Chapter 283 The Village of Miluya, the Land of Elves
Gungnir, known as the Eternal Spear!
If Roy couldn't guess who the god who gave him the trial was if he saw the name "Divine Spear," he might as well just jump into the river and commit suicide.
The spear in Roy's hand was jet black and unadorned, as if it were made of ordinary iron, just like his inactive elven holy sword. The two seemed ordinary and simple, but they exuded a sense of returning to simplicity and the great way of simplicity.
It's a pity it's a replica, only usable once. If it were the real thing, it would be amazing.
Roy grinned at the depths of the void, "Thank you very much, God I've never met!"
"Get out of here and never let me see you again, or I'll beat you every time I see you!"
"Hahahaha!"
Odin, residing in the heavens and seated atop his cloud throne, has white hair and beard, and his body is as withered as a rake, looking like a frail old man who would collapse at the slightest breeze. But upon closer inspection, his body is muscular, and beneath his bulging muscles lies a divine power that can shake the universe. Every gesture he makes exudes an awe-inspiring aura, causing the space to tremble and resonating with the surrounding rules.
Odin wore a slightly amused smile. For a great god, possessing divine power and playing by his own rules, to lose to a human was a first in billions of years.
He didn't want to seal his divine power down to the mortal realm, but being a god was just too boring, so he had to find some fun in the heavenly realm, and this was the only way he could find a loophole.
Give Roy a replica of Gungnir.
Once Roy reaches LV.8, he can unleash the divine power within the divine spear. I wonder what kind of expressions those guys in the lower realm will have when they see his divine spear.
That's genuine divine power!
If Roy goes berserk, it's not impossible for him to clear the entire surface with a single blow!
Odin struggled to suppress his laughter, a true test of his ability to hold back his chuckles.
"Wow! Wow! Wow!"
Two ravens swooped down and landed steadily on Odin's shoulders, their cawing echoing as they eagerly recounted everything they had witnessed in the mortal realm.
Odin, like an old man in a park listening to music, squinted his eyes, enjoying the wonders and interesting stories of the lower realm.
The Great Tree Sea, a relic of immortals.
Space distorted, and the vast, boundless void receded like a tide, revealing hard stone walls and a dark, gloomy room in the ruins before Roy.
"By the way, kid, that gun can only be used once, and you need to be at level 8!"
Odin's voice echoed in Roy's ears.
Replicas of god-tier weapons require LV.8 to use, so the real Gungnir would probably require at least LV.9 to use!

If Haruhime hadn't used "Level Up," which halved the experience points gained in later battles, she probably would have gained even more. But there wasn't enough time then, so she managed to defeat Alphia just in time.
The most significant improvement is in magical power.
The jump from Rank I to Rank C is probably related to the immortal essence and flesh he consumed.
However, Roy did not see any skills like "Fairy Bloodline" appear in the skill list, indicating that a third of his flesh and blood was not enough to acquire new skills.
Ryu and Haruhime were probably the same.
However, it doesn't mean it's completely ineffective; these things work gradually and subtly, constantly improving one's physical condition.
Roy's gaze fell on the two girls. He saw Ryu and Haruhime slowly wake up, their bright, different colored eyes reflecting his face.
"Lord Roy!"
A call filled with longing and joy resounded.
Before Roy could respond, the delicate and frail Chunji had already thrown herself into his arms.
"Waaaaahh ...
Liu remained silent, but the ripples in her sky-blue eyes held a thousand unspoken words. The longing and excitement surging within them were intense, in no way inferior to Chun Ji's.
The flow of time is different in the void space and the memory world. Roy felt that it was three days, while Ryu stayed in the memory world for more than a year, and Haruhime even experienced seven or eight years, from childhood to the process of being abducted.
"Ryu!"
Roy turned to the side, gently opening his arms, and softly called out to Ryu, who was standing to the side with her head slightly lowered, offering a silent yet firm invitation.
