"Why are you so serious?"

"Is there really no hope?" Ji Feng was stunned by Jansett's words.

"There is hope, but the difficulty is too great." Seeing that Ji Feng didn't reply, Juste said, "The Spring of Life of the Elves can break all curses. That is the holy land of the Elves, and it's guarded very strictly. Unless the Elves bring you there, no one else can enter."

Bornan was a loser, but he had read many books and had received almost all of them. The monsoon, which he remembered, naturally knew of the Fairies' spring of life. He had already thought of the Spring of Life when he was under the curse. Just like what Jansett had said, unless the elves brought them there, it was impossible to enter. Moreover, the Spring of Life was not limitless, even within the Elven race, not everyone could enjoy it.

Ji Feng's heart felt like it was on the verge of death. He did not expect that he would be unable to escape death even after so much trouble. The mental adjustment ability of the monsoon is not comparable to that of ordinary people. His expression quickly returned to its previous indifference, and so did his heart. Died right now. Although he was very unwilling, he felt that he had already earned quite a bit. At the very least, he was able to see a new world, and it was also the world that was right next to this world.

Jansett was very surprised to see that Ji Feng's expression returned to normal in an instant, not even showing any signs of worry. As the Bishop of the Great Cathedral of the Imperial Capital of Manchester, he was away most of the year, but it did not prevent him from knowing what was going on there like the back of his hand. Moreover, his vision wasn't something an ordinary person could compare to.

Now, before this, the entire Radiant Church had been searching for Melinda. When he saw Melinda and Ji Feng, he naturally saw the miserable appearances of the two of them. He knew that what had happened to the two of them must have been amazing. However, neither of them had any intention of explaining in detail, so he didn't ask either. However, even if he didn't ask, it didn't mean that others wouldn't ask. Thinking about it, when Melinda returned to the headquarters of the Church, she would definitely be questioned by the Pope.

In his mind, the monsoon should have been a loser, but at the moment he was not acting like a loser at all.

At this time, Ji Feng spoke, "How long can you suppress the curse on my body for?"

"Half a year at most. Half a year later, even if I help you suppress it again, I won't be able to maintain it for another half month. I don't need to suppress it a third time."

"Then I'll be troubling you."

"Are you ready? I'm going to start now. "

"It's done."

Jansett walked to stand opposite of Ji Feng and started to chant. Through the pineal gland on his forehead, which was where the Heaven's Eyes were, Just-Wind could see the wood and water elemental Qi of Heaven and Earth converging together. To use the concept of this world, it was water and wood.

With Jansett's chant, a ball of light the size of a soccer ball gradually formed, slowly moving towards the monsoon. The moment Jansett finished his incantation, the ball of light suddenly accelerated. When it reached Ji Feng, it directly entered his body through his chest.

Ji Feng immediately felt that all the cells in his body were full of energy and his body was much more relaxed. He didn't need to look to know that the swelling was fading at a rate visible to the naked eye.

Once again, Ji Feng was amazed by the training system of this world. The cost of technological development was huge, and the training civilization was not perfect either. If the two combined, then the power displayed should be very great. Ji Feng thought to himself.

Thinking about this, Ji Feng could not help but despise himself. A dying man actually wanted something unrealistic?

When Ji Feng saw the beads of sweat on Janslette's forehead, he knew that the consumption of a healing spell was enormous. He did not move, allowing the green and white mass of light to nourish his body that was destroyed by the curse. After ten minutes, it was finally over.

Sensing the change in his body, Ji Feng sincerely thanked Juste, who was sitting on a chair. Jansett only nodded, but said nothing.

He did not say anything, but Ji Feng spoke up. "Archbishop, please do something."

"Go ahead."

"Don't tell my family the truth about me, and about Melinda."

Jansett jerked his head up and stared into Ji Feng's eyes for a few seconds, then slowly nodded his head and said, "Yes."

"Thank you."

"No need. Even if we don't do it on account of Melinda, my relationship with the Winston Family is pretty good. Moreover, this is just a small matter."

"Then I won't disturb you any longer. If I come back alive, I'll come and express my gratitude."

Jansett's eyes were filled with interest as he said, "Are you planning to go to the holy land of the elves?"

"I want to try. Maybe I can succeed?"

