Heroic Spirit: I, Shinji, have tried my best.

Chapter 199: The Genius of the Elf

The plan is complete, so the next step is to implement it...

At the foot of a cliff in the center of the continent, there are lush green plants growing everywhere, and glowing little flowers growing on the vine-like stone pillars.

This is the territory of the [Forest Elves]. They coexist with nature and believe in the gods that symbolize [Nature]. That is why they have a huge rift with the [Dwarfs] who experiment with weapons everywhere and destroy the forest.

However, don't think that they are a kind race because the Elves, who are ranked first among the lower races, have caused no less damage to nature than others.

When engaging an enemy, the large-scale magic spell released is enough to kill all living things in the area...

There is no harmony among the forest elves, as they are born with a lifespan of nearly a thousand years and extremely high adaptability to magic. They are also the only race that can use multiple spells.

But of course not every forest elf can do this. Only talented people can become multiple warlocks. This also determines the relationship of hierarchy within the forest.

And now the leader of the elves is an unprecedented super genius, the only eight-fold sorcerer in history.

While other tribesmen may not be able to become a qualified sorcerer even after hundreds of years, she mastered all fields in just three years and graduated from the highest institution of the elves, the White Tower Tree...

The techniques he developed formed the basis for the compilation of forest elves' techniques. He also theorized and refined complex techniques, and was the first strategist to use a group to compile large-scale magical techniques.

His family naturally became the largest family of forest elves...

Maybe it's just a coincidence of fate...

The forest elves and the goblins both produced a super genius, and the two of them disliked each other so much that they wanted to kill each other immediately.

But this is not an easy task... The only time was the large-scale landing battle with the goblins in the old forest elf capital...

They almost killed each other that time, but unfortunately a Flügel girl suddenly fell from the sky and ruined this great opportunity. She destroyed the entire city and walked away...

And now, the current leader of the elves is a pointy-eared beauty with golden curly hair.

Pink pupils and purple irises, with a wing-like headdress on the head. On the forehead there are four gems, two blue and two pink, arranged in a diamond shape... This is the precious forging material coveted by the goblins.

At this moment, this fairy-like beauty was frowning her beautiful brows, as if she had encountered some troubles... Of course, if other elves saw her like this, they would naturally not worry too much.

After all, the other party was always immersed in magic research and even completely ignored the outside world at critical moments. There were more than one incident where he almost starved to death because he forgot to eat, almost drowned while taking a bath, and died of dehydration due to crazy research for several days...

Compared with these, the current situation is a minor problem.

Suddenly, the opponent's ears moved, and he stared at the darkness in front of him vigilantly. He raised his hand and released two superimposed magic circles towards the front:

"Who's there?"

"For now... I will call myself "Ghost"..."

"【ghost】?"

"Then you must have something very important to tell me..."

A guy wearing a black robe and a mask on his face walked out... This is obviously the base camp of the elves, but how could it be invaded without any noise?

As a genius of the forest elves, he began to frantically guess the other party's origins... Unfortunately, the other party's aura was hidden too well, and not even a trace of [elves] fluctuations were emitted.

"Is it important? I just came here to play a game."

"game?"

The girl looked at the other person suspiciously as he slowly took out a chessboard from his body. As the black and white chess pieces were placed on the board one by one, a regular chess game appeared before her eyes.

"The bet is for information. If I win, you have to tell me your information. If you win, I will also tell you the information you want to know."

"Ah, ah... a nobody actually wants to fight me, Nina Kleb?"

The forest elf girl who called herself "Nina" looked at the guy in front of her with disdain, who didn't even dare to reveal his identity. She was even more confused, but she was not sure whether the other party had any hidden cards...

"So what if I were to tell you... that the Dwarves already know about the existence of the [Zeroth Protection of the Void]?"

Nina's pupils shrank when she heard that.

She had just completed the technique of [Hollow Zero Protection], and it was just a theory before. She didn't expect that it would be known to others before she had even used it once!

"If you were the one who proposed this, you would probably be able to determine whether this information is true or false."

"...Well, it seems that no matter who you are, you can no longer sit back and do nothing..."

"Then my bet is on the advocates of the [Hollow Zero Protection]..."

"[It's not you who advocates it] If you're going to say that, then I already know it."

Nina paused again, but immediately chuckled again, raised one hand and quietly released a micro-spell...

"If you want to use magic to force me to believe this false information, then there is no need..."

"!"

Nina looked back with an unpleasant expression... Who on earth was this person who actually saw through her magic...

"Then let me tell you my bet: Even after knowing that the Dwarfs know about the existence of the Zero Protection of the Void, I am still fearless and confident..."

"What did you say! Could it be that..."

"Yes... a large weapon that can rival or even surpass the technique you are so proud of... [Marrow Explosion]."

Under the mask, Riku's lips curled up into a smile. When he saw that the other party followed his plan, they had achieved their goal.

It seems that Shinji doesn't need to come along, they are enough here.

……

"【Zhilunbao】... Such a weapon was actually invented by those moles, and even surpassed the 【Void Zero Protection】 in terms of single-target power..."

The forest elf girl named Nina bit her fingers and listened to the information she just received with some surprise.

Since the other party has said so much, the game naturally has to begin...but what surprised her is that the other party is surprisingly weak?

Although for a genius like her, chess is just a child's game, but since she took the initiative to bring up this game, it is impossible that she is not good at it...

And her guess was not without reason... because she tried to secretly use magic to cheat several times in the game, but she was discovered by the opponent one by one. This made her more vigilant, but she didn't expect that she won in the end...

"Stop... Are you an enemy or an ally? Why are you telling me this?"

"We are neither [enemies] nor [comrades]... [Ghost] will not let anyone die."

"..."

Riku stood up and left silently. He had tried his best, but he still couldn't beat this woman... But the message had been conveyed, and the mission had been completed...

"Oh, by the way, Nina Cleave isn't my real name. My name is Sink Nilvalen. Did you guess that?"

Nina... no, it was Sink who smiled innocently and said to Riku as he left.

"I don't think I've ever called you [Nina]..."

"..."

Riku answered without even turning his head. He had been gambling with her from the beginning to the end, betting that she would not dare to make a move, and now he had to leave here quickly...

"…You are truly extraordinary…"

Xinke's innocent smile just now collapsed and was replaced by a look of contempt again.

[No matter who you are, since you have chosen me as your plaything, you must be careful at all times. We Nilvalen are very "clingy"...]

Then she looked at the other person's defenseless back, as if tempting her to take action... Normally, she should never take action casually.

But...even if it's just a possibility, what if the other party is just pretending? Maybe the person under the mask is just an extremely cowardly race?

If the so-called "trump card" was just an idea from the beginning...

Thinking of this, Sink's opponent gathered an energy ball and aimed it at the huge flaw on Riku's back...

[Let me first test whether you have the ability to brag...]

Then, the magic bullet flew out instantly and landed behind Riku easily, but the opponent was still unaware at this time, as if he didn't even realize that he was being attacked...

"Huh! It really is... Nani!?"

In the empty room, a slight explosion sounded, and the two people at the scene paused, looking at the dark shield that suddenly appeared behind Riku... There was white smoke on it from the magic bullet...

Under the surprised gaze of the two men, the shield shrank like liquid and condensed into a black sphere floating in the air.

"That is……"

“…You shouldn’t have done that.”

"!!!"
