The atmosphere was tense and serious, but he was suddenly startled by the sound coming from outside the hall.
"What?"
This unexpected shout made the nervous elf ministers unable to react for a moment.
One minister subconsciously looked at the door angrily and shouted: "Who is making noise outside the palace? Wei..."
However, as soon as he uttered the word "guard" halfway, he stopped scolding him, and instead lowered his head in shock and fear, with a face full of shame: "It turns out to be a great priest."
In full view of everyone, Ellu, wearing a moon-white robe, a crown on her head, and holding a magic scepter, walked quickly from the middle of the door. How could the guards at the door stop such a big shot like her?
It should be noted that after the disaster one hundred and fifty years ago, the reputation and status of the Sacrificial Hall has become second only to the Elf King.
only……
The person who yelled those four words outside the palace just now was actually the great priest?
The ministers who had been standing and arguing in the main hall for more than ten hours had their brains not working very well at this moment. It was not until they saw Elu that they began to try hard to recall the four words that had just drifted into the main hall.
I remember it seemed like...
"The messenger of God is coming."
The ministers' breathing became rapid and they became confused.
Anything involving "gods" is a big deal in this world.
And divine messenger, in the dictionary of the elves, means the messenger sent by the gods to the human world... It is a noun that probably only exists in legends and classics, but why does it sound today?
These chaotic thoughts only lasted for a few seconds before their eyes shifted to the figure who followed Ai Lu and slowly strode into the palace door.
The other party... is obviously not an elf, but more like those aliens from another world.
At this moment, this alien walked in calmly and gracefully, his hands hanging on his sides, his eyes sweeping across the hall, as if he was very curious.
Probably because this scene was so weird, no one spoke in the entire hall for a while, and the silence was audible.
Only a series of surprised and uncertain glances looked past silently.
"He...could he be the envoy of God?"
…
…
Cheng Lin looked at this magnificent palace curiously.
The dome, which is more than ten meters high, is filled with relief paintings, four-sided hanging stars, dense cloud patterns on carved trees and vines, and numerous lifelike mythical creatures.
Two "double moons" drawn with magic gems are engraved in the relief, echoing from a distance, and a faint light shines from them.
The twin moons guard the totem of the World Tree, but there is actually a strange white mask on the totem.
That mask was clearly the one Cheng Lin wore when he was pretending to be the evil god.
Quietly overlooking the main hall!
"Is this... a totem created for me?"
Cheng Lin was very surprised and found it quite interesting.
Before entering, he had already found a plain coat with the tags removed from the initial space and put it on. It was okay to be more casual in front of Ai Lu, but here, he had to look like a "god envoy".
.
"Elu, this is..."
A slightly familiar voice sounded in my ears.
Cheng Lin withdrew his gaze and looked towards where the sound came from.
On the throne of the main hall, the elf king Luojia, who was dressed in rich clothes, had already stood up. He seemed to have thought of something, with an excited look on his face and looked at Ellu nervously.
"This is the messenger sent by the gods. I have something important to talk to you about. Please withdraw from the officials." Ailu said.
Luo Jia was silent for two seconds, took a deep breath, and then decisively ordered: "Adjourn the meeting!"
"……yes!"
Some of the ministers were still puzzled, but some had vaguely guessed what was going on. They stared at Cheng Lin with wide eyes, and after a moment they woke up and hurriedly lowered their gazes, not daring to be disrespectful, and hurriedly retreated out of the hall.
Not long after, all the officials exited the palace, and the two doors closed with a bang.
In such a large palace, only Cheng Lin, Luo Jia, and Ai Lu were left.
"What exactly is going on?"
Lorgar stepped down from the throne and asked questions.
Cheng Lin smiled slightly, thought for a while, nodded slightly towards the elderly Elf King, took out the white mask with his backhand, and in Luo Jia's shocked eyes, he smiled and asked: "Is your Majesty Luo Jia? Teacher..."