A blush spread across Liu's pretty face. She bit her lower lip, suppressing her shyness, and finally took a step forward, like a cautious kitten, gently and tentatively throwing herself into that warm embrace. As soon as she leaned against Roy's chest, all her reserve and unease vanished, and an unprecedented sense of security enveloped her.
Roy felt the affection of the two girls in his arms, tightened his arms, and hugged them tightly.
You are all my wings!
With Roy's careful comforting words, Ryu and Haruhime's emotions finally stabilized after a long time.
The three left the ruins. The trial bestowed by the gods was over, and the treasures inside had been squandered by the fairies. There was no need to stay.
During this trip, Ryu and Haruhime awakened new magic, Roy obtained a weapon powerful enough to kill a god, and all three of them experienced a significant increase in their stats. Haruhime even accomplished a great feat and will be able to level up to LV.2 upon returning.
It was worth the long trip they made.
As they emerged from the gates of the ruins, a vast expanse of fire fairies and water spirits came into view.
"You've finally come out!"
"Is everything alright?"
Upon seeing Roy and his group appear, the fire fairies and water fairies who had been waiting for a long time rushed forward, their faces filled with anxiety and concern.
The fairies were deeply grateful to Roy, the great benefactor who mediated the feud between the two races.
Roy looked around at the many fairies and asked curiously, "How long have we been inside?"
"Half a month has passed."
The one who answered him was the elegant and gentle water spirit leader, whose eyes seemed to be churning with emotion, and whose tone was full of worry.
Through the explanations of the fairies, Roy finally understood that from the moment they stepped into the trial, the entire ruins had been completely sealed off by an invisible force, and no one could get close anymore.
The first sports meet of the Flame Fairy and the Water Fairy has come to an end. After a tough competition, the Water Fairy narrowly won and took the first championship.
For the next three months, the Flame Fairy must control her desires and adapt to the other person's lifestyle.
Although the water fairies dwell by the lake and love tranquil arts such as composing, singing, and literature, when their emotions are high and their minds are agitated, their magic will surge uncontrollably, enough to affect the celestial phenomena and turn into continuous drizzle, plunging the surrounding area into endless gloom and rain. This is also the thing that the fire fairies hate the most.
Anyway, Roy helped them take the first step towards reconciliation between the two races, and after that, it was none of his business.
If you want to live together, you always have to work things out.
On the eve of their departure, the fairies held a grand farewell banquet for Roy, Ryu, and Haruhime.
The Flame Fairy offered strong liquor and sizzling, oily roasted meat, while the Water Fairies brought out the freshest fruits. The crowd gathered around the leaping campfire, reveling all night long.
The fact that Roy and his two companions successfully passed the Trial of the Gods indicates that they possess a portion of the bloodline of the immortals, which naturally drew the attention of the fire and water spirits, making them even more enthusiastic towards them.
Although the fairies have lived in the Great Tree Sea for generations and are conservative by nature, they cherish their companions and respect the choices of each of them.
Therefore, they sincerely regarded Roy, Ryu, and Haruhime as trustworthy "one of their own".
Even the grandest feast must eventually come to an end.
The next morning, Roy and his group decided to set off. Many fairies surrounded them, their eyes filled with reluctance, and saw them off all the way to the edge of the forest.
After spending more than ten days in the ruins, the Flying Hoof Thunder Ox arrived at the Great Tree Sea and got plenty of rest.
boom!
A bolt of silver lightning tore through the sky, carrying immense force, and crashed down onto the earth!
The earth shook violently, and rocks flew through the air.
As the smoke and dust slowly dissipated, a charred crater with a radius of five meters was clearly revealed.
In the center of the pit, a majestic divine bull stands proudly, its chariot looking down with disdain. Its entire body is wrapped in fine, leaping electric snakes; it is none other than the Flying Hoof Thunder Bull and the Divine Wheel!
Ryu instinctively protected Haruhime; it was the first time they had ever seen this treasure, and their beautiful eyes widened in astonishment.
