Chapter 478 - Was Devoted to the Public, Which Was Admirable
Chapter 478: Was Devoted to the Public, Which Was Admirable
After listening to Dave’s question, everyone in the temple looked hesitant.
This was because everyone could fight with all their might in the previous defense battle of Devil Flame City. Although the enemy’s army was the Dark Elves, their leader had completely betrayed the Demon Race!
However, the surrounding cities only chose to accept the orders of the Demon Race because they did not understand the true intention of Gajero. Their blind devotion led them to accept the orders of the Demon Race. If they were to directly start a war with them, it would probably cause a tragedy for the Elf Race!
Vincent contemplated for a moment and said, “First, send someone to spread the news that all the apostles have been executed at the border. Then, send someone to communicate with the surrounding city lords and invite them to visit the ruins of Bright Moon City. Hopefully, they will wake up in time and stand on our side! If you meet a stubborn city lord, bring some dark elves who are highly respected among the army under his command to visit Bright Moon City. I believe that most of the elves will put the interest of the Elf World first!”
Dave nodded and responded in a deep voice, “This is a good idea! It can prevent conflict with the least sacrifices. I will send someone to do it now!”
“Wait, I’ll go with you!”
Vincent stopped Dave and added, “After you finish sorting out those things, it would be time for you to inherit the Divine Spark.”
Dave sighed helplessly, but he could only nod and agree.
After Vincent and Dave left, Avril, Angelina, Monica, Catherine, and Ebenezer were left in the temple.
Ebenezer looked around the temple and realized that he was the only male left behind. He could not help but feel a little embarrassed, he scratched his head and said, “I am the city defense officer of the Devil Flame City. The war has just ended so I will go check the city defense!”
After saying that, Ebenezer quickly left the temple.
Catherine looked at Avril and Angelina feeling a little embarrassed. She subconsciously leaned closer to Monica as she was more familiar with her.
This was because she was aware of the relationship between Avril, Angelina, and Vincent. She did not believe that Vincent could lead the elves to victory from the very beginning. She still maintained the same beliefs.
After seeing Vincent become a god, Catherine was a little in denial. It was difficult for her to change her belief instantly so she felt embarrassed standing in front of Avril and Angelina.
At that moment, Monica wanted to hide behind Catherine. This was because she was previously Vincent’s helper before becoming the High Priest of Devil Flame City. It would raise suspicions amongst the people that she got the position because of her relationship with Vincent.
While facing Avril and Angelina, Monica felt insecure. She thought that the girls would see her as nobody other than Vincent’s helper. This made her feel a little ashamed of herself.
Angelina asked Monica, “Did you build this temple?”
Monica responded in a panic manner, “Yes! Do you think there is anything that needs to be changed? If so, let me know and I will immediately arrange someone to change it!”
Angelina slightly shook her head slightly and smiled. She said, “I don’t have any suggestions. You have done well! I’ve also read the books you’ve written for Vincent. I’ve distributed them to the army at Serene Spring City. I’d like to invite you for a trip to Serene Spring City to preach to the believers over there and help the current City Lord, Melissa, to build another temple like this one!”
Monica winked at her. She thought that Angelina would speak to her to declare her sovereignty, but she had never thought that she would ask her to do more things for Vincent.
“Oh, okay! Rest assured, after City Lord Dave has settled the matters at hand, I will ask him to send someone to escort me to Serene Spring City!”
Angelina slightly smiled and did not say anything else.
However, Avril, who was standing at the side, walked towards them looking curious and asked, “Send someone to escort you? Aren’t you Vincent’s follower? How could he not give you the ability to protect yourself? He is too stingy!”
Monica coughed as she heard what she said. She didn’t expect Avril to take her side and blamed Vincent. That was so understanding of her!
Was it possible that both of them had no intention to declare their sovereignty against her and reinforce the idea that Vincent belonged to them?
Monica felt a little guilty looking at Avril and Angelina. She quickly explained, “No, no, no, you’ve misunderstood! Actually, Vincent answered my prayers, he gave me many abilities but my strength was too low and I wasn’t good at fighting, so I didn’t know how to use those abilities!”
After hearing that, Avril grabbed Monica’s wrist and walk out of the door. She asked, “What kind of abilities did he give you? Show me one by one. If there’s anything you don’t understand, I can explain it to you. There’s nothing I don’t know about his abilities!”
