give you a hard time later on." Jingyu said with concern to Old Liu.

  "When I had conflicts with Prince Richard before, I already had such an epiphany. Now it's just that I don't know whether Mourinho and Medusa are related to the sea tribe that ambushed us. If they are!!! I will definitely skin him alive and make a lantern out of his hide!" Liu Zhen was furious as soon as he thought of Eveil and his severed arm.

  "When the time comes, he will become a Red Robe High Priest, and you may not be able to protect yourself. His strength is already so great, and there's still more that can't be seen. If his son and daughter can grab the top three in the next Great Priest Competition, plus their status as Song and Dance Dual Cultivators, the Temple might open another altar for them. And those Medusas are also extremely powerful, enough to establish an altar." Helen finally spoke up.

  "I can't afford to raise too many soldiers, and I've always pursued elite troops rather than miscellaneous ones. We rose to power with our current team, and we'll continue to conquer the world! Robi, you need to go back to the southeastern province again to do some propaganda for me. I want the wolf riders who come and go like the wind to spread my name throughout the land! Also, help me communicate with the upper echelons, I can help them supervise all the unruly Dogra people here. I know that you Saloman people also have a say in the Wolf Festival, so when I become the primary priest, I'll open up an altar and publicly grant you formal priestly status."

  Liu Zhen's voice was filled with anger: "I won't give Mu Rini this opportunity, what if he really has ties to the sea tribe that harmed us? I'd regret it for the rest of my life. The Priesthood Competition, I'll let the world know who is the most dazzling gem among the kingdom's priests! What about magic songs and dual cultivation? My Miao'er is a triple-cultivated water-electric song! Nine-linked ring, Water Linglong Flash Thunder... what concept?! Hmph, the invention of attack-type battle songs is also mine! The top three in the Olympics will undoubtedly belong to us, the trio of Feilongtui!"

  "I won't let Mu Rini get anything!"

  "When did you come up with the idea of an attacking battle song on your own?" everyone asked in surprise.

  "As long as Miao shoots out water arrows and sings a folk song with some weird pronunciation, isn't that an attack-type battle song? If they can't learn it, then they're stupid and have poor talent." Liu Zhen was laughing loudly.

  This guy is too cunning! Galen's cold sweat came down brush by brush.

  "The combat strength of those rhinoceros people and eagle-bodied people underground is probably not bad either. Let's just rescue them first, don't wait for Murini to arrange Medusa's affairs, turn around and save them, it will only increase his power!"

  Elder Andurin proposed.

  "I'm also preparing to make a trip to the human world, to see if the Vatican's priests can transfer Ayr's soul back. The demon tribe is impossible for me to find, so I have no choice but to look for priests." At the same time, I'll also get a holy purification to purify the poison on me, Vieri and Daisy's bodies. Liu Zhen shook his head: "Hurry up and leave, at that time take advantage of the situation and bring back the Rhinoceros people and Eagle people all at once, let Murini go eat shit. Grandma, he is not kind to me, so I won't be blamed for being unkind to him."

  "Even if the main festival master only stayed with you for three days, or a little less of that fake nobility and fame-seeking heart, perhaps he could have climbed to an unprecedented height with your help. But now, I responsibly say that his glory will end from this day on." Elder Anduril said confidently: "Next is the performance time of Heavenly King Festival Li Cha."

  "I agree." Helen said firmly after taking a deep breath.

  "I agree..."

  "I agree..."

  "I agree..."

  "Need I say more?"

  "Let's think about it, if my nose were to grow like a human's, what would the kingdom say?" Liu Zhen asked suddenly.

  "Two thousand five hundred years is too long for the Mang people to be away from home. Welcome back." Nana said.