I mentioned you before."
…
…
The conversation with Lorja went more smoothly than expected.
With Elu's testimony, Cheng Lin's identity as the Divine Envoy was quickly accepted by the Elf King.
Probably because it has not been too long after all, Luojia, who is sitting on the throne, still clearly remembers what happened back then. The grace and power brought to him by the "evil god" has not diminished with the passage of time, but has become stronger and stronger.
Especially the latter.
"For more than a hundred years, the elves have been grateful for the blessings of the gods all the time. Have you seen the sculpture on the top of the hall? The position on the World Tree originally belonged to the God of Moonlight and Forest, but it has long been changed."
Luojia was very excited to talk.
He pointed to the dome of the main hall and said.
"Oh? Could it be that..."
"That's right, now, Master is the only righteous god our clan believes in." Luo Jia affirmed.
Cheng Lin looked strange.
This is an unexpected surprise, but in this way, my work will probably be easier to start, right?
He couldn't help but be glad that not too much time had passed in the projection world. Otherwise, when this generation passed away and a new king was replaced, it would be much more difficult to communicate.
"I believe the teacher will be very pleased when he knows the news." Cheng Lin smiled.
Hearing this, Luo Jia suddenly asked seriously: "I wonder what the reason for the arrival of the divine envoy is?"
"Two things," Cheng Lin raised his finger, glanced at Ai Lu, and said, "One is to get back the items that the teacher put here."
"I know, it's the seed of life, right? Don't worry, the Great Priest Elu is always guarding it carefully. It has been more than a hundred years and can be taken away at any time." Luojia nodded.
Seeing his calm response, Cheng Lin also breathed a sigh of relief.
He had previously worried whether Luojia would obstruct it.
To this end, he also prepared some rhetoric about "a fox pretending to be a tiger's power".
I thought about it and if it didn't work out, I would pull out the banner of the so-called "evil god" behind me.
Make a threat.
Now that Luo Jia is so cooperative, it saves a lot of trouble.
"Of course that's good. As for the second thing...it's about the current situation, I mean about another world." Cheng Lin Youran found a chair in the hall, sat down, and said slowly.
"Another world...is related to gods? I think your envoy's appearance...is quite similar to someone from another world." Luo Jia can sit on the throne. Apart from his unfathomable cultivation, his wisdom is naturally not bad.
Although he is a little older, he still guesses a lot in an instant.
But he was smart enough not to ask directly. Instead, he took the opportunity to ask questions when Cheng Lin mentioned it.
"Yes, this matter... is a bit complicated..." Sitting on the chair, Cheng Lin smiled and asked Luo Jia and Ellu to sit down as well, trying hard to restrain his evil-god-like sitting posture.
He thought about his words and reorganized his draft.
Then slowly, with the latter's expectant eyes, he said: "Actually... the other world you call was once the teacher's hometown... Well, of course, that happened many years ago, in the other world.
, the teacher has another very famous name."
"what name?"
"...Cheng Lin."
…
I must admit that Cheng Lin hesitated when he said this name.
Mainly because it feels extremely shameful.
There is quite an embarrassment of bragging.
Fortunately, he was thick-skinned, and after feeling a little uncomfortable, he continued the introduction in his usual tone.
It simply tells a slightly modified story about "Senior Cheng", "the only ascended person known to the earth", "shattering the void, setting foot on the sea of stars, traveling to infinite worlds" and other "stories" that humans are already familiar with.
The reason for this is mainly because after the elves come into contact with the Thirteenth Division, it is very likely that they will overcome the communication difficulties. When the time comes, the two sides will chat, and it will be more troublesome if something goes wrong during the conversation.
Especially before the projection started, the "video" of Senior Cheng saving Krum was played on the sky. It is almost certain that this topic will inevitably be brought up in the exchanges between the two civilizations.
Instead of doing this, it would be better for him to speak first and establish the basic understanding.
