Chapter 332: The Temptation of the Holy Light

The Kingdom of Aedirn has fallen, the Elf Kingdom has been established, the wars between the North and South have temporarily ceased, and the world seems to have entered a brief period of peace.

After the Battle of Dol Blathanna, Wayne stayed in the elven palace within the valley for a month, almost turning into a sowing maniac. Except for when he was eating, he spent most of his time completely naked, working the land harder than an old ox, with a group of beautiful elven maids waiting on him to wash, dress, eat, and sleep, living a life comparable to an emperor.

Besides this, the other elves in the Dol Blathanna palace now respectfully address him as Prince Wayne or Lord Prince, as it seems Francesca has already revealed his identity to some of her trusted subordinates.

It was also fortunate that his physique was astonishing, with both stamina and recovery speed far exceeding that of a mortal, allowing him to withstand the demands of two top-tier elven sorceresses and, during the magical bloodline inheritance ritual, fill them to the brim every time, greatly accelerating the process of conceiving offspring.

Of course, they were not always idle during the period of making children; for Wayne and Francesca, this time could be considered a rare opportunity for the two of them to cast aside their worries and be together wholeheartedly.

When their bodies pressed against each other, the distance between their hearts also drew much closer, and they spoke freely about many more intimate topics.

What surprised Wayne was that this elven sorceress, who had already lived for thousands of years, still possessed quite a bit of girlish sentiment in her heart.

Although the outside world had been turned upside down by the news of the Elf Queen, it did not affect their joy at this moment in the slightest.

In their leisure time, the two also discussed the future development of the elven race in detail, and Francesca also shared the history of the elves and some secret information about the race with Wayne, including the Aen Seidhe elves and their special unit known as the Wild Hunt.

And as an Wizened Sage, Ida actually does not care much about whether the elven race is prosperous or not.

Although she possesses extremely powerful strength and stands almost at the pinnacle of spellcasters in the Witcher world, she has not taken action many times over the past ten thousand years.

The responsibility bestowed upon her by the race is merely to ensure the continuation of the elves; as a sage, her most important daily work is to maintain the inheritance of elven knowledge and magic, and she only intervenes in special circumstances or when the race is at the brink of life and death.

In extreme situations, in order to preserve the seeds for the continuation of the race, she, as a sage, will also do some quite extreme things.

The Elder Blood is the most precious bloodline for the elves, also known as the Blood of the Elders; it possesses the power to manipulate time and space, and it is not an exaggeration to call it the royal bloodline.

If it were not for the fact that this bloodline has almost no male successors, this Wizened Sage likely would not have stepped in herself to have Wayne cooperate with her in doing the deed, so as to increase the probability of its inheritance.

In terms of the concentration of the Elder Blood, Ida has more of an advantage than Francesca, and she is also the strongest existence among the elves in the application of the power of the Elder Blood; however, Francesca is younger than her and more suitable for bearing offspring, which led to this seemingly absurd behavior.

And according to Ida's plan, even if she were to have Wayne's child first in the future, this child would be adopted by Francesca as a member of the elven royal family to maintain the rule of the elves.

Now that the Elf Kingdom has been officially established, it is expected that before long, many of those elves located in the Northern Kingdoms will also want to return to their kin, and everything will gradually get on the right track.

A month later, Wayne, having left the Dol Blathanna palace, entered a rare state of a sage. Although a month of toil did not make his body feel the slightest bit of fatigue, mentally, it seemed to be the first time he felt a slight weariness toward such matters.

Fortunately, the agreement between him, Francesca, and Ida was to set aside one month each year for conceiving offspring, giving him sufficient time to soothe his mood; otherwise, it would be difficult for him to maintain a joyful mood for a long time.

"Wayne, you are too degenerate now, actually wasting a month specifically on this kind of thing."

"Your progress in learning magic has been delayed a lot because of this, and because of your indulgence, that power sealed within your body seems to have become more active as well."

After returning to the Order, Ranni rarely took the initiative to appear.

She first criticized Wayne's actions during this period, and then told him a piece of news that was not very pleasant.

Upon hearing that the hellish power within his body had become a bit more active, his good mood from this period instantly dissipated quite a bit.

Over these past few years, this power has been like a maggot attached to his body; he can neither drive it out of his body nor absorb it, and can only rely on the power of several goddesses to seal it. Even when he wants to use chaos magic, he is interfered with by this power, which is simply too annoying.

Actually, it is not that the power of the Hell Lord is too powerful; the main reason is that this power belongs to the Hell Lord and comes from the Sanctuary world, which has a much higher power level, naturally being several levels higher than the chaos magic in the Witcher world. With the knowledge of sorcerers, they cannot interfere with this high-level power, which is why it seems so troublesome.

However, Ranni, as a natural demigod, has a higher status of power than even the Lady of the Lake. Over these past few years, as Wayne's partner, she has also been researching ways to resolve this power.

Regarding the understanding of hellish power, she is likely the person in the Witcher world who understands it the deepest.

"Ranni, have you thought of any solution for this evil power in my body yet?"

Although according to Ranni, given Wayne's own condition, even without using other methods, he would be able to completely absorb the hellish magic in his body in another dozen years or so. As a long-lived species with a lifespan far exceeding that of mortals, a dozen years is nothing at all.

However, according to the plot of the Witcher world, this world is about to enter an era of change, and he does not want to become timid and unable to exert his strength because of the interference of the magic in his body when such an important time arrives.

Therefore, over these past few years, whether it was the Lady of the Lake in the temple, Ciri who was trapped by hellish magic like him, or Ranni whose power level is higher than everyone else, everyone has been studying the hellish magic in Wayne's body and looking for ways to counter this power.

Originally, Wayne did not hold much hope this time, but after hearing his question, Ranni unexpectedly said: "I seem to have found a way."

"However, are you willing to believe in the Holy Light, Wayne?"