Roy climbed onto the Divine Wheel and saw the surprised expressions on Ryu and Haruhime's faces as they faced the Noble Phantasm. He smiled and extended a large hand to them, "Come on up!"
"Um!"
Ryu and Haruhime blushed slightly and shyly placed their small hands on each other's sides.
The moment their fingertips touched, a tingling, electric-like sensation spread through Ryu and Haruhime's bodies. They both felt their cheeks burning and turning red, and all their strength was quietly drained away by this strange feeling.
With a slight effort, Roy lifted the feather-light Ryu and Haruhime onto the Kamui Wheel.
"Moo!"
Roy pulled on the reins, and the Thunder Bull with its hoofed hooves stretched its neck and neighed loudly. With a thunderous roar, it pulled on the Divine Wheels, its four hooves shattering the void, transforming into a silver meteor and speeding towards Orario.
The wind howled in their ears, making Ryu and Haruhime's clothes and hair flutter wildly.
As they soared through the sky aboard the divine wheels for the first time, they clung tightly to the edge of the chariot, their faces a mixture of surprise and disbelief, their eyes sparkling as they were completely immersed in the awe-inspiring experience of flight.
Given her close relationship with the Ganesha Familia, Ryu had naturally ridden in dragons trained by them.
However, in terms of speed, stability, and comfort, Shenwei wheels are clearly superior.
They will be able to return to Orario in less than ten days.
The Flying Hoof Thunder Bull was put into autonomous driving, while Roy, Ryu, and Haruhime studied the newly awakened magic.
The chariot wasn't very spacious, but it was a bit crowded for three people to play cards, though they could still fit.
First is Ryu's Astraea Memoirs: Star Memories. Roy held her little hand and used "Elven Royal Family" to learn it, but it wasn't very useful.
"A blank!" Roy shook his head.
Roy's use of Astrea's Memoirs only summoned the Star Barrier during the incantation; he could not obtain the magic of Alexandra Rofer and others.
"This is magic that belongs to you alone." Roy looked at Ryu. The principle is roughly the same as "memory manifestation," requiring strong emotions and deep memories.
Roy has no memories of Alexandra and the others, nor any deeply ingrained emotional ties.
"Um!"
Although the magic couldn't enhance Roy's combat power, it made Ryu feel a warm current surge into her heart. She gently pressed her small hand to her chest, where she treasured the memories she had spent with Alisha, Kaguya, and the others—irreplaceable treasures in her life.
Roy also smiled.
The magic he currently possesses, combined with his fairy transformation, is already close to "omnipotent," and he doesn't necessarily need the magic of Alexandra Rofer and others.
"Elven Kingship" allows you to learn elven magic, while "Starry Memories" is not limited by race and has a higher potential, but requires you to build a strong bond with your familiar companions.
Astraea's Memoirs: Starry Memories also offers him another possibility.
Then comes Haruhime's Myriad Treasure Hammer - Ninefold.
In theory, this spell can raise the level of up to nine people by one, but it consumes an enormous amount of mental energy.
Currently, if Haruhime casts this spell on more than three people, she will become exhausted and unconscious. However, in actual combat, she can precisely control the spell, preserving only the minimum mental energy needed to maintain consciousness. After drinking a mental recovery potion, she can use the spell again.
After most of the day of research, Roy and his two companions finally figured out the two new spells.
When they return to Orario, the strength of the Astrea Familia will undergo a dramatic transformation.
The two of them have reached level 7!
Liu Ning gazed at the scenery below, now reduced to black dots, her sky-blue eyes shimmering with a faint light, her thoughts a jumbled mess. Her cheeks flushed crimson one moment, then flushed shyly the next, as if a silent debate was raging within her.
Finally, as if she had made up her mind, she murmured almost involuntarily, "Roy, actually—if it's on my way, I'd like to go home and visit."
Her request was barely audible, almost a whisper; if Roy hadn't possessed LV.5 level hearing, he would have had little chance of catching this faint sound.
