I Was The Hero, But I Woke Up as a Phoenix Princess! – Chapter 775

Igert and Lorintha only talked for a while.
Whether it was about the Abyss or “Dark Moon,” Igert had many speculations that he needed to confirm with her, but as a Knight of the Sacred Tree, Lorintha still had to handle the aftermath of the small town, so Igert was not in a hurry.
His brows relaxed slightly, and he put his thoughts aside. Igert turned his head and saw the dwarf warrior Gavin walking over.
“Senior Gavin, are you and your dwarf brothers seriously injured?”
“Heh heh, it’s nothing major. Those dark elf mongrels were indeed tricky, but how can they compare to the Hammer of the Royal Guard of the great King Mude!”
Gavin twisted his warhammer and pounded his chest with his other hand, laughing proudly. “A few warriors were injured, seemingly by the corrupting power of the Abyss, but the elven priests treated them, so it should be fine.”
Ivansuta had called those assassins “Black Blades.”
With less than ten people, and the highest level only at Star, it was not easy for them to last for more than ten minutes under the hands of Gavin and the elven knights, and still cause damage.
Igert nodded and said, “The blades of these assassins were inlaid with the demonic power of the Abyss, and the runes were quite profound. Perhaps they were drawn by the High Priest of the Abyssal Cult and the Dark Elves. However, with the elven Life Priests around, there’s no need to worry.”
The traces of the Abyss were not silent throughout the elven world, and after more than ten years of confronting the Dark Elves, it was natural for the elven priests to have a way to deal with it.
After a brief chat, Gavin raised his head again. “By the way, brother Igert, look at these elves. Several of them have the title of ‘Sacred Tree,’ which is a title no less than that of His Majesty Mude’s personal swordsmen… But what are they doing?”
Igert followed and turned his head, a rich life aura blowing at him.
Several elven knights, including Lorintha, put down their sword shields and large bows, knelt by the shimmering spring water, and assumed a prayer posture, merging their life spiritual power into the spring water.
Quite a few elves were believers of Syrthlis, the Goddess of Life. Even if they were not full-time priests, they could bring the power of life through prayer.
“The residents of this small town were all slaughtered by the Dark Elves. They fused their spiritual power into this spring, which contains the power of moonlight, through a magic array to summon the incarnation of a deity. Miss Lorintha and the others should be purifying the souls and spiritual power within it now.”
Igert thought for a moment and said, “However, I don’t know how they will deal with this spring in the end…”
Each of the elven knights brought by Lorintha had a strength no less than Platinum, undoubtedly an exceptionally elite knight order, but their numbers were not large, less than a hundred.
And it seemed they had no follow-up support troops and did not seem to be preparing for a long-term garrison.
“Hmm, Igert is right…”
Ainsell’s little head suddenly popped out in front of him. Compared to usual, the wood elf girl’s pure white long ears drooped a little listlessly, looking dispirited. “Just now, I asked Sister Lorintha. She said that they had originally only planned to rescue the residents here. This vast area has been occupied by the laws of darkness, and to reclaim it, at least, the power of the Goddess is needed…”
“Sister Lorintha said that after purifying the souls in the spring, they will completely destroy it, at least, it cannot fall into the hands of the Dark Elves again.”
The wood elf said, lifting her face. In her emerald green eyes, a trace of loss was clearly evident.
After all, the Spring of Nodolan flowed with the traces of the Goddess of Life and the Goddess of Silver Moon, and was also a rare symbol in elven history… Even if all the spring water was taken away, without the imprints of the laws of the two goddesses, it would only be a rootless spring.
Igert also showed some regret, but after all, it was the elves’ own choice, and as an outsider, he had no reason to interfere.
At this moment, a clear sword cry sounded, and “End of All” trembled slightly in his hand. Igert was stunned and picked up his long sword.
A burst of brilliant radiance flashed, and the girl’s slender figure revealed her gilded, magnificent long hair cascading behind her. The sword spirit maiden with red dress and golden hair raised her face, cupping her hands in front of her chest, her golden eyes blinked. “Master, these spring waters contain the power of laws. It seems that Verafia-sister can absorb them…”
Igert’s azure eyes lit up.
Back in Muen City, in the Dwarf Kingdom, King Mude had once gifted him nearly a small spring of Sacred Life Spring. At that time, Igert was thinking if he could use the energy contained in the Sacred Spring to hatch Verafia.
However, Verafia was a phoenix egg created by the Creation Divine Spark. To hatch it, besides a huge amount of energy, divine law fragments were also as much as possible.
The Spring of Life was taken from the elven Sacred Spring, but it was only overflowing spring water. Although the spring water was full of the rich life power from the Sacred Tree, the truly contained law fragments were not many.
That’s why Igert had temporarily suppressed his impulse and continued to prepare to go to the elven Sacred Spring.
And this Sacred Spring not only contained the laws of the Goddess of Life and the Goddess of Silver Moon, but when Ivansuta condensed the divine incarnation, he also incorporated the Stone of Grace of the Goddess of Silver Moon.
Igert looked, and the wood elf’s eyes, which had been quite depressed moments ago, also showed a hint of surprise. “Oh right, I can also help Miss Verafia!”
She quickly turned her head. “Hmm, Igert… I’ll go tell Sister Lorintha!”
After saying that, the wood elf girl hurriedly turned and ran towards Lorintha not far away.
…
Calling Ophi, Igert followed the wood elf girl’s figure to the spring, and it seemed that the purification of souls had already ended. Ainsell stood beside Lorintha, tilting her head and recounting.
The Sacred Tree Knight’s emerald green hair gently danced in the wind. Listening to the girl’s narration, surprise gradually appeared on Lorintha’s face. Her emerald green eyes lifted and fell on Igert who was approaching:
“Ainsell told me that Mr. Igert intends to borrow this Sacred Spring… for the purpose of hatching a ‘phoenix egg’?”
“She is a girl who is very important to me. Miss Lorintha, I wonder if you could lend me this spring?” he requested. Igert suddenly felt a trace of unease in his heart.
“Tsk. Little Ainsell told me. I think Miss Verafia, whom Mr. Igert loves, must be a beautiful and kind girl.”
Lorintha smiled, covering her mouth with her slender jade finger. Her gaze at the young man flickered with a hint of teasing and curiosity, and she then said,
“Moreover, Miss Verafia is also Little Ainsell’s friend. If we can help her, it would be our honor… I believe the Goddess would also be happy to see this.”
