Chapter 195: Black Eats Black

“Hehe, speaking of this, these are the two most embarrassing things for The Church!” Lan Fake couldn’t help but laugh, “When the Divine Miracle descended back then, the God of Light casually blessed the Crown of the First Pope, giving it Divine Power and doubling its power . It instantly went from a Legendary Item directly to a Sub-divine Artifact. From then on, the Crown of the First Pope and the Revelation became the two most important sacred items of The Church. But a thousand years ago, a peerless genius appeared in the Undead Army. With incomparably high wisdom, he led the Undead Army to conquer more than half of the Empire of Light in one fell swoop, and even the Pope at the time was destroyed by him. Although he had to retreat to the Undead Continent under the pressure of the Continental Allied Forces, the Crown of the First Pope became his trophy. After being transformed by Undead magic, he put it on his own head. This man is the Lich King Sorrow, one of the seven monarchs of the current Undead Continent!”

“Afterward, about six or seven hundred years ago, the Pope at that time forgot the pain after the wound healed. When the underground forces suddenly invaded on a large scale, to show off his peerless martial achievements, he actually went to the Kingdom of Dwarves to help fight, and he even brought the Revelation with him. As a result, an accident happened in that war. The Pope and his group were surrounded by the main force of the Dark Moon Elves, resulting in the entire army being wiped out. Just like that, even the Revelation was lost!” Lan Fake then laughed, “From then on, successive Popes could only rely on a little bit of things left in the notes of their predecessors to learn the Grand Command Spell, resulting in greatly reduced power. It greatly humiliated the peerless reputation of this spell once known as the ‘Strongest Spell on the Continent’.”

“What is the Grand Command Spell? How can it have such an arrogant title?” Old Xie immediately asked curiously.

“Legend has it that it is a magical spell taught by the Deity to the Church of Light, possessing immense power.” Lan Fake then said with a helpless wry smile, “It is precisely because the Human Race had the Revelation and the Grand Command Spell that you were able to occupy one of the most fertile lands on the Continent. And the reason why the Elves, despite having so many Experts, still had to retreat into the Forest of Elves and give up the central area of the Continent is also because of this!”

“You aren’t trying to say that the Elves’ double-digit Legend Rank Experts couldn’t beat a Pope holding the Revelation who knew the Grand Command Spell, are you?” Old Xie immediately asked in surprise.

“If the Elves didn’t use the Divine Artifacts Sun God Bow and Moon Wheel, they indeed couldn’t beat him!” Lan Fake said solemnly.

“But why wouldn’t the Elves use their Divine Artifacts?” Old Xie immediately asked in confusion.

“Because after the civil strife of the Moon Elves, the various races on the Continent were no longer willing to be ruled by the Elves. So, it wasn’t just you Humans who wanted the Elves to retreat, but also us Beast Race and the Dwarves!” Lan Fake said indifferently, “The Beast Race has the Divine Artifact Behemoth War Drum, the Dwarves have the Divine Artifact Thunder God’s Hammer, plus your Humans’ Revelation. With these three Divine Artifacts and our three major forces joining hands, we finally forced the Elves to retreat!”

“Wow!” Old Xie exclaimed in surprise, then suddenly said, “You mean, this Revelation is an amazing Divine Artifact!”

“The whole Continent knows that!” Lan Fake rolled his eyes at Old Xie and said, “In terms of power alone, perhaps only the Star Fall of the Star Elves can be compared with it. Other Divine Artifacts, like the Sun God Bow, Moon Wheel, Thunder God’s Hammer, and even the Behemoth War Drum, are not as good as the Revelation. It’s a pity that Star Fall disappeared long ago, and the Revelation fell into the hands of the Moon Elves.”

“That’s strange!” Old Xie immediately said, “Since the Revelation is so powerful, why would the Moon Elves use it to exchange for a mere Siren Priestess?”

“Hehe!” Lan Fake smiled slightly and said, “Although the Revelation is powerful, that also depends on the person. For example, with the Elves’ Divine Artifacts, people without Royal Family blood simply cannot use them. The Revelation is similar. The Moon Elves have now been polluted by evil aura, so how could they use the Revelation which has completely Holy attributes? They don’t even dare to touch it. After all, pure Holy Power like the Revelation has extremely strong lethality. Even Legend Rank Experts of the Dark Element wouldn’t dare to touch it easily! So the Revelation is useless in the hands of the Dark Moon Elves, it’s just a decoration. If necessary, trading this thing is not impossible.”

“Hehe!” Old Xie suddenly couldn’t help but laugh, “I suddenly thought of something. You said since the Revelation is so powerful, and the Grand Command Spell is so awesome, then why was the Pope wiped out, to the point that he couldn’t even protect the Revelation?”

