The old man you see with your phone is highly suspicious.

Wait a minute, it seems there really is a connection. There is a fragment of the King on Earth. As we all know, the consciousness of the Mimic King was also born from a fragment of the King. In other words, the consciousness of Earth and the Mimic King are actually of the same level.

It's just that their strengths are vastly different.

Genesis was the ultimate ritual used by the Earth God-King to suppress Earth's consciousness...

Xue Dinglu suddenly understood why the Mimicry King was so serious now; perhaps this thing really wasn't as simple as he had thought.

According to the theory of mimicry and kingship, Zeus is definitely a genuine descendant of kingship.

In that age of gods where magic was unrestricted, the native gods who had fully absorbed the spirit of the Venerable King, without any limitations, produced ultimate feats that were extremely useful data even to the mimicking Venerable King.

It is more valuable for research than the fairy tale world created by the Evil Eye. Although the Evil Eye is also a fragment of the King, the fairy tale creatures created by the Evil Eye can also be considered as creations of the King.

So the Mimic King stopped speaking; He had now fully entered a state of research.

As for Xue Lude, he had been communicating with the Mimic King for a long time, but outside, he only stared blankly for a while, as if he had been thinking for a few seconds.

At this moment, the baron, who had previously been identified as a "monster," said: "I don't know why I got this identity card, but I still want to defend myself. I did kill people, and even before they died, I inflicted the most inhumane torture on them, but I don't think I did anything wrong."

“I am right!” he said very seriously, word by word.

"How many people have you killed?" the half-elf asked warily, still holding his dagger.

"Three people, a family of three, I killed them with my own hands," the Baron said without any hesitation, which made Xue Dinglu look at him with new respect.

He might be the martyr, and I might be the monster.

It's normal for me to have the Monster card, since I'm a hodgepodge right now. The Immortal Mark, the Void Void, the parasite of the Divine Tree, the undead's underlying code, the power to transform into a demon... and Hassan's laughing mask, as well as all sorts of strange things inside me.

Any one of them can be used to identify a "monster".

Perhaps this is how this identity should be.

"I'll trust you this once," the half-elf said, taking another step back.

"Let me protect you. With me by your side, at least you can have some protection," Xue Dinglu said at this moment.

He had initially approached this game with the mindset of playing Werewolf, but now that he knows it's a spell that can communicate with the Seventh Apostle, he's become a little more serious.

The noble lady seemed to have been waiting for these words. In an instant, she appeared behind Xue Dinglu and said, "Thank you, Father! You are a good person!"

Xue's law simply nodded calmly.

The half-elf hesitated slightly, but still slowly moved behind Xue Dinglu, indicating her stance.

“Alright, let’s rest here for the night. I’ll prioritize protecting the young lady who’s being targeted by this strange prophecy.” Xue Dinglu continued to play the role of a priest, and because neither of them were young boys, he maintained a cold attitude even towards this noble lady who was practically clinging to him.

"According to the prophecy, a young lady will drown tonight!"

"Okay." This time, no one objected.

As they settled in and prepared to rest temporarily, the half-elf approached Xue Dinglu and said in a disapproving tone, "I'm willing to believe you, but please undo the things you did to me, or undo the drugs you put on me."

“My identity and my lowly value are not worth you, a noble spellcaster, using such bizarre methods to control me.”

Xue's Law: "?"

Chapter 450 The Half-Elf's Past

The question mark raised by Xue's Law is not to indicate that he himself has a problem, but rather that he thinks there is a problem with this half-elf.

Girl, you're overthinking things. What do you mean I did something to you? Or do you suspect I drugged you?

With your dirty hood and your thin body, are you perhaps on par with Fafnir?

You inexplicably harbor a great deal of hostility towards me, yet your favorability towards me is skyrocketing...

Wait... the favorability rating is rising...

Xue's Law seems to have realized something was wrong.

He has two debuffs: one is "Human Protection," which means that all humans have at least 60 points of initial favorability towards him.

There is also [Fairy Love], which greatly increases the fairy's affection for you.

He deeply resented these two debuffs, feeling that he had gotten himself into trouble without doing anything, and that he might as well have a taunt aura or a group intelligence-reducing aura.

However, in reality, it is difficult for these two debuffs to take full effect on the same unit.

Purebred humans probably only consume the favorability gained from human protection.

Purebred elves or fairies are likely to be affected by Fairy Love and, in some cases, Human Blessing debuffs.

As for other strange humanoid or subhuman races, they will probably take both debuffs, but only a small amount, enough to maintain an initial favorability level of around 50.

But half-elves are different. They are both human and fairy, suffering from both debuffs to the fullest, and might even enjoy additional favorability bonuses...

Therefore, as long as Xue Law stands here, the half-elf's favorability will skyrocket.

Why wasn't this problem discovered before?

Because Xue Law had only seen Fafnir, a living half-elf, before, but Fafnir's favorability towards him had always been 89, and her outward behavior was the same as before, so Xue Law did not feel anything unusual. At most, he just felt that Fafnir seemed to be more clingy to him recently.

But now, judging from this half-elf's performance, things might get really funny.

At the same time, the half-elf instantly misunderstood. The moment she saw Xue Luding, her favorability rating soared to 80. In that instant, she felt her heart pounding wildly for no reason, accompanied by twitching, and her whole body felt inexplicably hot.

The indescribable flutter in her heart was so intense that for a moment she didn't think of love, but rather that she had been drugged!

Therefore, she remained highly vigilant and endured the sensation in her body that seemed to be entering a period of intense sexual activity, using her limited mental capacity to think.

He discovered that the noble lady, who was also a newcomer, was perfectly normal; only he was experiencing problems.

And after seeing Xue's Law, this feeling became particularly intense, and she felt that she must have been drugged by the priest in front of her, or that he had done something to her.

