The answer to how many butterflies can breed in a forest is hundreds of millions.

A team that went out to practice stood on a high hill, watching the storm swept away by magic butterflies in the distance. They hovered and fluttered, flapping their wings with a rumble, corroding the surrounding trees to ash. The sky filled with highly poisonous smog drifted out, turning dozens of kilometers into a place of death.

However, in the center of the dead land, there is a circular light sphere from beginning to end. It has not expanded by half, nor has it been cut by half, moving forward at a gentle speed. The magic butterfly whistled towards it and turned into dust. The magical energy and poison on their bodies were purified, and the light spots turned into gold powder and disappeared.

When the ball of light went farther and farther away, and also led away the swarms of magic butterflies, the team hiding on the high hill breathed a sigh of relief.

"Look! God of Light is above, I can't believe my own eyes!" The team's guide pointed downwards and exclaimed. Everyone squeezed over to take a look, and they were all dumbfounded.

I saw a trace of emerald green left in the place where the convoy passed by, which is the color of the recovery of vegetation, full of vitality. This scene was not surprising a few hundred years ago, but now that the demonic energy is raging, this green color that runs through the entire piece of darkness looks like a miracle.

"My God, who is that Priest of Light? He is too powerful!" Everyone speculated.

"I think this person should be the priest Joshua of the Sajaya Empire. Have you heard that the God of Light personally held a baptism ceremony for him. When he walked out of the holy pool, he held a unique scepter in his hand. He is still wearing the robe of God. He is the messenger of God the Father in the mortal world." said the well-informed guide.

"Hurry up, hurry up and catch up with that team!" The captain ordered without hesitation, a group of people rushed down the hill and chased along the green passage, but they didn't dare to chase too close, because there were still countless magic butterflies surrounding them. The golden barrier is flying.

They chased for a day and a night, and the enchantment supported it for a day and a night, which shows how unfathomable this priest of light has. This further verifies the rumor that sounds extremely unbelievable.

Bowen's team followed Zhou Yunsheng's carriage, keeping quiet for more than 20 hours. They silently observed the boy's every move, and the more they watched, the more frightened and suspicious they became.

He's not at all a despicable, jealous little guy like Boa Bright says. On the contrary, he is quiet and peaceful, gentle and amiable, although occasionally indifferent, but has a more devout faith than anyone else, and spends a lot of time in prayer every day.

The light barrier he supported was indestructible, and it was continuously hit by hundreds of millions of magic butterflies for so long, but there was no damage at all. Where the enchantment covered, the grass sprouted, the flowers bloomed, the trees were green and tall, leaving an invisible green passage behind them.

A surging vitality spreads in the air, making the elves and orcs who are close to nature feel extremely comfortable. Now, they don't hate Joshua priest at all, and even begin to doubt Boer.

As long as there is light, the magic butterflies will never disperse, unless they are all extinguished in the flames of light. They lingered for a long time, but the team was tired from walking and had to find a flat open space to rest for a while.

Zhou Yun Sheng didn't feel tired. On the contrary, it was just as easy for him to support a light barrier. He could judge from the surprised expressions of High Priest Berwen and the Pope that his strength should be far above them, that is to say, Joshua is now the most powerful priest in the continent, not one of them.

Only at this time can he truly thank Nao Cansheng for his stupid actions. If it weren't for his shameless hooking up with the God of Light, he would never be able to walk sideways on the mainland now.

He walked under a tree, and before he was seated, a warrior spread an ornate cushion on the ground, so as not to stain his white priestly robes.

He smiled and thanked him, and when he turned his face, he saw a thick magic vine hanging down from the treetops. Its wiggly vines have giant flower buds that open and close, revealing sharp teeth, and thick black venom flowing from the gaps. It is the most common and terrifying magical plant in the forest. As long as one appears, it indicates that there is still an overwhelming one around.

High Priest Berwyn's expression changed greatly. You know, Joshua alone supported the enchantment for dozens of hours. If the magic butterfly and the magic vine attack together, there will be a big accident.

He and several other priests of light immediately took out their scepters and wanted to inject the power of light into the enchantment, but saw that priest Joshua just shook his fingers lightly, and bounced a small golden spark into the huge magic vine. in buds.

With a loud bang, Mars rose into a sea of ​​fire in the blink of an eye, burning the countless vines hidden in the treetops to nothing. Seeing the dazzling fire, the magic butterfly rushed in quickly.

A few minutes later, countless golden powders fell from the sky, but the green trees and grasses that had been expelled by divine power were not injured in the slightest. They shuddered in the gold powder, and the elves couldn't help but smile with their joy.

