Lord: I have a skill talent tree

Rocky Mountains

The boundary between human and orc territory.

There is a canyon that is sunken inwards by the sea. It is surrounded by mist all year round and is called the Steam Valley.

The canyon is several hundred meters deep, with cliffs on both sides that are straight up and down like a knife.

At the end, near the top, a huge cave was dug out.

At this time, an old man with elf ears but orc skin was standing alone in front of a portrait in the cave.

The painting shows an elf woman with long silver hair like a waterfall, as smooth as the moonlight caressing the lake, and her hair dancing gently in the breeze.

Her eyes are like clear lakes, with a faint green in her eyes, as if hiding endless tranquility and tenderness, but the slightly drooping corners of her eyes seem to hide endless sorrow.

Her facial features are delicate, her nose is slightly upturned, and the tip of her nose reflects the glimmer of the sun just right; her lips are as soft as petals, with a faint smile, and her lip color is like cherry blossom petals in the morning light, elegant and moving.

Her skin was fair and translucent, and it seemed that she could feel the freshness of the morning mist, which complemented the elegance of her gentle smile.

The old man looked at the portrait, his eyes blurred with tears, and he said to himself:

"Mother, I have always obeyed you since I was a child, so I live in fear every day and dare not make any mistakes.

Even if I was accidentally touched by someone in the market, I would immediately kneel down and admit my mistake to the other party, for fear of bringing disaster.

But what did we get in return for being so cautious?

The orcs beat and scolded us like animals, and we were covered with bruises.

The human race put me in a cage and paraded me through the streets. You begged me hard, so I was able to escape.

The most hateful are the elves. When you need to sacrifice, You made all kinds of promises, but when you completed the task, you forgot everything, even our humble life.

They thought I didn't know why you were sick, and you tried to hide it from me, but in fact, I knew everything from the day you got sick.

They planted [blood seeds] in your body and tortured you in the most vicious and painful way in the world.

In order to protect me, you silently took on everything, just as you silently took on responsibilities that did not belong to you.

I don't understand, what does all this have to do with you? Why did you do such a stupid thing? What happened?

I once secretly swore that I would kill all the elves, beasts, and humans.

I did so!

But after destroying the elves, I suddenly realized that all the suffering we experienced was just a game played by someone.

A black hand behind the scenes controlled everything, and all of us were played by it. Not only did we know nothing, but we also worshipped it as a god!

Haha! Ridiculous! It's really ridiculous!

Everything I have done for nearly a thousand years is actually a joke.

I was called a [fraudster], but at the end of my life , I found out what a real fraudster is.

I hated it so much and was so angry, but it was useless!

Mother! At this moment, I finally understood what you meant by "live in the present" when you always told me.

I'm sorry, when you were alive, I lived in fear every day and didn't show hope for a better life. I think you must be very disappointed in me!

But! Don't worry! Although there are not many days left, I will try my best to live for myself. I hope you can rest in peace and I hope you can be proud of me once! "

"Pa pa pa!" At this time, a burst of applause suddenly rang out.

An old man with white hair and beard walked into the cave slowly while clapping his hands: "Sir Kilpandas, everyone calls you a fraud, but I think you are the most sincere person in the world.

I express great sympathy for your mother's experience, and I also express great admiration for your determination to take revenge.

Now, the time for revenge has finally come.

To be precise, it is our chance for revenge. Let us clean up all the dirty parasites in this world together."

As he said, Valejo took off the [Sword of Killing] and [Scythe of Exploitation] from his back and placed them on a stone table.

And on the stone table, there was already a long whip, a dagger, a crown, and a book. Six of the Seven Sins were here.

"I have prepared everything for you, and the rest is up to you!" Valejo put down the things, took a step back, and then looked at Kilpandas eagerly.

Kilpandas ignored Valejo, but carefully took down the portrait from the wall, and then carefully rolled it up and put it into a painting tube.

After doing all this, he slowly turned around and smiled bitterly: "As agreed, I have brought other artifacts. If you want to revive Telgamesh, you can go by yourself!"

Hearing this, Valejo frowned and stared at Kirpandas with doubtful eyes.

"Hasn't it been your wish to avenge your mother? Now that the opportunity has come, you want to back down?"

"I didn't back down, otherwise I wouldn't have brought other artifacts. But I have more important things to do!"

Hearing this, Valejo's face turned cold instantly, and then his eyes turned gray instantly.

This is the mind control magic he is most proud of. Anyone who is controlled will let him drive it like a doll.

He used Kirpandas's revenge mentality to control the other party before, and the other party has always been very obedient, so he rarely uses forced control methods.

But today Kirpandas suddenly disobeyed, so he can only use force.

But what he didn't expect was that the complete mental connection suddenly failed today. Kilpandas was standing there, staring at him with a smile on his face, completely unaffected.

"When did you release the control?"

"I figured it out! I released it!" Kirpandas smiled and said, "You see, you can't even control me, and you're still trying to control Telgamesh. I guess your hope of success is slim.

Although you've always said that you resurrected Telgamesh for revenge, you and I both know that it's just an excuse.

Your ambition is just like the failed art student I instigated, and everyone knows it!

The reason I told you this is not because I'm afraid of death, but because I've learned and understood a lot during the time I've worked with you. I told you this out of gratitude. I advise you to think about it again.

In my personal opinion, your path to the table by controlling Telgamesh is probably not feasible, and it may become a stepping stone for others to ascend to the throne of God!

Of course, if you insist on doing this, I support you and sincerely wish you success! But everything depends on you!"

Valejo's face was as black as charcoal at this time, and he stared at Kirpandas with extremely cold eyes.

"Do you know why I saved you in the first place?

The reason I saved you is because your wish is more or less consistent with my ideal, but at the critical moment, you told me this?"

"No! You just can't enter the Dark Plains, that's why you need me."

Seeing that Kilpandas was not moved by his soft and hard words, Valejo exhaled heavily and gritted his teeth and said: "Since you don't want to, there is no point in living!"