Jansett nodded. "I wish you success."

"Thank you, I won't disturb you any longer."

"En." Jansett nodded and didn't say anything else.

Returning to the courtyard, Ji Feng was in no hurry to leave. He wanted to say goodbye to Melinda before leaving. He had only been standing in the yard for five minutes when she hurried up to him.

Seeing the Ji Feng waiting for her in the courtyard, a happy smile immediately appeared on her face. She rushed towards the Ji Feng, and when she arrived, she habitually jumped into the embrace of the Ji Feng. However, he was stopped by Ji Feng.

Seeing the puzzlement in Melinda's eyes, Ji Feng said gently, "This is a church. If we get too intimate with each other, it will definitely reach your father. I don't want you to be questioned."

After knowing the truth of what Ji Feng said, Melinda felt a little disappointed.

At this time, Ji Feng spoke, "My wife, you are so beautiful."

At this moment, Melinda was wearing a snow-white priest robe, her recently washed hair still emitting a thick moisture. It was casually draped over her back, and her entire body exuded an otherworldly aura. It is a blasphemy to give birth to unclean thoughts.

She thought of something and said, "Just now they told me that in three months time, there will be the coronation of the Holy Maiden. Will you come with me?"

Seeing the look of anticipation in Melinda's eyes, Ji Feng hardened his heart and said, "I can't accompany you any longer. My family thinks that something has happened to me, so I have to rush back and explain to them. Three months later, I will come to the Holy See's headquarters to find you."

Although she was very disappointed, she was not picky about what Ji Feng said, because she knew what he said was the truth.

She said, "You must come. If my father rejects your proposal, you don't need to be discouraged. I will cultivate diligently and strive to become the Pope. At that time, I will make my own decision to be your wife."

"You have to work hard. I really look forward to being able to crush the Pope beneath me. Heh heh heh ?"

"Alright, we have a deal. I will definitely become the Pope."

"It seems I'll have to hope that your father disagrees with us. Heh heh heh ?"

"Why? "In that case, you won't be able to become a pope anymore, hahaha ?"

Melinda raised her fist and said, "I will become the first Holy Emperor of the Radiant Church. The first thing I will do is to make it clear that the Holy Maiden can also be married off."

"Heh heh heh ?"

At the request of Melinda, Monsoon washed up in the church, changed into the clothes that Melinda had prepared for him, and left. Melinda walked him to the door and watched his back completely disappear. She had no intention of turning back.

After leaving the church, Ji Feng did not turn around. He was afraid that he would not want to leave once he turned around. He had no confidence in what he was about to do. It was because of this that he left so decisively. Even if Melinda hated him for the rest of his life, he wouldn't mind.

After leaving the church, the monsoon rode the warhorse that Melinda had prepared for him south. As long as they passed through three small towns, they would reach the Beastman Country that occupied the land of the bountiful prairie. If you continued south, you would have to cross the vast territory occupied by the Druids, and that would be the Kingdom of the Elves. In fact, the elves had two countries. The ones next to the Druids were Light Elves, which was what everyone called Elves. The Spring of Life belonged to this race. Further south were the Dark Elves.

According to the legends, the Dark Elves are a branch of the demon race. It's a pity that after the demons left the Mo Continent, the Dark Elves stayed behind for some reason." Due to the fact that they used dark magic, they were known as the Dark Elves. The two Fairies couldn't tell from their appearances. They could only distinguish them during a battle. In addition, they were all skilled in archery and lived on the Tree of Life. Thus, no matter how one looked at it, they were still considered to be of the same race. However, they didn't think so themselves. As soon as they saw each other, they would be at each other's throats, and the enmity between the two races would become irreconcilable. The battle had gone on for many years, and no one had been able to wipe them out. On the contrary, due to the years of war between the two sides, their strength had been greatly reduced, giving other races an opportunity to take advantage of them. Originally, the Druid's territory was only half the size, but because of the war between the two sides, the Druid who was known for being peaceful and close to nature took the opportunity to double his territory. The criminals who had been wanted by the countries in the southern regions of the Kradys Mountain Range had taken advantage of this opportunity to gain a foothold. They had expanded the area under their control to be larger than the territory of the Dark Elves, only slightly larger than that of the Light Elves. In the end, the intelligent individuals from both races decisively ended their many years of battle, and drew a boundary. and restrain their own people from provoking a dispute. The war was over, but the lost land of the two races could not be reclaimed.