The adventurer team that arrived in a hurry saw such a beautiful scene. They stretched out their hands, trying to catch the golden powder in the sky, but found that they turned into light spots and disappeared in the air, leaving only a slight warm feeling.

Brightness, warmth, hope, the races living on the mainland have not felt it for hundreds of years. They were so excited that they wanted to cry, but they tried their best to hold it back.

"Is there the priest Joshua in front? We are an adventurer team from the Grand Duchy of Danados. We want to escort the priest through the forest of elves. I wonder if we have this honor?" When he said this, the captain's cheeks were red. , heartbroken. If it was replaced by another priest of light, it would naturally need the protection of a powerful warrior or mage, but when it was replaced by priest Joshua, it would not be a problem for him to travel across the entire continent by himself.

He knew that others must be mocking him for being thick-skinned and trying to take advantage. But he admired Joshua too much, and if he could see his demeanor, he would have no regrets in death.

"Please come in. In a continent where demonic energy is raging, all living beings should watch and help each other. Thank you for your generosity and selflessness." It was prayer time, and Zhou Yun Sheng had a particularly good temper.

Everyone in the adventure team couldn't help shaking their ears. This voice is really good, I am afraid that even the singing of the Elf King is like this. Because the light film blocked their sight, they couldn't see Joshua Priest's appearance, but they were already intoxicated just by hearing the sound.

Humans are still like this, not to mention the elves who have very serious voice control and facial control attributes. Bowen is a high priest, with excellent stopping power, only the ears are red and the hair is standing on end, but there is no other more shameful physiological reaction, but a few juniors are dizzy, and they can't even walk steadily, and they seem to be random. He sat down, but he had to choose the position closest to priest Joshua, and he almost got into a fight.

They seem to have forgotten who shot them into a sieve with a light arrow a few days ago.

The adventurer team tried to touch the barrier, and found that it accepted them with a slight shake, and the warm feeling spread from the fingertips to the bottom of the heart. They resisted their excitement and walked in. When they saw the young man sitting under the tree, they only felt that the bard's praise for him was not even one ten thousandth of his own.

He is like a beam of light, illuminating everything around him. You only know that he is beautiful, but you cannot find any words to describe him. The adventurer team immediately bent over, greeted him with the highest courtesy of Danados, and did not dare to take a second glance after a quick glance.

The young man smiled and waved his hand, and then proceeded to carve the puppet in his hand.

The air in the enchantment is very fresh, with the astringency of grass, the fragrance of flowers, and the sweetness of ripe fruit. An elf picked a few wild fruits, wrapped them in leaves, and placed them gently beside Joshua Priest. Because they almost hurt him before, they didn't dare to talk to him at all, even if they were so anxious.

The Pope is the most powerful person on the continent. His head portrait has been rubbed in all the temples, and even civilians have posted his portrait in their homes in order to expel demons. Every few years, he travels around the world to spread the gospel, and few people on the mainland don't know him.

The adventurer team naturally recognized his identity very quickly. If they had knelt down in fear and sincerity, they just nodded and called out, "His Majesty the Pope," with a tone of contempt.

The story of Pope and Bo'er being punished and embarrassed by the God of Light has long been spread among the human race, and only the elves and the orcs who were huddled in the depths of the forest were unaware of it. What the darling of the gods, the most powerful priest of light in the future, he would laugh out loud when he said it.

Berwyn found the attitude of these humans to old friends problematic. These days, the doubts in his heart are getting heavier and heavier. Boa and Herman have repeatedly suggested that Joshua killed them in despicable ways in order to compete for the position of bishop, but after seeing Joshua's power, Berwin expressed extreme doubts about this statement.

Not to mention the position of a bishop, if Joshua is willing, he is also qualified to sit on the seat of the pope. Could it be that Herman and Boa felt threatened by Joshua and intended against him? Joshua said that they had offended God the Father and that God had taken back the power of light. Is this true?

If so, the elves and orcs who took in Boa and Herman would probably be angered by the father.

Berwin was very uneasy, and took the Pope aside to treat his wounds, and cast a sleep spell on the Pope mixed with the healing spell. Another few days passed, and the last bit of light in the Pope's body disappeared without a trace. He is just an ordinary person now, so he fell asleep without noticing.

Bowen immediately held his wrist and input a trace of light power along the meridians, and was stunned to find that this body had no light attribute at all.

This is his old friend. No one knows better than Bowen how powerful and dazzling he was. It can turn a demigod into a mortal overnight, which no one can do except God the Father. Herman was indeed rejected by the Father, so what about BoA?

Bowen's sensitive nerves throbbed uncontrollably.

