After occupying the north, the orcs were doing more damage to the environment in order to obtain more resources and materials.
The queen of Silverymoon had a great relationship with druids, which was why they began reminiscing about the time when she had been in power. It was understandable why they were hard at work here.
“Eye of the North… Protector of nature, as well as a paladin who is comparable to the judge from before…”
Leylin estimated the power they had.
With these the four of them, it was impossible to turn the orc empire upside down, but it was possible to affect the successes or failures of a few campaigns!
In addition, they were only the first batch that had arrived. The true trump cards were still hidden.
‘What a pity… Even so, it’s not possible to sway the orcs’ power in the north. At the most, we can crack their foundations as a kingdom, but unless all the human gods band together, it’s impossible to chase them out and restore our power. However, is that plausible?’
While having all sorts of complicated emotions inside, Leylin walked out of the church and into Yorkshire, where it was now night.
While it was late, this place was still rather boisterous. From the dazzling rays from various churches, there were also large oil lamps in front of shops. Some citizens strolled around after dinner, melodious holy songs and prayers sounding in the background. It was leisurely and relaxing.
“But… seems like the effects from the refugees of the north are yet to disappear…”
Leylin found that there was a very high frequency of patrolling, as well as occasional thievery, and he could not help but shake his head.
The surge of residents of the north was the greatest challenge for security. The huge increase in population, as well as entrance of nobility from the north, had increased the price of daily necessities and resulted in many citizens unable to voice their unhappiness.
Actually, the people of Yorkshire did not think well of these refugees. All believed that they had not only stolen their jobs, but were also a huge burden.
Perhaps they knew of a legend’s senses and that sending people to monitor him would be useless unless a legendary thief or assassin were dispatched. Leylin strolled around and found that there were no people following him nor any magic for that.
“Of course, perhaps they have assured themselves that with the gods support, I wouldn’t be able to do anything against them…”
Leylin shook his head and could not help but laugh, before then turned into a dimly lit alley.
Streams of dark red fog appeared by him, concealing his original aura. It was as if he had turned into a whole other person.
The people around him were all in a flurry, and none discovered this abnormality.
“With dreamforce concealing me, anything monitoring me will be rendered useless…”
Leylin stepped out of the alley that had an illusion hidden within and, as his figure flashed a few times, disappeared from the road.
With Leylin’s legendary strength as well as boost from the illusions of dreamforce, it was just too easy to prevent any spying on him.
Light fluctuated, and the next time Leylin appeared, he had arrived in a secret room.
The black fog in the surroundings seemed to be like a huge beast that devoured everything. There was only a yellow light in the centre that emitted bright rays.
A few figures with powerful auras were dressed in black robes, waiting by the light.
“You’re early…”
One of the black-robed people spoke to Leylin in a crisp, female voice.
“I never thought you’d have arrangements here in Yorkshire too…”
Leylin watched the female wizard before him. Under the light, she had removed her disguise and revealed her original appearance. This was the legendary wizard he had just seen, Lillian!
“Why did you transmit a message to me right before leaving… and there’s these people…”
Leylin looked suspicious.
While this legendary wizard had looked normal during the meeting before, she had suddenly sent him an address at the end, wanting him to come here alone. There were also other powerful beings, and every one of them was a legend.
A gathering like this was definitely not for some sort of banquet.
“I’ve already set up multiple isolating spell formations. Even if its a god, none can discover our conversation unless their true body were to descend.”
Lillian spoke with a smile, eyes seeming to burn, “Do you still not know the reason why we legends have gathered?”
What great plans could there be when a group of legends had sneakily gathered?
If profits were the largest priority, then what could attract these exemplary beings would be ascension to godhood.
Leylin knew this full well and smiled, “Well then, you haven’t introduced me to them yet…”
“Keke… Is a little brat who just entered our domain capable of plotting with us?”
At this moment, a black-robed person standing next to Lilian snickered, sounding like an ghostly owl in the night, causing hair to stand on end.
Boom!
A tremendous and cold deathly aura with great pressure attacked Leylin in the next instant, like raging waves. There were even cries from maligned souls as well as powerful negative energy, corrosive auras.
The rest of the black-robed beings did not move as they watched on with smiles.
“Is this a probe? As expected, in circles like this in the dark, power is everything!”
With a thought, Leylin’s body did not move and allowed the deathly aura to go past him. Many undulations rippled on the wall behind him, but he was completely unharmed.
“What a dense deathly aura… And you are?”
Leylin then smiled at the stunned black-robed person and asked.
“You’re capable!” He declared, but did not make any more movements. Evidently, he found Leylin worthy.
Chapter 981 – Malar
Malar
“This is the necromancer, Mallister! He is a powerful death wizard who gained fame 1200 years ago, and has already entered the ranks of a high-ranked legend. It’s even said that he’s on equal grounds with the lich, Ilyo…”
Lilian introduced him to Leylin, looking astonished, “While that was a slight probe, Wizard Leylin being able to take on the attack so easily means he must have quite a number of secrets…”
“Alright! Since everyone’s here, let’s begin.”
Mallister urged, sounding enthusiastic. The great desire in his tone shocked Leylin slightly.
As Leylin was right now, he had become more sensitive to emotional force. From the excitement of this old wizard coupled with the situation in the north, it was evident that they had huge plans.
“The reason we’re gathered here is obviously for the eternity that gods have…”
Lilian spoke softly, sounding just as eager.
Even if they were necromancers, Legends like them who did not turn into liches or spirits could only live for at most a few thousand years. This was a stark difference from the mighty gods in the skies.
As legends, they felt that they did not have any less talent or invest less effort than the gods did. The only thing they lost out in was that they were born too late, which meant they had no opportunities by then.
In this situation, which legend would feel content with staring at the gods up high and in eternal glory?
Basically every single one of them had the ambition to ascend and become a god!
While there were agreements between the legends on the continent as well as rules of churches or organisations, private gatherings like these still happened.
After all, godly roles and positions were all accounted for. To successfully become a god, one or perhaps even a few had to be pulled down!
Even if many legends were to gather, they could at most only beat up an avatar. The true forms of gods in their godly realms were practically invincible.
Hence, it was necessary to wait for a battle between gods! Only when they began attacking each other did the legends have a single chance at obtaining divinity, godspark or even a godly role!
The legends all knew of this possibility, which was why they had gathered.
“I’m sure all of you know the situation with the north. The Weave Goddess and God of Justice have made a deal, so the decision to support Queen Alustriel in regaining her kingdom won’t change. There’ll definitely be a battle against the orc gods. Based on my intel, other human gods aren’t going to do much about this…”
Lilian now looked extremely zealous and ready to make a gamble, “The Weave Goddess and God of Justice are greater gods, while the orc god only has a greater god, Gruumsh. However, he’s supported by intermediate and lesser gods. The battle with the two greater gods will soon arrive, which will be an opportunity for us…”
Leylin finally knew why the legends had gathered here. They were counting on the gods getting injured in battle, which would give them the opportunity to obtain divinity or a divine spark.