In Cheng Lin's narrative, the evil god "Senior Cheng" is a super strong man who ascended from the earth. He traveled to many worlds, accidentally passed by the elven world, and unexpectedly received prayers from Ellu, and then came...
This is roughly the story.
As the inheritance left by Senior Cheng on the earth, he followed his master's orders and practiced in seclusion, without being known to the world... Thanks to the fact that the elves also have a similar understanding that "strong people like to retreat from the world and practice in hiding", so this lie
It was easily accepted.
As for myself... As a student of Senior Cheng, I received a message from my master from across the starry sea a few days ago, asking him to come over to collect the seed of life and help the two civilizations live in peace.
Considering that I am stupid and have low cultivation level, I entered the royal court in this way and sat here.
"So that's it, the other world is actually the hometown of the gods? Then messenger, what exactly do you mean by the projection?" After hearing this story, the Elf King nodded repeatedly, sighing, but he still had questions.
"Projection... it's probably equivalent to a brief fusion of two worlds."
Cheng Lin thought for a moment, thought about it, stood up, and went straight to a sandbox-like thing erected in the main hall, which was probably a map used to mark the whereabouts of humans.
There are many papers and leather rolls beside the table.
He took out a pen, unfolded a piece of paper, and drew a simple floating land figure on it.
Turning around, he looked at Luojia and Ellu and introduced: "This is where you are currently. Below is the territory of a certain country on Earth."
Both elves looked surprised.
Only then did they clearly know where they were currently for the first time.
"So... our land is floating in the sky now?"
Ellu covered her mouth and her eyes were big. For some reason, she always subconsciously showed off her little daughter's attitude in front of the angel.
"That's right, if I have to make a metaphor, it's like a huge cloud floating in the sky."
Cheng Lin nodded, and then said sternly to them: "How the so-called projection is formed... I can't answer this. The teacher should know the answer, but unfortunately he didn't reveal it."
"The most important thing about projection that I know so far is that... its existence is time-sensitive."
"Timeliness?"
"That's right, according to earth's time, the sun rises and sets for one day, which is shorter than one day in your world. The duration of a projection is about one to two days, usually no more than three days. In other words, very quickly
, the two worlds will be separated again... the people on Earth will also disappear under the action of the laws of space, in other words, everything will return to its original state."
After saying that, Cheng Lin looked at the two quietly, only to see that both the elf girl Ailu and the elf king with unfathomable strength were looking at him with extremely surprised expressions. After a while, Luo Jia woke up first.
, but let out a long breath.
If everything would return to normal in a few days, then his hanging heart would be much more stable.
"Messenger you..."
Just when he was about to ask something, suddenly, the hall door flashed with magical light, scarlet and dazzling, which meant that there was an emergency, and the message that had to be reported to the Elf King had been delivered.
"God, wait a moment."
Luo Jia looked over with apologetic eyes. When Cheng Lin nodded, he waved his sleeves and saw the thick and tall palace door slowly opening.
outside the door.
A soldier knelt on one knee on the innermost step outside the palace, lowered his head, held an urgent letter in both hands, and said loudly: "Excuse me, General Harold reported that the aliens want to send an envoy to the royal capital.
, to meet His Majesty!"
Luojia frowned.
Ellu opened her mouth.
Cheng Lin, the envoy standing next to the "sand table", was slightly startled.
The Thirteenth Division is going to send an envoy over?
In this case……
"Angel, what do you think should be done?" Luojia turned to look at him and asked in a low voice.
"What do you think, Your Majesty?" Cheng Lin blinked and asked.
Luo Jia dusted off his fine clothes, laughed and said, "Since you are coming from the hometown of the gods, of course I want to meet him!"
"I'll see you then, but..." Cheng Lin subconsciously tapped his fingers on the table a few times, his eyes flashed, and he said with a smile, "How about I take care of the contact with the envoys?"
Luo Jia was silent for a moment, looked at him deeply, and said seriously: "Then it's a big deal!"