He let go of his friend's wrist and walked to the fire as usual and sat down. Joshua was tired, curled up on the grass and slept soundly, and a mage was putting a thin blanket over him. But even if he fell asleep, he still relies on his instinct to support the light barrier. His power is undeniable.

Bowen looked back with a complicated expression. He still remembers Boa Brandt wearing a pure white holy robe, standing under the mother tree, and using the pure power of light to bring the mother tree back to life. When he retracted his hand, a ripe elf fruit fell into his palm and split in half, and a thumb-sized elf flapped its wings and flew out, kissing his pale cheek. It was the first baby born in the elves in the past thousand years.

At that time, he was so holy and lovely, gentle and kind, and brought hope to the desperate elves. How could he be rejected by God the Father? What exactly did he do?

Bowen felt very uncomfortable, his brows furrowed tightly.

The adventurer team of the Grand Duchy of Danados and the team of the Sajaya Empire had already gotten to know each other well, and they were chatting while drinking.

One person asked curiously, "I heard that the God of Light personally baptized priest Joshua, is this true?"

"Of course it is true. When the priest walked out of the holy pond, he was wearing the same robe as the God of Light. The red rose petals flying all over the sky covered the sun. I will never forget that grand occasion." Sakya Empire One of the mage described in a reminiscence tone.

"I also heard that Boa Bright seduced the Pope in private in order to become the bishop of your empire. The Pope ignored your old bishop's objection and forcibly grabbed the bishop seat belonging to priest Joshua and handed it over to Boa. The night before the coronation ceremony, they acted sleazy and angered the Father, and asked the Father to send down divine fire and almost burn them to death. Is this also true?"

"The truth is hundreds of times more nasty than you think. Boa Bright was burnt with fire, revealing a hickey-strewn body that looked like a bitch in heat. The Pope refused to admit that he had a relationship with him. Boer Bright had an affair and said that the second prince did it. The second prince, who was demoted to a commoner, immediately came forward to accuse him, saying that besides the two of them, Boer's guests included the beast king and the little prince of the orc race. , and even," the man paused for a moment, then glanced at Bowen and the others furtively, and seeing that they were not paying attention, he continued, "there is even an elf king. No one is cleaner than anyone else. Father God is in the sky. You know, sooner or later they will all be burned to death."

The adventurer team hissed and gasped, unable to imagine how charismatic that Boer Bright was to be able to gather the top powerhouses in the continent between their legs. Is he really good in bed?

All kinds of fragrant pictures flashed in their minds, and they commented on it for a while, sighing, "How can such a slutty person be qualified to serve God the Father? No wonder God the Father wants to be angry. I see, he is the status of God's favor. It's probably made up."

"Even if it's true, he would betray the Father and deserve to be burned to death. I heard that he escaped, do you know where he went?"

"I don't know, but I heard that the one who rescued him was a powerful monster. Judging from the breath, it should be a demon king in the dark abyss. Maybe he has become a priest of darkness now, and he is crawling under the demon king. What's it called?" The people from the Sagaya Empire sneered.

The eyes and ears of the elves and orcs are particularly sensitive. Even if these people tried to keep their voices low, Bowen and the others could still hear their conversations clearly. His face was gloomy, his heart was trembling, and he tried desperately to deny these words, but one by one doubts jumped out automatically and told him that they were all true.

Boa was rescued by a demon king, so who is Duke Hubert, who has been inseparable with him these days? Is it really human? The Elf King is also Bao'er's guest of honor, how is this possible?

Bowen covered his face, feeling that he was deceiving himself. All the elves can see the ambiguous relationship between Wang and Bo'er. He seduced so many people with his flesh, and he also betrayed God the Father, and his soul was already dirty. In human society, he represents filth and evil, and is an existence that is completely rejected by God the Father.

And such a person is now living carefree in the clan of elves and orcs, and being held in the palm of the hand by the king and the beast emperor, this is disgusting! Berwyn's stomach began to throb.

"Yeah!" An elf screamed, causing everyone to see it, even Priest Joshua, who was very sleepy, moved his fingertips.

The elf quickly covered his mouth and stared at the slightly frowning brow of the priest with worried and apologetic eyes. Another elf immediately walked up to the priest and sang a lullaby for him.

Slowly, the priest fell asleep again, and everyone looked over with condemning eyes while heaving a sigh of relief.

"Splashed by sparks." This elf was very young, and his pitiful expression was very sympathetic.

"If you make a fuss and make a fuss about the priest, you will leave immediately." The mage who led the team lowered his voice and warned. Herman is still the Pope, and they can't do anything to him, but they want these elves and orcs to take him away.

The elf was reluctant to leave Priest Joshua at all. It was so warm to be by his side, as reassuring as being nurtured on a mother tree.

