Green Monster Epic

“Then, we will await your arrival in two days.”

Abel took out a dazzling Legacy Crystal from his bosom and handed it directly to Allen.

Allen's calm eyes finally showed a trace of fluctuation, his pupils shrinking involuntarily.

He originally thought it would take a lot of effort and time to obtain this legacy, but he never expected that in just a few days, he would have achieved his goal.

“Okay, I will definitely visit Tulip Manor on time.”

When he took the Legacy Crystal, Allen couldn't suppress his emotions and squeezed the slightly warm crystal hard, feeling its reality.

“Goodbye.”

The moment he got the crystal, Allen got up and walked out, without any intention of staying.

“Ah, wait…”

Until Allen's figure had gone down the stairs to the first floor, Hazel, the president of the Scarlet Wings Chamber of Commerce, remembered something and opened her mouth to call out to Allen, but suddenly became timid again.

“…”

Although his eyes couldn't see, Abel's powerful mental web had already clearly fed back all of Allen's previous emotions and actions to his brain, constructing a series of lifelike pictures.

It was because he noticed Allen's emotional fluctuations when he received this Dual-Minded Legacy Crystal that Abel had more evidence for a certain judgment in his heart, which made it difficult for his heart to calm down gradually.

“Let's go, let's go back!”

After thinking for a moment, Abel also stood up and prepared to leave.

“Grandpa Abel, I've already asked people to prepare lunch…”

“No need, you can eat it yourselves, I still have things to do.”

“Oh, Grandpa, take care.”

Hazel disappointedly saw Abel and the others off, stomping her bright red leather boots hard on the marble floor.

She couldn't help but vent a little bit of her temper.

This time, although she had made some contributions in front of the Council of Truth, she might have offended a demigod because of it.

In the end, she didn't know whether this deal should be considered a profit or a loss!

However, in the subsequent transaction, the Scarlet Wings Chamber of Commerce, which was originally acting as an intermediary, was excluded by both parties.

Although the various legendary bone materials appraised by Karsten were messy and of uneven quality, most of them were magical materials that spellcasters could use, so Allen did not resell them through the Chamber of Commerce, but directly returned them to Abel and the others.

Hazel originally had the opportunity to buy the remaining materials from Allen, but Allen left so cleanly that she didn't even have time to speak before he had already gone far away.

On Abel's side, Hazel didn't want to mention the intermediary matter to him, so as not to leave a bad impression.

However, as a qualified businessman, a business that could have involved millions of gold coins, but now her Chamber of Commerce has gained nothing and has offended a demigod, how could Hazel not feel wronged!

However, no matter how wronged she felt, Hazel still had to order people to quickly clean up Tulip Manor in preparation for the meeting between Liam, the Speaker of the Council of Truth, and the Goblin Bear Demigod in two days.

“Will he come to the meeting?”

On the way back, Yudora, a legendary divination mage and one of the Councilors of the Council of Truth, who accompanied Abel to meet Allen, couldn't help but ask with a worried tone.

“Whether he comes or not, at least we can lift the kingdom's martial law.”

Abel's expression was as usual, but he couldn't help but feel a little dumbfounded in his heart.

The entire kingdom mobilized, with dozens of legendary powerhouses and tens of thousands of regular troops running around for months, constantly searching for and guarding against unknown powerhouses approaching the country.

Unexpectedly, this powerhouse, who made the royal family and the council's high-level officials unable to sleep at night, came to the kingdom not because he had any intentions towards the Ice and Snow Kingdom, but only for a mere Legacy Crystal of legendary expertise.

After such a misunderstanding was resolved, looking back at this time, it felt somewhat comical and self-deprecating.

“Are you sure that the target we are looking for is him??”

Yudora was still not at ease.

“You must learn to pay attention to reality, gather all the information and perform logical deductions, instead of treating divination magic as your only omnipotent key, my child.”

Abel liked his student's focus on divination magic, but he was also somewhat worried that his student would rely too much on the obscure premonitions given by divination magic, and instead ignore the information and intelligence of reality.

