Advent of the Archmage Chapter 505

One-eyed Giant Gorge

The One-eyed Giant that brought Link back didn't know what had happened . Seeing the one-eyed king yell while kneeling before him, he waved his hands immediately .

"King, king, I'm not god's messenger . I'm Auka . Don't you recognize me?"

The one-eyed king lost his temper . He grabbed a three-foot-wide rock and hurled it at the giant Auka . "You idiot," he exclaimed . "The god's messenger is above your head!"

Auka's head started bleeding from the hit . He clutched his head and scurried away .

Link flew down and hovered around 100 feet from the one-eyed king . "Why do you call me god's messenger?" he asked curiously .

Seeing that Link could fly without wings, the one-eyed king grew even more reverent . He prostrated himself on the ground and looked up . "God once gave an oracle," he said respectfully . "If someone who looks exactly like him appears one day, he'll be the messenger that was sent to save us sinners . "

"God? Oracle?" Link was even more confused . Did the God of Light do this? It didn't seem right though . If it was the God of Light, the game system would notify him . It wouldn't be so quiet like now .

Of course, the system might not have felt the need to notify him . But was there a need to be so mysterious about this?

The one-eyed king nodded furiously . "Yes, an oracle . We pass it down every generation . It won't be wrong . Not only do you look exactly the same as in the oracle, but you also appeared at the same time too . "

This explanation shocked Link . The detail about his appearance raised some alarms in his mind .

Since the oracle said that the god's messenger would appear at this time, then he was sure that he wasn't it . The true messenger would very possibly arrive soon .

Gods couldn't just come to the mortal world, but if the god's messenger wanted to win over these mortals, they had to be at least at the Legendary level . If they were unfriendly, it would be problematic .

Thinking of this, Link said, "Since he's a god, you must have a statue . Let me see it . "

"Yes, Messenger . " The one-eyed king stood up and walked deep into the gorge . Link hovered in the air and followed 100 feet behind him .

Along the way, many One-eyed Giants looked at him curiously . Perhaps because they feared the lord, they watched from afar without getting close .

The gorge was huge . It was at least six miles long and almost 2000 feet wide . Going down the path, Link discovered that there were many giants here of all gender and age . They were all naked too . Of the 600 or so giants, there were at least 200 in their prime .

Seeing Link study his people, the one-eyed king said in disdain, "Messenger, those guys are all brainless idiots . They don't even deserve to be mentioned . "

Link didn't think so though . They were all strong Warriors above Level-8 . The one-eyed king was at the pinnacle of Level-9 . Other than the king who was smart and difficult to fool, the others seemed easily satisfied . If they were given nice food and clothes that only the leader wore, they would probably work for Link .

Such powerful strength and large bodies would become machines of terror on the battlefield . Of course, Link didn't know if that would work before he understood the situation of the island .

Around ten minutes later, Link followed the one-eyed king to the end of the gorge . It was empty here, without a single giant . The terrain was flat too . A white 250-foot-tall statue stood in the center .

The statue looked exactly like a human . Studying it, Link's features did look somewhat like it, but just a little . Actually, Link had a really plain face, so he looked similar to almost every human .

To a human, he would look very different from the statue . To a foreign race, there was no difference . (It was hard for anyone to distinguish faces of another race . For example, two dogs might look the same to you . ) It was normal to get the wrong person .

Thud . The one-eyed king was already on the ground . "This is the mighty Thoreau," he said . "He has always been protecting our island from being invaded by evil, but evil has never left . He is patrolling outside the island, waiting for a chance to come devour our souls . Thus, the mighty Thoreau left the oracle that 1000 years later, his messenger would return and help us defeat the evil once and for all . "

With that, he turned to Link . His yellow eye was filled with fervor . "Now you really are here . We can finally be free of the evil threat . "

Link was totally confused . He'd never heard of the mighty Thoreau before—not in the books he'd read or in the game… Wait, something flashed past his mind . It was a memory about the game .

It was really fleeting . Link had probably glanced at the information before but didn't read it carefully .

He fell silent and worked on getting rid of distracting thoughts . He wanted to reconstruct that wisp of smoke-like memory . It was useless . He only had a vague impression . The memory remained in a nameless corner, deep in his mind . The more he tried to remember, the less he could .

Since he couldn't remember, Link could only give up . "What evil do you mean?" he asked .

"The evil outside the island . They're everywhere in the sea . They capsize all the ships, cover the sky, and blocked all ways for us to contact the mainland of light . That isn't important now though . You're here, and even the sky is brighter!"

Link was shocked . He paid attention to one detail . "You said they cover the sky?"

He could personally verify this . When he and Gretel entered the Firuman Realm and was miles in the air, he was sure that nothing was covering the sky .

However, Link then remembered that Gretel had told him that 400 years ago, she'd traveled throughout the realm with her mother . They hadn't seen such a large island . To them, the Isle of Dawn was the biggest island .

This meant that the sky had once been covered, but now it was gone . It had disappeared within these 400 years .

But why?

Link's thoughts whirred and quickly thought of two possibilities . One, the god's messenger had already appeared, but the one-eyed king didn't know . Two, the evil that the king spoke of had internal conflicts .

The first was much more possible .

Then, is this messenger a friend or a foe?

Link didn't know . He only knew that this island wasn't as safe as he'd thought . Both the evil in the sea and Thoreau's messenger threatened them .

Thinking of this, Link ignored the one-eyed king . The space around him blurred slightly . This was the sign of the Void Walk operating at the extreme .

The next instant, there was a boom . Sound waves spread in all direction, forcing the one-eyed king back when he was hit . At the same time, Link disappeared .

He flew back to the castle . In mid-air, his mind flashed . He thought of why the name Thoreau was familiar .

On the world channel of the game, there was a notification that a player found a treasure . The notifications here moved really quickly, and players always found treasures . Link had just glanced at it casually .

With this clue, Link thought back a bit deeper . More and more information was dragged out .

Evil God Thoreau, eternal prison, perfect fraud, committing horrors in the name of justice… There wasn't much, but the words kept jumping out . They were all bad news too, but it was what the notification had included .

This was all Link knew . He didn't know about any details, but it was enough to put him on high alert . He was less than 100 miles from the castle . With his speed, he could get there within five minutes .

Four minutes later, the castle appeared in his vision . Nothing was strange . From afar, Link saw Gretel washing herbs by the creek near the castle . The five mixed demons were helping her . Everything looked normal .

He was slightly relieved . Slowing down, he adjusted his direction and flew to Gretel . When he landed slowly, the kids stood up immediately and greeted him . "Housekeeper . "

Link nodded . Then he said to Gretel in the lingua franca, "Tellie, I think I know why we were mistaken for god's messenger . "

"Oh?" Gretel arched an eyebrow . "Tell me . "

Link told her everything he'd heard along the way, including the details about the Evil God and fraud . When he was done, Gretel furrowed her brows . "I heard some legends from these little guys . There's also a mighty figure, but in the legend, he saved the world . "

Just in case, Gretel didn't say Thoreau's name . She knew that if he really was a god, he would be alerted if she said his name aloud .

Link thought about it . "The legends don't contradict with what I heard . It's just that one is on the surface while the other is deeper . From what I know, gods are all difficult to figure out . If this mighty person really is a god, no one would know what he wants… I think we should prepare well or leave quickly . "

"You're right . Did you get herbs?"

"Of course . I got a lot . " Link took out all the herbs he'd picked along the way . It was a few hundred pounds .

Gretel checked all of them and then chuckled . "It's enough . I'm not strong enough so you'll have to make the potion for me . I'll instruct you . "

"Got it . "