Although the war between the two races had stopped, there were still small skirmishes between them. The two races would still clash even if they met outside. If the difference in strength between the two sides was too great, a massacre would still occur. As a result, both sides often encountered deadlocked warriors at their borders.

It was precisely because the war between the two sides had consumed a large amount of their elemental energy that the strength of the elven clans, which were originally extremely powerful on the continent, had rapidly declined. They were now at the bottom. However, within the range of the Tree of Life, the elves were almost invincible. Therefore, no other race could take advantage of their weakened state to subdue them. Even though the Spring of Life made all the races salivate, but because of the Tree of Life as a barrier, no one had ever been able to penetrate deep into the heart of the Elves and attack the Spring of Life that was regarded as a holy land by the Elves.

The monsoon estimated that it would take at least three months to travel from Boya City to the land of the Elves. Moreover, he couldn't afford to delay any longer. This was the only hope for Ji Feng. He had to rush to the territory of the elves within half a year and find the Spring of Life to enter. This was a little too difficult, no one thought that the monsoon would be able to do it. Even Ji Feng himself thought so. However, this was his only hope. He could only give it his all. He had no other choice. Of course, if he could find a Divine level cultivator to help, the curse on his body wouldn't be a problem. However, the people of the continent never knew that there were Divine level cultivators there, while there were a few Saint level cultivators.

Without any delay, on the third day, they arrived at the small town, Starland Forest, at the border with the Beastman Empire. Further south would be the Beastman Empire.

Due to their proximity to the border, the local residents of the town weren't many. However, there were quite a few people in the town. Most of them were mercenaries or merchants. Although the Manchester Empire and the Beastman Empire often had conflicts, the trade between them was still very popular. The orc empire had a lot of ore, but the Manchester Empire had a lot of advanced technology. The Orc Empire provided all sorts of selected ores, while the Manchester Empire provided all sorts of sophisticated equipment. Of course, the two sides did not publicly engage in business, everything here was a matter for the merchants. Because of this, the mercenary industry was very popular here. Because the merchants coming and going from both sides were not protected by the state, the merchants could only hire mercenaries to protect their personal property and to protect their own interests. All of this brought a perverted prosperity to this small border town.

The wide streets were filled with carts of goods. Magical beasts could be seen pulling carts, and mercenaries with strong killing intent could be seen. Ji Feng's expression did not change. After passing through two small towns, they arrived at a place where the sky was about to turn dark. Since they were going to cross the border into the Beastman Empire, Ji Feng did not plan to travel through the night. Moreover, he might not even be able to travel through the night. In order to avoid trouble, he needed to use his identity as a mercenary or a merchant group to cover his tracks. Because these people frequently entered and left the border, they treated the soldiers on both sides with respect. In a situation where there was no war, they did not have to worry about their goods being stopped.

Because it was already evening, many hotels were already packed. Ji Feng had to ask five hotels in a row to find an unoccupied room. Furthermore, the price was shockingly high, five gold coins a night. The hotel's environment wasn't very good, but the price was comparable to the hotels in a large city.

Of course, Ji Feng would not complain about the high price of the hotels here. He immediately ordered the waiters to handle the formalities when he saw that there were still rooms available.

After checking in, Ji Feng said, "Get me something to eat. Give me two of the best dishes in your restaurant. What are the main dishes in your restaurant?"

"Sir, our shop just bought a young lizard from a group of mercenaries at noon. Our barbecue is near the end ?"

At this point, the waiter stopped and waited for Ji Feng to continue. Ji Feng knew what he meant and nodded, "Then give me two catties of wine and half a pot of it. It's the kind without water. I don't like eating in my room. Find me a seat in the lobby outside and I'll be right down. "

As Ji Feng spoke, he took out a silver coin and gave it to the waiter, "This is for you."

"Thank you, sir, I will prepare them for you right away." The waiter immediately thanked him profusely and left.

The only thing in the room was a single bed. The bedding on the bed was not clean either. There was also a small square table and two chairs. There was also a teapot and two glasses on the small square table. The teapot and teacup were clean compared to the bedding. Nevertheless, Ji Feng did not intend to use the tea set to drink water. He did not stay long in the room.