Just like this time looking for that existence, using astronomical observations combined with the peeping of the River of Time, although the target's approximate strength and destination were predicted, the deviation and prediction range were indeed not small.

The entire kingdom spent months of effort and still did not find the other party's trace.

The sudden emergence of information about the Goblin Bear, if it were given to Yudora, perhaps she would have missed it as ordinary information, but when it fell into Abel's hands, combined with various clues and the tracking of his identity background, it allowed Abel to roughly determine that the other party was the existence who was walking on the path to becoming a god in his divination.

The Goblin Bear powerhouse named Allen, with excellent cooking skills, able to cook dishes with ordinary ingredients that have magical breakthrough effects, can basically lock the identity of this Goblin Bear.

The fact that the other party's strength reached the demigod level and officially became one of the five pillars of the Mansha Alliance was also heard even in the remote Ice and Snow Kingdom.

At the same time, not only in the wilderness, but also among the upper nobles of the Ice and Snow Kingdom, there are anecdotes about the God of Cookery, which invisibly confirmed the cornerstone that Allen, this Goblin Bear, has on the path to becoming a god.

Combined with the fact that the dim new star in the astronomical observation is growing rapidly…

In fact, you only need to connect all the clues together, and then make bold assumptions, and then re-predict based on this, and the final result does not surprise Abel at all.

“Yes, teacher.”

Yudora slowly lowered her head, but Abel still felt a trace of disapproval deep in Yudora's heart through the feedback of the mental web.

Sighing inwardly, Abel did not intend to persuade her any further.

The difficulties faced by each mage on the path of magic are different.

They learn about and analyze the truth of the world by learning the knowledge left by their predecessors as a tool.

This certainly allows them to see the laws behind the prosperous world, but it also makes them believe that they are on the right path and have too much confidence in themselves.

Too much confidence will eventually evolve into complacency, and because of complacency, it is difficult for mages to turn around and listen to the reasoning and rules of others.

Just like the students before him, Yodula was engrossed in the magnificent astronomical phenomena and the obscure, mysterious divination magic. Coupled with the Truth Council's somewhat detached and unconventional style, Yodula now seemed out of sync with the secular world. Even when looking at ordinary people, his gaze was akin to that of seeing livestock or ants.

Returning to the summit of the towering snow mountain, Abel went to discuss the meeting two days later with Liam. Meanwhile, Yodula went alone to the observatory, guarding the sophisticated telescope, and continued his engrossing stellar research.

… … … …

Having his identity exposed, Alan maintained his current guise and calmly returned to his residence, a hotel on the third floor near a remote street.

Spreading out tendrils of mental power, finding no suspicious individuals, Alan closed the door and took out several magical trinkets, as well as two spell scrolls. He quickly set up several warning devices to prevent magical spying before settling down to examine the One Mind, Two Uses legendary feat crystal he had just obtained.

After roughly skimming through the characteristics, functions, training methods, and other content recorded in the One Mind, Two Uses feat crystal, Alan withdrew his consciousness and put the crystal away.

Feats can't be rushed. Even if Alan started practicing now, it would be basically impossible to make any progress without a dozen years. On the contrary, Alan needed to carefully consider the promised meeting and couldn't be careless.

The fact that the other party could see through his identity at a glance clearly indicated that they had conducted an in-depth review of his past. The problem was that while Alan hadn't deliberately concealed his whereabouts and identity, Crystal Frost City was a metropolis with a million residents. Unless the kingdom was intentionally involved, who would conduct such a detailed investigation into an ordinary traveler?

On the road, he had encountered inquiries from cavalry and garrison troops several times. The caravan and his adventurer companions had said it was strange, different from usual. Looking back now, perhaps something was happening in the capital.

Then, could the events happening in the capital be related to the Truth Council's Speaker and Deputy Speaker jointly meeting with him?

Judging from Abel's appearance, the Truth Council seemed very concerned about meeting him. What ulterior motives might they have?

