If I make a move now, take back the Scepter of Life, and then teleport all the believers of despair here to my kingdom to silence them …
A thought flashed through Eve's mind.
Nidhogg wasn't here.
Not only that, he didn't even leave his own statue or guardian here to protect this place!
And this … made Eve's hands itch.
However, just as she was wondering if she should do something, she suddenly calmed down.
"No … that's not right. Although I don't know what Nidhogg is planning, he definitely won't let his guard down. After all … this is a true god-level artifact! "
Thinking of this, Eve carefully observed her surroundings from the corner of her eye.
And this time, she finally found something wrong.
"It's those pillars. Those pillars … form a defensive divine spell magic array!"
Looking at the pillars carved with Megalosaurus, Eve frowned slightly.
This was a little troublesome …
Even though the most powerful attack she could unleash would definitely be able to break through this formation, it was only a matter of time before the formation was destroyed.
But in that case, her existence would definitely be exposed.
This kind of magic array always had some kind of connection with the person who set it up. If Eve broke it with brute force, the other party would definitely be aware of her existence.
And Nidhogg and the World Tree were sworn enemies. If he knew about her revival and she didn't kill him immediately, the entire crystal wall system would probably know about the revival of the World Tree.
If that was the case, it would be troublesome.
Thinking of this, Eve carefully observed these pillars again. At the same time, she combined the information about large-scale magic arrays in the World Tree's inheritance and tried to find its flaws …
Unfortunately, other than breaking it with brute force, Eve didn't have any good methods.
"Breaking it with brute force won't work … If I do that, I'll definitely have to use my own divine power. And once I use my divine power, the other party is likely to be aware of my existence through the connection with the magic array.
"Unless … when I'm destroying the magic array, there's an even stronger divine power that creates interference in the surroundings. This way, I'll be able to conceal my own existence."
Thinking of this, Eve felt that it was a little troublesome.
She sighed softly and turned her gaze to the giant cocoons.
She could sense that although the elves' auras were weak, they were still alive.
Unfortunately … saving these elves and obtaining the Scepter of Life were almost bound together.
"Perhaps … I should think of a way to lure Nidhogg out and see if I can use the Withering Heart to kill him?"
Eve's thoughts moved.
However, she quickly rejected this idea.
"No … It's very difficult to lure out the true body of a mythical being, especially an old monster like Nidhogg who has lived for who knows how long."
Mythological existences cherished their lives. True Gods, Ancient Gods, and even Evil Gods cherished their lives.
Unless it was absolutely necessary, they would protect their true bodies well.
Could it be that … the only thing left to do was to lie low and quietly wait for an opportunity?
Eve then turned to the hundreds of sleeping elves with a dark expression.
These were all potential believers of hers!
Besides, those who could be chosen by Nidhogg were probably the best among the elves.
If they waited any longer, who knew how many more would die …
At this point, Eve was a hundred percent sure that this Border Earl had something going on with Nidhogg.
Perhaps … Nidhogg had been harming the elves all these years.
As for the so-called Elven Auction … it was probably just a cover.
Even the elves in the black market and the elves in the Oak Hand might have been purposely placed there by the other party. The purpose was to attract more elves to come and save them.
Before Selena left, Eve had communicated with the other party using the identity of Zero, a god's chosen one, and found out that the elves had done similar things many times.
Unfortunately, the other party did not expect to meet a player this time.
At this point, Eve could almost conclude that —
At this moment, the other party probably knew about the existence of the Black Dragon and a large number of "elves".
After all, the Border Earl's butler, Anders, had experienced the battle with the Crocodile Mercenary Group.
If that was the case …
"I'm afraid that the other party will send forces to the Black Dragon Castle in the near future!"
Eve's eyes flashed.
A large number of elves, for Nidhogg who wanted to repair the Scepter of Life, was probably quite attractive!
But soon, she felt that it did not make much sense.
So what?
Even if the other party attacked the Black Dragon Castle, they could just use the Border Earl's troops, and Nidhogg could still hide behind the scenes …
Or should they continue to wait and ambush the Church of Despair to find an opportunity?
Eve was not willing to give up.
"Sigh … If only Hella could help. She doesn't have to do anything else. Even if she casually throws a large-scale divine spell at Maple Leaf City to disturb the other party, I will have a way to destroy the magic circle here and take the Scepter of Life and these elves away."
Eve sighed regretfully.
However, at this moment, an idea suddenly flashed in her mind.
"Hmm?"
"No …"
"Hella can't help, but … I can 'invite' someone else to help!"
Eve's spirits lifted as she thought of a way to kill several birds with one stone.
If she remembered correctly … Maple Leaf City also had a temple of the Church of Eternity.
And the Lord of Eternity was the main god of the human gods.
Although he was the enemy of the World Tree, he was also a true god who hated evil gods.
Thinking of this, Eve's mouth twitched.
"Sigh … My predecessor's unfilial son, let me, the successor, teach him a lesson."
With a thought, the players who were still in Maple Leaf City received a new system message one after another …