Bowen apologized on his behalf, and waited for everyone to turn their eyes away to continue chatting before walking over, and asked in a low voice, "What's the matter with you?"

"High priest, do you still remember the difference between the forest of spirits half a month ago and the forest of spirits now?"

Although the Forest of Spirits was also suffering from the erosion of demonic energy half a month ago, the situation is far less serious than it is now. At that time, as long as Bowen patrolled around every day and performed a few purification techniques, the spread of demonic energy could be effectively curbed. But half a month ago, on the day of Bo'er's arrival, the magical energy of the entire forest of elves boiled, expanding outward at a very fast speed, almost swallowing up a third of the forest in the blink of an eye, and black The land and the lake, the scene was like hell.

Bowen was worried about this, but didn't think much of it. However, when the elf asked now, a thought appeared in his heart that made him feel even more frightened.

This disaster was probably brought about by Boa Bright. He angered the Father, but the elves and the orcs took him in and gave him shelter, turning the Father's beloved priest Joshua as an enemy. The omniscient and almighty God the Father must have angered both races.

So the magic energy started to get out of control.

What's even more worrying is that it was a demon king who rescued Boa. As we all know, a demon king wants to hide his identity, and even the pope in his heyday could not see through him. This demon king followed Bo'er to the forest of elves, and the demonic energy would surely swarm when he was summoned.

If these speculations are true, the current elves and orcs are in danger of extinction.

Bowen was terrified with cold sweat, and the little elf shrank beside him and shivered, looking like he was about to cry.

"High Priest, we must go back immediately!" He urged anxiously while rubbing his eyes.

"If it's really the Demon King, I can't deal with him. We have to take Priest Joshua back." Bowen waved his hand weakly.

"But he probably guessed that Bo'er is in our clan, and he won't go. Like God the Father, he will hate us." The elf choked.

When they attacked the priest Joshua before, they said they had defeated the purpose of revenge for Boa Bright. If they don't know what happened to Bao'er, why are they so angry? They must have been in contact with Bao'er after he escaped. Boa Bright, who was completely rejected by human society, had nowhere else to go except to hide in the Forest of Spirits. Any fool can guess.

No wonder these humans are desperate to get rid of them. They must have defined the elves and orcs as blasphemers.

The more the elf thought about it, the more frightened it became, and she cried uncontrollably while holding the high priest's arm.

The other clansmen silently gathered around the high priest, showing expressions of despair. How did two races rejected by the Father triumph in the dark war? When the forest of elves is completely swallowed up by the demonic energy, it is when they exterminate their clan.

"It's alright, priest Joshua is so kind, he won't let him die." Bowen spoke firmly, but he was a little uncertain. He hadn't forgotten about Joshua's ignorance of the Pope's life and death before. He could see that the priest Joshua was the most amiable only when he was praying, and was extremely cold the rest of the time.

Let's wait until it's time for him to pray.

The next day, Zhou Yun Sheng was awakened by his biological clock. Confirming that there was no danger outside, he raised an index finger and retracted the golden barrier, wisps of golden light swirled around him like a dragon, and then scrambled to get into his fingertips. The priest was shocked.

Others may not have a very intuitive feeling, but as priests of light, no one knows more than them how difficult the power of light is to control. Once it is released, it dissipates, and it is impossible to take it back intact. I am afraid that only God the Father can do this.

What kind of priest of light is Joshua now? Dharma saint, demigod, or already a god?

Bowen's eyes flashed, trying his best to suppress the anxiety in his heart. The present priest Joshua is not good at speaking at all.

Sure enough, when the team finished resting and continued to set off, he sat on the cab and said without raising his head, "The danger has been lifted, you can leave."

A group of elves and orcs hurriedly surrounded him, looking at him with watery eyes, as if to say, "Please have pity on us!"

Zhou Yun Sheng simply got into the car and ordered, "Let's go."

The guide hurriedly drove forward.

Bowen grabbed the clansmen who wanted to chase, and waited for the group to walk away before saying, "Let's keep up quietly and ask Priest Joshua when he prays." He looked at the Pope and said mercilessly, "Herman, go back to the Holy See by yourself, I won't send you away."

"Why? You know my current situation. I can't walk out of the forest of elves safely with this number of people." The Pope shouted. There was only one mage and two warriors left by his side, and they were both seriously injured, and they didn't even have the ability to protect themselves, let alone protect others.

"We have something urgent to do, and we can't delay it. Herman, you have to pay the price for your choice. God the Father is watching from heaven, and all of us can't escape his eyes." Berwin left the sentence. , and quickly disappeared into the jungle with the clan, leaving the Pope who was angry and desperate, screaming in place.