“You’re asking me? Who should I ask?” Lan Fake said helplessly, “The situation back then, let alone you, even I am still curious. In fact, everyone on the Continent is full of doubts about that bizarre event, so much so that event has become one of the hardest unsolved mysteries on the Continent!”

After Old Xie heard this, he didn’t speak, but quietly pondered. At this time, Loya, who was lying on the ground, suddenly said, “Your Excellency, I have now explained everything clearly to you. Look, can our deal continue?”

“This?” Old Xie suddenly smiled slightly and said, “I still need to consider it. However, don’t worry, I will give you an answer soon!”

Old Xie then ordered Pars, “Pars, untie him, send him to the back, and treat him well. Don’t mistreat our guest.”

“Yes!” Although Pars didn’t know what Old Xie was planning, he still honestly did as he was told. Together with Shalas, they got Loya out of the spider webs, then took him out to settle him in.

Seeing that Old Xie had released him and was being so polite, Loya immediately felt a trace of joy in his heart, thinking that he would be able to escape death this time, and he kept thanking Old Xie.

Old Xie just giggled foolishly in response. After sending him away, Lan Fake asked curiously, “Don’t tell me you really plan to help them smuggle the Siren. If you do that, you’ll be getting on their pirate ship. If they get exposed in the future, you’ll probably die without knowing how! Also, as far as I know, the Bishops of the Empire of Light and the nobles of the Griffin Kingdom are exactly the same breed. The only harvest you’ll get for helping him now is being silenced!”

“Haha!” Old Xie immediately laughed loudly and said, “Do I need you to teach me that? As long as one isn’t an idiot, they would know that old guy can’t be trusted.”

“Since you know, why did you treat him like that?” Lan Fake immediately asked in confusion, “Keeping such trash is also a disaster, it’s better to make him disappear quickly!”

“Hehe!” Old Xie smiled slightly, then said, “I am thinking about a question. Look, Loya intends to trade with the Dark Moon Elves. If I didn’t guess wrong, the trading location is definitely in the Kingdom of Dwarves. My idea is, can we help Loya complete this mission?”

“What kind of ghost idea are you kid planning?” Lan Fake immediately asked in confusion.

“Hehe!” Old Xie then gave an evil smile and said, “I mean to say, the territory of the Dwarves isn’t peaceful either. Perhaps some accident will happen during their transaction, resulting in both Loya and the Dark Moon Elves being finished. And the Revelation and the Siren will disappear without a trace, becoming another unsolved case in the history of the Continent!”

After hearing Old Xie’s words, Lan Fake completely understood and couldn’t help but smile bitterly, “You kid, you are planning to eat black with black!”

“Hehe!” Old Xie smiled proudly and said, “So what? With a Divine Artifact like the Revelation, don’t you want to take a look? It’s not easy for us to have such an opportunity! Missing it would be punished by heaven!”

“This!” When Lan Fake heard this, he also hesitated. After all, a legendary Divine Artifact like the Revelation was something anyone would want to see. It’s just that Lan Fake knew that this transaction definitely wouldn’t be too simple. There must be countless risks hidden. If they rashly participated, they might not get the meat, and would even lose their old lives for nothing. You have to know, just the Empire of Light sent out a group of Experts like Loya, so one could imagine how many powerful Experts the Dark Moon Elves would have participating.

Thinking of this, Lan Fake couldn’t help frowning and said, “Your idea is good, but have you thought about how difficult it is?”

“I know you are worried about the Experts on the Dark Moon Elves’ side, but in my opinion, they are actually not worth worrying about at all.” Old Xie laughed.

“Huh? You kid are arrogant enough?” Lan Fake immediately laughed, “Do you know how many Experts the Dark Moon Elves have? As ancient Elves with the same longevity and wisdom as the Sun Elves, there are definitely hidden dragons and crouching tigers in their tribe! With something at the level of the Revelation, it wouldn’t be strange even if a Legend Rank Expert appeared to escort it. Just the two of us, how can we eat black with black?”

“Hehe, you are thinking too complicatedly!” Old Xie said disapprovingly, “The transaction place is, after all, in the Kingdom of Dwarves. Would the Dark Moon Elves bring in too many Experts? Even if there is a Legend Rank Expert, so what? As long as we shout out and expose the matter, naturally there will be tidal waves of Dwarf Warriors to drown him alive. Hmph, furthermore, I don’t believe that since Loya dared to come to the meeting secretly without bringing a Saint Domain Expert, he wouldn’t be on guard against the other party using Experts to plot against him?”

“Then what do you mean?” Lan Fake hurriedly asked.