Roy was taken aback at first, then his eyes lit up, and he replied loudly and decisively, "No problem!"
"Moo!"
As if sensing its master's high spirits, the Thunder Ox with Flying Hoof let out a triumphant neigh, and lightning shot out from under its four hooves as it suddenly quickened its pace.
The tank sped along, and Roy and his group traversed mountains and wilderness, covering thousands of kilometers.
At the horizon, the silhouette of a towering tree stood majestically, its trunk so thick that Roy estimated it would take hundreds of people to encircle it.
The Great Sacred Tree, an essential element of the Elf's Homeland!
Out of respect for Ryu's homeland, which is this elven territory, Roy gently pulled on the reins, steer the Thunder Bull with its hooves down to the ground.
Otherwise, it would be somewhat offensive.
"Go."
Roy gently patted the side of the Thunder Bull's neck.
This powerful and intelligent divine beast understood, let out a low growl, its four hooves thundered, and it soared into the air, transforming into a silver lightning bolt, returning to a height of ten thousand meters above the clouds, where it awaited its next summons.
Seeing this, Ryu and Haruhime were amazed. It was truly amazing that Roy could find such an obedient monster.
Following the winding forest path, Roy and his group headed towards the elven village not far away.
"So beautiful!"
Their gazes were captivated by the scenery along the way: towering ancient trees, lush and verdant, small animals gracefully appearing and disappearing in the woods, the entire forest filled with an ancient and tranquil beauty.
Liu walked at the front, leading the way for the two, a hint of nostalgia for her hometown flashing deep in her eyes.
Roy and Chunji, who were entering the Elf Realm for the first time, looked around with curiosity. Its magnificent natural scenery was in no way inferior to the lakes of the water spirits.
Liu softly recounted the amusing anecdotes from her childhood.
Although she didn't love this homeland, in those dull years, she still managed to find a glimmer of light for herself, like panning for gold in the sand.
Looking back now, across the passage of time, these fleeting joys are instead gilded with a hazy golden light in the depths of memory, becoming all the more warm and precious.
Roy and Haruhime listened intently to the elven girl's story, like the most devoted audience.
Roy's occasional well-timed joke, or Haruhime's sly wink, would make Ryu blush, adding a touch of vividness to the memory.
"Halt! Who goes there?!"
Just as they approached the village, a sharp shout came from ahead, interrupting their conversation.
The group looked over at the sound and frowned.
At the village entrance, two handsome male elves, with faces as cold as frost, drew their bows and nocked arrows. The silver arrowheads reflected a dangerous glint in the sunlight as they steadily aimed at them, their chilling hostility unmistakable.
"It's me, Ryu!" Ryu stepped forward and called out.
"Ryu?"
The two male elves exchanged a glance, muttering the name, a hint of confusion flashing across their faces.
Eleven-year-old Ryu left her hometown for Orario, and seven years have passed since then. It's normal that the young gatekeeper doesn't recognize her.
"Elves, step forward! That human and the fox-man, get out of the way!" a male elf shouted.
A hint of displeasure flashed in Roy's eyes. Without comparison, there would be no difference. The enthusiasm of the fairies and the indifference and wariness of the elves formed a stark contrast.
An elf has already entered the village to deliver the news.
Before long, a large number of elven warriors, clad in light armor and wielding sharp blades, appeared silently and swiftly. Their movements were characterized by a cold, unspoken understanding, and they surrounded Roy and his group in a well-trained formation.
Dozens of archers appeared in the distance, aiming at Roy and Haruhime, and even Ryu.
Roy subtly protected Chunji behind him.
Clearly, many elves recognized Ryu and looked surprised, but then their eyes turned to disgust.
At this moment, a tall and upright male elf stepped out from the crowd. He possessed the handsomeness of an elf and the masculine strength and vigor of a man, and his steps were steady.
His imposing and authoritative aura, even without anger, is extraordinary.
