Assequero.
Before returning to the Realm of Demons, Josiah visited the Priestly Temple in Assequero.
The High Elves had the ability to cure the infection caused by the Grey Fog, and Josiah had decided to attack Assequero for this purpose.
"These are the effects left behind by that monster."
Elder Enya received Josiah as the Chief Priestess of the High Elves. She brought Josiah to the center of the Priestly Temple.
"Child of the Forest, can you stretch out your hand?"
Elder Enya turned around and stretched out her hand to Josiah.
Josiah glanced at Hiri behind him. She was still holding an apple in her hand and nibbling on it. Her cheeks were puffed up like a hamster's.
"What do you want me to do … read your palm?"
Josiah directly stretched out his hand. Elder Enya looked at Josiah's palm for a long time, as if trying to read his palm.
"Palm reading? I don't know what Child of the Forest you are referring to, but the magic in your body is a little restless. "
Elder Enya chanted a series of incantations that Josiah could not understand. At the same time, her fingertips moved across Josiah's palm. One after another, silver-white inscriptions followed the movement of her fingertips and sank into Josiah's palm.
Ciri had been watching this Elder En Ya warily from the side, purely to prevent her from suddenly making any moves to attack.
After Elder Enya finished writing the last inscription, a dark gray fog overflowed from Josiah's body.
"This is the sin that your race bears, Child of the Forest."
Elder Enya looked at the gray fog floating in the air and used spatial magic to completely devour it in disgust.
"Sin?" Josiah held his hand and did not feel any discomfort. He then asked tentatively, "Can you tell me … what did my ancestors … do in Assequero?"
Josiah's question was undoubtedly a taboo, and Elder En Ya's expression froze for a long time.
"Do you humans like to touch other people's sensitive parts so much?" Elder En Ya asked.
"Please pay attention to the pride of the High Elf Chief Priest!"
Josh didn't quite understand what was going on in the head of this' old woman '. She was a sanctimonious elven elder just a second ago, but in the next second, she seemed to be spewing some shocking words out of her mouth.
"They wish to steal that monster's power," Elder En Ya said in a low voice.
"Then they succeeded."
Josiah glanced at the gray magic power on his hand. This was the unique magic power of the Chaos Demons.
"We succeeded, at the cost of the blood and souls of our clansmen." Elder En Ya seemed to be trying hard to control her anger. "So, Child of the Forest, do you now understand why we hate the blasphemers so much?"
"More or less, but you can't do anything about it now, right?" Josiah said to Elder En Ya with a smile.
No matter how much the high elves hated Josiah's race, it was an indisputable fact that Josiah had become their savior. If their race wanted to continue, they needed Josiah's help.
"… You're right. This feeling of betraying our ancestors and having to serve our former enemy is not a good feeling, but I have to do it."
Elder En Ya's voice seemed to be suppressing something.
"Her tone sounds a little … excited?" Hiri whispered to Josiah.
"Ahem … I need a few priests to return to the Underworld with me. In the Underworld, the disease brought about by the Grey Fog is even more serious," Josiah said.
"Are you finally saying something about being a slave?"
Elder En Ya's face showed a somewhat humiliated expression.
"Wait a minute, this is just a very ordinary invitation."
Josiah glanced around the priest temple. Some young elven priests were secretly watching them.
"I will go with you. After all, this is the fate of the high elves."
Elder En Ya decided to personally offer herself.
"I'm sorry, I think it's better to change to another priest."
Josiah directly waved his hand and rejected this' old woman's' offer.
"Are you still going to extend your evil claws to those children?"
Elder En Ya glanced at the young elven priests who were secretly watching them. After noticing Elder En Ya's gaze, they hesitated for a moment and gradually walked out from the corner.
"Well, Elder En Ya, I think it's very necessary for you to learn the common language, especially when it comes to modifiers."
Josiah kept feeling that from this elder's description, he had already become an inhumane slave master.
"Granny En Ya! I want to go to the Realm of Demons! "
As the surrounding atmosphere was gradually spreading, Ahr's voice sounded in the temple. At this moment, Ahr's energetic voice sounded like a little angel to Josiah.
"Ahr!" En Ya interrupted Ahr with a stern voice.
After hearing this voice, Ahr immediately hid behind Josiah.
"Elder En Ya … I've already reminded her."
Zhiye ran in from the other side of the temple and said with a slightly apologetic tone.
"Ahr … What do you want to do in the Realm of Demons?" Josiah asked this question on behalf of Elder En Ya.
"To see Mentor Fuya!"
Ahr immediately raised his hand and said loudly.
With her reminder, Josiah remembered that Ahr had been under Fuya's tutelage a long time ago, although as a mentor, Fuya had never expressed anything.
"I will be responsible for her safety, I swear in the name of the Third Prince of the Realm of Demons." Josiah looked at Elder En Ya's worried expression and said.
"I'll go with you."
Elder En Ya pondered for a moment and made this decision.
"Elder!"
After hearing Elder En Ya's decision, the other young Elven Priests immediately came to the center of the temple.
"Give us some time to prepare."
Elder En Ya motioned for the other Elven Priests to calm down, and then looked at Josiah with an expression as if she was about to sacrifice herself.
"Alright, I'll wait for you at the Hearthstone Tavern in the Forgotten Land. I suggest that you treat it as a vacation."
Josiah felt that the atmosphere of the entire Priest Temple had become a kind of … parting between life and death.
However, Josiah did not intend to continue comforting her, and directly left the Priest Temple with Hiri to prepare for the next trip to the Realm of Demons.
"I keep feeling that those High Elves are planning something."
Ciri turned around and glanced at the Priest Temple. This temple was beneath the massive roots of the World Tree.
On the other side of the Priest Temple was an even more empty space, which looked like the nest of some kind of huge creature, but it seemed that the nest had not been visited for a long time.
"It's okay … As long as it's within the range of the World Tree's surveillance, no matter what they do, I'll know immediately."
