Chapter 76: Facts and Conspiracies

Chris was just a banshee from the countryside.

Most of the time, they roamed outside the great cities and central tribes, disliked everywhere, so their vision was quite ordinary.

Earlier, when Rod fought with Rune, she hadn't seen how strong the two of them were.

Moreover, for spirits, lacking a body meant lacking many senses that only a body possesses.

Thus, she mistakenly believed magic rings were all very sophisticated things.

Rod raised his hand and grasped emptily.

Five gravity chains carrying purple spiritual energy tore through space, flew out from all sides, and bound Chris and Georgi.

Just at that moment, Chris triggered the ring of 【Swift Movement】.

Together with Georgi, she turned into a shadowy figure and flew toward the door.

"Goodbye! Hahaha—"

But she didn't notice at all that the gravity chains on her body were still connected to them.

The next moment.

The spatial window of the 【Gravity Chains】 pulled back rapidly, emitting a hurried clatter of chains colliding.

Chris was instantly dragged back to her original spot.

Her smile froze on her face.

"Wow, gravity type."

Lily said in surprise.

The gravity type has always been a master at countering movement skills.

Some gravity field domains can even prevent high-level spells from using 【Spatial Shift】.

Rod had been learning this spiritual art for only a short time.

Therefore, whether it was Land Naga Eve or traveling student Rune, when they used their 【Spatial Shift】 rings, they could not be fixed and connected by 【Gravity Chains】.

But this little thing, Chris, was different; the lower-level 【Swift Movement】 was just right for him to practice on.

"Gravity spells are especially hard to learn; you're so burly, yet you managed to figure it out."

Lily put one hand on her hip, showing approval and admiration.

"Luck."

Rod smiled.

Actually, this was thanks to the spirit seed Vivian had gifted him earlier, which had raised his talent ceiling considerably.

He snatched the ring from Chris's hand, who was still in a dazed state.

"Speak up, you seem to have lied again."

This time, even Lily no longer stopped Rod from stepping forward with clenched fists.

A moment later.

Chris knelt on the ground, her face bruised and swollen.

In mid-air, a magic contract was displayed.

The main content was to bring Georgi back to Golden Ear Town, the town between Emerald City and Jade Court.

According to what Chris said.

This male elf who loved the peculiar had slept with a fifty-year-old female landlord in Golden Ear Town; after a few weeks of intimacy, he left carefree, thinking it was a mutual, no-strings-attached affair, but unexpectedly, the female landlord took it seriously.

Since he left, she had lost her appetite; to relieve her husband's lovesickness, this female landlord's twenty-year-old husband spent money to hire the highest-ranking person in the local area—that is, this Lady Chris.

Only they didn't expect that after Lady Chris struggled to sneak into the city, she was hunted down the very next day.

"Fine, quite melodramatic."

Rod commented.

As for why she hadn't used the magic ring to escape before, it was because the magic contract forbade her from using it for any purpose other than for Georgi.

"Now you believe I'm innocent, right?"

Georgi said with a mournful face.

"Shut up, you're no good either."

Lily scolded.

Having traveled north and south for years, she had seen many perverted elves.

This one could actually be considered harmless.

Rod and Lily briefly discussed it.

They quickly decided to throw this Chris into the Security Hall.

As for Georgi, besides attacking him morally, the current laws of Emerald City seemed to have no real recourse against him.

In a short while.

With the banshee turned back into a frog.

The two left Bob's house.

Georgi watched their departing backs, and his sorrowful expression gradually flattened out.

Turning cold.

On the bed, the obese Lady Bob slowly sat up.

Her face turned the color of charcoal.

The smell of sulfur spread through the air.

"Why didn't you kill them, Georgi?"

Her voice was charming and young, sounding nothing like that of a fifty-year-old woman.

"They are irrelevant. The Domain will open the day after tomorrow; we cannot expose ourselves over such a trivial matter. Also, do not possess my beloved, Young Lady Black Rose."

Lady Bob brushed her sparse hair.

She adjusted her silk nightgown, her expression relaxed and carefree.

"You understand. Our Demon Kin are not welcome on the continent; we must borrow something."

"But your stench makes me want to vomit."

Georgi said with disgust.

As an elf over three hundred years old, he had long learned the origins of demons from his tribe's historical records.

They are naturally evil beings that feed on negative emotions and delight in chaos.

The struggle between elves and them is certainly no less than that between humans and them.

"Heh, say whatever you like. Just don't forget your current identity."

"Joining the Mother of Nature does not mean I will believe in everything you stand for."

"Of course, of course. I have seen many like you who want to smash the pot while eating. We do not take so-called faith as the sole criterion; benefits and gains are what matter. Once this matter is completed, we will naturally help you restore your Magic Rank."

For an exiled elf, magic power is returned to nature.

At this moment, Georgi possessed only a First-Rank Magic Rank.

He had his own visions and ideas in his heart, all of which required strength to realize.

This was also the reason he joined the Demon Kin organization, the Mother of Nature.

"Is it really that easy to strike against the Emerald Domain?"

"The three Domain Mages of Emerald City are not here. This is the only time in twenty years. You must do it whether you want to or not, my Mr. Elf."

Two days later.

The Dragon Watching Festival concluded smoothly after two giant dragons had a loud quarrel and smashed a mountain peak.

Early in the morning.

Rod arrived at the central district of Emerald City.

The Emerald Domain sounds like it is connected to a Domain Mage's Domain.

In fact, it is indeed so. Natural Domains like the Emerald Domain were important research subjects for mages when they sought new paths back then.

It can even be said that every Domain Mage must reference existing natural Domains.

Following the city avenue straight ahead.

He finally arrived at a huge square, in the center of which stood a green jade tree that blocked out the sky and sun.

"Given that the Jade Tree is the only thing in the Emerald Domain that has changed, some people regard it as the center of the Domain. Many ordinary citizens therefore treat it as an object for prayer or exorcism."

Lily said from the side.

The two had agreed to act together.

During this time, she greeted many others who were also at the peak of the Fifth Rank; she was clearly a social expert.

And as a partner in chivalry, Rod did not hide the fact that he possessed a letter of recommendation.

"Touching the Jade Tree is one method to enter the Emerald Domain, but the premise is that one must undergo a trial to prove you are qualified to enter the Domain and advance your rank. Of course, many nobles are exempt from this process; the Domain is one of their assets."