When Catherine saw Monica’s flustered look, she was worried that her earlier worries would come true. At that moment, she couldn’t believe that Avril and Monica might get along so well. At the same time, she had lost Monica’s company so she felt even more awkward in front of Angelina.
Angelina smiled at Catherine indifferently and said softly, “I heard that you have been helping City Lord Dave with his affairs?”
Catherine nodded and responded, “Yes!”
Angelina then said, “Since Dave and Vincent are going to deal with the problems in the surrounding cities, and also inherit the divine spark, I believe that they will not be able to come out and take charge of the various affairs in the city for a short period of time. So please work hard. The war in the city has just ended, so there must be many things that will need to be arranged. You should return to your post now!”
After hearing that, Catherine quickly reacted and said, “That’s right! How could I have forgotten? The resources in the city and the foreign elves need to be properly settled. I’ll get men to deal with them now!”
Catherine suddenly slowed down and turned her head to look at Angelina looking surprised. She carefully asked, “Is that all you want to say to me? Don’t you want to ask me about anything else?”
Angelina smiled and said, “The purpose of us staying in the Elf World is to help all the elves to overthrow the rule of the Demon Race. We also need to teach them the ability to handle and survive difficult situations. Do you have any questions for me?”
Catherine was speechless. At that moment, she realized how noble and selfless Vincent, Angelina, and the others were!
If Angelina were to inherit the divine spark, Catherine would want to become a follower of Angelina. While she, as an elf, was still worried about some trivial matters, Angelina and the others were thinking about how to help the elves to redeem themselves and rejuvenate. This made Catherine feel very ashamed.
“Nothing that I want to ask. I will leave first.”
Catherine nodded at Angelina and quickly walked out of the temple.
Outside the temple, Avril was like a strict teacher, circling around Monica and sizing her up. She frowned and urged, “Don’t just stand there, quickly show me what kind of ability you got from Vincent! If the ability you got from him is enough to protect yourself, you can go anywhere you want in the future!”
“The world of the elves is very big. There are many cities that have not changed their beliefs. You, the high priest who insists on preaching to Vincent, have a heavy burden on your shoulders. You can’t always wait for others to protect you. You have to learn how to protect yourself! Especially as a woman, you have to learn to become stronger!”
Monica listened to Avril’s advice and quickly steadied her mind. She opened her arms and entered the fire spiritualization state.
When Avril saw that, she could not help but nod and say, “Not bad! Fire spiritualization is a special ability that comes from the Flaming Sun Divine Body. It is also one of the tricks to grasp the fire law. If you have the fire spiritualization state, it means that you have grasped most of the fire law. This will allow your strength to far surpass other elves of the same level. Do you have any other abilities?”
Monica put away the fire spiritualization state and nodded at Avril. “There is another ability, but I still don’t know how to use it!”
Avril responded with a frown, “You don’t know? Then you can use it casually first. Let me see what kind of ability it is!”
Monica nodded and raised her hand to point at her hair that had already turned fiery red. She said softly, “Modify the bend!”
As soon as Monica said that, her long straight hair instantly turned into an exaggerated wave.
After seeing that, Avril could not help but cough. She walked towards her and patted Monica’s shoulder. She said helplessly, “This is the right to modify. It’s one of the most powerful abilities Vincent has! You can use it to do many magical things. If you use it to do your hair, it would be a waste! I’ll teach you two practical methods today!”
Monica looked at Avril feeling embarrassed. Her face was blushing.
Avril gave a feeling of an elder sister. Monica gradually let go of the awkwardness in her heart. She sincerely regarded Avril as her teacher, but she knew nothing about training and combat. This made Monica feel ashamed.
However, Avril did not say anything about it. Instead, she patiently explained to her, “Look carefully. I’m going to show you the most important method of modifying authority, modify and open the door!”
Avril raised her hand and drew a line in the space in front of her. An invisible space door instantly opened, revealing an empty and magical space.
Monica naturally recognized this ability because she saw Vincent use it before. She sighed in disbelief, “I also inherited this ability? I could go anywhere freely like Vincent?”
Avril nodded and responded with a smile, “That’s right, little girl! You already have this ability. I didn’t expect Vincent to be so generous with you!”
