Mystery: Starting from Meeting Amon

Chapter 280 Golden Apple

Lewis was already curious about the purpose of the venomous snakes, and now that the elves were asking him for help, it was not impossible for him to provide some help.

He took out a copper whistle from his pocket and blew it. With a sound like the cry of a whale, the messenger Miss Elana walked out of the spirit world and appeared in this small cage space.

"I need the crown of the God of Scourge." Lewis said.

Elana immediately opened the passage to the spirit world, her upper body entered the spirit world, while her lower body remained in the real world.

Soon, Elana returned from the spirit world, holding a crown inlaid with sapphires in her hands.

Lewis put the crown on, and a tornado-like storm began to emerge under his feet. The storm destroyed the cage that trapped him, blew off his half-high silk top hat, and carried him high into the sky.

Simply by moving, the Crown of the God of Calamity will make the blood of those around it boil, but moving is not the only way to trigger the side effects of this seal.

If he didn't carry the seal high into the sky, the side effects of the seal would soon kill all creatures nearby, including the elves.

In mid-air, Lewis clenched his palms, and the next moment, the dark clouds in the sky burst into brilliant light, and lightning surged between the dark clouds. These lightnings intertwined and entangled with each other, accompanied by a loud "boom".

"Click..."

The first bolt of lightning struck, and it struck a group of poisonous snakes in the distance, and then spread in all directions with the help of rain.

Within the range of the lightning strike, the corpses of poisonous snakes were densely packed.

After the first bolt of lightning struck, countless lightning bolts fell from the dark clouds in the sky. The lightning illuminated the night in an instant, and the bright light hurt the eyes.

Thick lightning bolts poured down from the sky one after another. The lightning mixed with the rain, covering an area the size of a dozen football fields, and also covering all the poisonous snakes in it.

In just a few seconds, the ground was covered with the corpses of venomous snakes.

The lightning followed Lewis and continued to wander in the rainstorm, heading towards the outskirts of the elves' residence.

"Hiss..." A poisonous snake far away from the lightning seemed to shout, and those poisonous snakes that still had strength left fled in all directions in a very tacit way. Some drilled into the cracks in the ground, some drilled into tree holes, and some kept running into the distance until they disappeared.

Lewis did not continue chasing the poisonous snakes. The side effects of the seal made his blood boil and his skin turned all red, like a cooked lobster.

He blew the copper whistle and sent the crown of the God of Scourge back to the spirit world. Then he slowly fell to the ground and picked up the half-high silk hat from the dirty mud pit.

A drop of golden liquid dripped onto the half-high silk hat. That drop of holy water of the sun burned away the impurities, making the hat look brand new.

Lewis put it back on his head and the female elf knelt in front of him.

The female elf half-hid her eyes and crossed her hands in front of her chest, as if praying to Lewis.

Following behind the female elf were the elven warriors one after another. They were also kneeling, and their piety even made Lewis wonder.

The female elf lowered her head silently and apologized to Lewis.

"Please forgive our unreasonableness. The power you have demonstrated speaks for itself."

"Really?" Lewis pressed his half-high silk hat and walked into the nearest house to shelter from the rain. The "Sun Finger Bones" emitted a golden light, illuminating his body and cleaning the dirty water on his body and clothes.

"I want to know something." Lewis looked at the female elf kneeling in the rain and said.

"Yes, you have the right to know everything here." The female elf crawled in the mud and said devoutly.

Lewis sat aside, thought for a while, and said: "Let's talk about the situation of this forest first, why are you so taboo about destroying trees?" The female elf did not answer. Lewis looked at the kneeling elves and felt that it should be a secret that cannot be known by too many people.

He had no choice but to be patient and said, "Rest today, I'll come back to ask you tomorrow."

"Yes."

As Lewis went to the residence of the female elves, the kneeling elves slowly dispersed.

The elves all live in wooden houses. The female elf who commands the battle seems to have a special status. Her house is built on the trunk of a giant tree, overlooking the entire gathering place.

On this rainy night, Lewis sat by the window until midnight, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"It's hard to imagine that those venomous snakes are not real entities."

In the distance, the densely packed snake corpses began to disappear, emitting wisps of black smoke that dissipated in the darkness.

The next morning, just as the sun was rising, the female elves, wearing sacrificial robes, knelt before Lewis.

"I'm very curious about your change in attitude. What's the reason?" Lewis didn't sleep all night, but he was still in high spirits. He looked at the female elf and teased.

The female elf lowered her head and said devoutly:
“When we first discovered you, you seemed like a stranger from another dimension, and we didn’t pay much attention to you.

Then, your destructive behavior in the forest made me suspect that you were also a villain who coveted the golden apples.

However, the raging and terrifying storm last night showed that my previous guesses were all wrong. You are the incarnation of the Elf King, our relative."

Lewis smiled faintly. Outside the Western Continent, the so-called Elf King was only active in the Second Age, and then his power was taken back by the resurrected Creator of Silver City.

Later, the current Lord of Storms betrayed the Creator of Silver City, divided up that power, and became a true God.

In this way, the current Lord of Storms is almost equivalent to the Elf King as mentioned by the elves.

According to legend, the Western Continent is the homeland of the elves, and now it seems that this legend is correct.

It’s a pity that Lewis’ relationship with the Lord of Storms is not friendly. If he were not in the Western Continent now, he would only need a prayer to arouse the wrath of the Lord of Storms.

After digesting the elf's message for a while, Lewis asked again, "What are the golden apples you are talking about?"

The female elf said devoutly:

“The golden apple is the treasure of our tribe. Anyone who eats it can gain magical powers, but only the purest women in the tribe can take it, otherwise there is a risk of going crazy or dying.

My power comes from the golden apple. According to records, people who eat the golden apple may gain different powers. "

Lewis couldn't help but become interested in this kind of thing. The golden apple sounded like some kind of strange potion, but it was fundamentally different because people who took the same type of potion would never gain different supernatural powers.

"Can I take a look at the golden apple?" Lewis asked again. If he could see the golden apple, he should be able to use divination to obtain effective information.

"This year's golden apple has not yet appeared. In the next few days, it will appear on a tree in the center of the forest."

Lewis smiled faintly. This was a strange feature that appeared randomly in the center of the forest.