There was no way around it; she wasn't the type to be blinded by love. Even when her body sent her primal urges to reproduce, she could forcefully suppress them and think about how to resolve the problem.

She didn't dislike the priest, whether it was an instinctive physical reaction or a product of her rational thinking.

Even the light emanating from him felt warm and welcoming, something she, a rat living in the gutter, had never experienced.

However, she wouldn't just fall in love with a stranger for no reason, no matter who the other person was. At the same time, this conflict between reason and emotion was more like a battle between the left and right hemispheres of her brain, so the outward manifestation was that she was hissing like a kitten.

Xue's Law: "..."

See? This debuff on me is starting to cause trouble, isn't it?

"Lord Lao, do you have any water to wash off? Can I wash away these two filthy protective auras?" Xue Dinglu complained to the mimicking Lord Lao.

"Are you talking to me? What does Lord Lao mean?" the Mimic King retorted, but still said, "Generally speaking, blessings are pure good wishes, and they are mostly positive effects. It's just that the effects might be too strong. However, I can indeed remove these two blessings, but it will cause irreparable damage to the benefactor who received the blessing. Are you sure you want to erase these two blessings?"

"Well... never mind, are there any other better ways?" Xue asked.

“Yes, you can just find the source of the protection and have them remove it,” the Mimic King proposed a second solution.

Xue's Law: "..."

He felt that if he found the source of these two blessings, it wouldn't just be that he could remove them; instead, these two blessings would undergo a super-evolution, and he might even be beaten to his knees and dragged into a secret room...

"Then there is a third way, which is to wear Hassan's mask. This mask will completely transform you into another state, while concealing all your original aura, as if you have become a completely new individual. It is just like putting a disguise on you on all levels."

“I understand, the suited man, right?” Xue Dinglu immediately took out Hassan’s mask.

At the masquerade ball, everyone wore masks, except for Xue Lude and Hassan.

Xue's reason was that he was a newcomer and didn't yet have a mask, while Hassan's was because his previous void power had already overflowed uncontrollably, and he probably didn't want the void power to contaminate his mask.

Furthermore, for Hassan, whether or not he wore a mask was no longer important, since the power of nothingness had completely covered his body, and he had become a humanoid nothingness monster.

Looking at this half-elf, she seemed very uncomfortable making eye contact with Xue Luding, so she slowly turned her head away.

“You may have misunderstood something. I didn’t do anything to you. It’s just that I saved a fairy queen before, and in gratitude, she gave me a blessing called ‘Fairy Love.’ The abnormality you felt was probably just the effect of this blessing on you.” Xue Dinglu said, and began to put on Hassan’s mask.

It was a comical clown mask, a comedic face made of gilded metal, with exaggeratedly upturned corners of the mouth. Anyone who saw it felt as if all smiles were superimposed on it, and their mouths would even uncontrollably tear to their ears.

However, as soon as Xue Dinglu put on the mask, the half-elf instantly felt that the strange feeling and attraction disappeared. She breathed a sigh of relief, but at the same time, a feeling of "loss" rose in her heart.

Seeing Xue Luding wearing this mask, she slowly said, "Thank you... I misunderstood you before..."

Perhaps there's also guilt.

Xue Law doesn't know, but in any case, her favorability rating has reached 89.

Xue's Law: "..."

What the heck? How come your favorability rating is so ridiculously high? Even Fafnir, who has the highest favorability rating against me so far, only has this much favorability rating.

Xue Dinglu couldn't help but complain, saying that the half-elf race is really something else, as they get a full load of debuffs whenever they see Xue Dinglu.

The two were huddled against the wall in a corner of the hall of the abandoned castle. Not far away was the noble lady, and a little further away was the baron.

In the middle of the group was a ball of holy light that provided warmth.

The object, hand-rubbed by Xue, resembles a small sun that continuously radiates heat, providing illumination while also offering warmth to others.

This is why no one doubted Xue Luding's claim of being a priest; after all, his ability to manipulate holy light was truly astonishing to people in the low-magic world.

The castle is located by the coast, and when you lean against the wall, you can almost hear the sound of the sea, as if the waves are right behind you.

"Father, do you have no prejudice against half-elves?" the half-elf asked slowly, still burying his face in his hood.

Xue's Law: "..."

Oh no, why does this feel like it's coming for me?

Is it about to come up with some nonsensical phrase like "The moonlight is so beautiful" or "You are so gentle"?

Xue's Law is very sensitive to this, mainly because he has experienced it so much that he has become numb to it.

"Hmm..." He simply replied with a lukewarm response.

“I don’t know who my father is, but I do know that 17 years ago, the Elf King personally led an army to war against the Duchy. My village was one of the battlefields at that time, and I am the bastard child left in my mother’s womb by some unknown elf…”

Looking at Xue Luding's sphere of holy light, feeling its warmth, and hearing the sound of the sea behind her, she slowly recounted her past.

Xue's Law: "..."

Even the Mimic King seemed to see Xue's predicament and complained, "What's wrong with you sweating so much? I didn't see you this nervous when you faced the First Apostle's oppression in the Mist Council."

"Quiet, I want some peace and quiet..." Xue Luding dispelled the unreliable Mimic King, telling Him to either watch quietly, or start thinking about how to find the Seventh Apostle, or how to complete the ritual without killing anyone.

"It's actually very simple. I can complete the ritual without killing them. Others may be helpless against this ritual that the Seventh Apostle created through his authority, but I happen to be an expert."

“Wait a moment, continue with the storyline. I can even replace the original ritual with your ‘Innovation Era’ ritual,” said the Mimic King. “At that time, you can even replace the Seventh Apostle and become the world consciousness of this subspace.”

"Okay... can we skip the story?"