His gaze swept over Roy and his group, locking onto Ryu. Like the other elves, a hint of surprise flashed in his sharp, hawk-like eyes, which was then replaced by undisguised disgust and anger.
"Lyu Li Ang?"
His voice was cold and hard, filled with merciless sarcasm, "After being an adventurer out there for so long, so filthy, how dare you come back here?"
After the Great War of Resistance against Japan, "Hurricane" Ryu Leon became a hero of Orario, and his name spread throughout the world.
Subsequently, under Roy's leadership, the Astrea Familia rose to prominence, and Ryu, who reached LV.6, became famous throughout the world, known to all.
Ryu's fame spread far and wide, naturally reaching his distant hometown—the village of Miruya.
However, the elves did not take pride in this; instead, they regarded it as a disgrace to their race. In their eyes, elves were pure, noble, glorious, and proud! Ryu's willingness to degenerate and become an adventurer who fought bloody battles with monsters undoubtedly tarnished the glory of the elves!
Ryu seemed to have known this all along, her expression calm. "I've only come back to pay homage to the Great Sacred Tree. I'll leave immediately and won't disturb your lives."
"To visit a shrine?"
This word plunged the elves into a brief silence, their astonished gazes darting around before finally focusing on Roy.
Facing countless scrutinizing gazes, Roy smiled, held his head high, and looked proud!
"We're all family, why can't we talk this out?" Roy tried to smooth things over with a smile, but was interrupted sharply by the elf opposite him.
"Ugly humans, stay away from us!"
The male elf's gaze was sharp as a knife, and his voice was even colder and more stern than before, filled with undisguised contempt, as he charged straight at Roy.
"And that fox spirit is not allowed to come near. She reeks of fox stench; she's disgusting and vile!"
The elves even drew their bows and arrows, ready to fire.
Hearing the elves' harsh curses, Haruhime was deeply affected, and her fox ears and tail drooped limply.
"Don't worry, you're very beautiful."
Roy gently patted her head to comfort her, then turned his gaze to the village entrance. The last trace of a smile had faded from his face, and his eyes were so calm it was unsettling.
For Ryu's sake, Roy tolerated and yielded to these arrogant elves again and again, but they took advantage of his kindness. Did they really think he had no temper?
In Orario, who would dare speak to him like that? Go check out the tens of thousands of corpses in the man-made labyrinth first!
Ryu wasn't surprised by this.
She was born in this elven village, into a clan that had guarded the Great Sacred Tree for generations. Having lived there for many years, she knew better than anyone the elven's deep-seated arrogance. They considered themselves perfect creations, viewing other races as ugly and filthy, both outwardly and inwardly.
Even after the gods descended, some elves—especially those from Ryu's home village of Miluya—still disdained to interact with the outside world. The elves there possessed an unparalleled level of pride among elves.
Liu, however, was an anomaly among the tribe.
From a young age, she felt ashamed and desperate because of the unfounded arrogance of her clan, and felt that this was a stain on the word "self-respect". This deepening pain made her doubt her own bloodline.
Eleven-year-old Ryu could no longer bear it.
On a quiet night, she resolutely fled the secret realm that had nurtured her yet suffocated her, embarking on a difficult journey to Orario.
Liu never expected that after so many years, her desire to return and pay homage to the Great Sacred Tree would be met with such fierce opposition and harsh words from her clansmen.
"Leave it to me!"
Roy stepped forward and, under the blood-red gazes of the many elves, took Liu's soft, boneless hand in his.
Liu's cheeks flushed slightly, and she lowered her head, like a well-behaved little wife, retreating behind Roy.
"snort!"
Roy's gaze fell on the elves, a cold smile playing on his lips. "Damn it, you've gone too far!"
Elven Kingship: This skill has two special effects: learning all elven magic and suppressing the body and soul of elven beings!
Roy had always used the effect of learning magic and had never used a second effect before. Today, however, he was determined to take action against these arrogant elves.