… … … …

“Are you sure he's really secretly building a faith to lay the foundation for his ascension to godhood??”

In addition to the main tower of the Ice Crystal Tower, there were more than a dozen sub-towers standing around the main tower, serving as places for each legendary mage in the council to rest, study, and conduct research.

In its heyday, each sub-tower was occupied by a legendary mage, plus the servants who took care of the legendary mage's daily life and the students who followed them in their studies, so it wasn't considered deserted. But now, several of these dozen sub-towers had been left vacant, with no new owners appearing for hundreds of years.

In the end, only old-timers like Abel and Liam would often come to visit, or frequently relocate without minding the trouble, just to feel the aura left behind by their old friends.

The sub-tower where Liam currently resided was once the place where former Speaker Brandt rested and researched. Although many of the legacies left by the former Speaker had now been repossessed by the council or returned to his family, the landscape portrait that Liam was currently looking at was still painted by Brandt himself.

“At least the future visions that my student and I saw through divination magic tell us so.”

Abel nodded, his words full of confidence.

“Hahaha, how ridiculous. My Truth Council is determined to overthrow the oppression of the gods and give the common people of the Ferman World an equal future. Now, we have to discuss cooperation with a fellow who is preparing to embark on the path to godhood. Tell me, how ironic is this?”

As a student of the former Speaker, Liam had always regarded his teacher Brandt as his idol since joining the council.

Although Liam ultimately didn't embark on the path of a fire-elemental archmage due to his talent and affinity for magic, but instead became an ice-elemental archmage, which was the opposite of fire. However, in choosing a teacher to study under, Liam resolutely turned to Brandt, for which he took many detours, but also realized his dream of being by his idol's side since he was a boy.

Speaker Brandt eventually led like-minded companions to their deaths to accomplish the great event that the council had been planning for countless years. At that time, Liam had also wanted to follow his teacher, but unfortunately, his strength was not enough, and he could only become a trustee left behind in the Ferman World.

Later, Liam also worked hard to improve himself, and eventually, with Abel's support, he took the position of his teacher and inherited the legacy of his predecessors.

After Abel received the intelligence from the Hazel Merchant Guild, he once again expended several years of his lifespan to cast divination magic, searching through the still turbulent and chaotic River of Time for a few future images of Alan, thereby confirming that he was indeed the source of the formation of the new star in the sky, and also the being who was walking on the path to godhood in his prophecy.

Now that the person in question had been found, the next step was to see what could be gained for the Truth Council and the Ice Snow Kingdom through this matter.

Don't look at the current Ice Snow Kingdom, which seems to be detached from many human kingdoms, and no human kingdom or the gods behind them dare to invade the kingdom. In fact, the kingdom is now facing internal and external troubles, but they are not apparent on the surface.

The Four Seasons Kingdom, formerly the Spring Kingdom, was newly established. The former citizens were either devastated by the armies of demons and devils, or disheartened after being betrayed by the goddess of spring they once believed in. They turned to other kingdoms or simply followed the former royal family to the Ice Snow Kingdom.

In the past hundred years, with the support of other countries and churches of the human nations, the Four Seasons Kingdom has finally had a new look. The kingdom's royal family has gradually increased its control over the region, which also means that the passage to the outside world for the future Ice Snow Kingdom may be completely banned at any time by an order from the Four Seasons Kingdom's royal family.

At the same time, the human kingdoms and the gods behind them also regard the Ice Snow Kingdom as a thorn in their side. Although the Ice Snow Goddess has a great reputation, the existence of the kingdom does not only rely on a reclusive and powerful god. At the same time, it is also a collection of thousands of households and the nobles in the ruling class.

Without families and nobles, what use would a kingdom be, even if it had a vast territory?

The means currently employed by the human kingdoms is to support the local forces of the Ice Snow Kingdom, so that they can either lead their family vassals to migrate to other countries, or engage in internal strife with the royal family, just to hollow out this country with harsh climate and environment like boiling a frog in warm water.