Most of the hotels in the town were small restaurants in the front and lodging in the back. This house was no exception. The moment Ji Feng walked into the main hall, the waiter who had collected one silver coin immediately walked over and greeted him: "Sir, over here."

The waiter gave Ji Feng a seat at a small table in the northwest corner. There were only two seats on the table. No matter if it was the mercenaries or the merchants, they were not the only ones here. As a result, the seat specially prepared for a single person or even one or two people was temporarily empty. Even though most of the seats were already occupied.

The waiter wiped up all the tables and chairs for Ji Feng, then poured a cup of water for Ji Feng. He then apologized to Ji Feng and went to greet the other guests.

Ji Feng didn't wait long before a plate of sliced meat was sent over. Looking at the fragrant golden barbecue, Ji Feng's appetite was triggered. He held the jug to his nose and took a sniff. The wine was not bad, so he poured himself a cup. He took a sip, then a few more. He used his fork to fork out a piece of sliced meat and stuffed it into his mouth.

Beneath the crispy and fragrant skin was the fresh and tender meat of a dragon lizard. Along with the ingredients from the barbecue, it could be said to be both delicious and tender on the outside. Ji Feng's appetite was stirred. He ate three pieces of roasted meat consecutively before raising his wine cup and gulping down the remaining wine in one gulp.

He put down the glass and filled it up. Ji Feng picked up his fork and was about to put a piece into his mouth when he saw a handsome young man in a blue warrior suit walking towards him. Ji Feng only glanced at him for a moment, but didn't pay any attention to him. He continued to stuff the meat into his mouth and chewed it a few times. Then, he picked up the wine glass and took a sip. What followed next was a look of enjoyment and intoxication. "He ignored the handsome blond guy sitting across from him.

At this time, the young man spoke, "Brother, I've used up all my money, can you treat me to a meal?"

Hearing his words, Ji Feng, who was about to fork out another piece of roasted meat, put down his fork and calmly looked at the other party. Then, he said, "Your skin looks alright. Why don't you find a woman to chat with? "With your looks, as long as you use a bit of your skills, do you still worry about not having enough money?"

"We met by chance, why do you speak so viciously?" The young man said, but he didn't look angry.

"It's very simple. I want you to retreat when you know the difficulties."

The young man smiled and said, "You are very interesting. I think we will be friends. What do you think?"

"If you can wait until I've finished eating before you speak, we might really be friends."

"I'll be very sad if you say that."

"Young people need to learn to be strong. They can't be depressed because they haven't made friends, and even more so, they can't give up their own lives." As Ji Feng was speaking, he put a piece of barbecue meat into his mouth and slowly chewed it.

Seeing that Ji Feng had no intention to treat him to food, the young man turned his head and shouted, "Waiter, serve me another plate of barbecue and a pot of wine." Before he left, he added, "First, bring me a set of tableware. Don't forget the wine cup."

Ji Feng did not say anything but continued eating. The waiter quickly brought out a set of tableware. The young man did not hold back as he picked up a fork and stabbed it towards the roasted meat in front of Ji Feng. Ji Feng didn't expect the other party to disregard him so much. Smiling faintly, he pushed his plate forward. As the table was not too big, he had even pushed the plate across the middle line.

The young man was very surprised by Ji Feng's actions. Even so, he did not stop and directly put a piece of meat into his mouth.

"Not bad, this is the third time I've eaten barbecue from this house. I bet when this lizard was hunted, it was only seven to eight months old at most."

Ji Feng raised his wine pot and poured a cup of wine for the young man, saying at the same time, "Friend, isn't it time for you to introduce yourself?"

The young man raised his glass and drained it in one gulp. Then he swallowed the roast meat in his mouth and said, "My name is Archimedes. I am relieved."

"Relax about what?"

"We're friends now, so I don't need to worry about being beaten without someone paying the bill." As Archimedes spoke, his hand did not slow down in the least, but he forked three pieces of barbecue into his mouth, and at the same time, he was enjoying himself. He took the jug of wine and poured himself a glass, which he drank in one gulp and then another.

Ji Feng saw that this fella didn't even take him to be an outsider, so he just buried his head in the food. He didn't say anything else, just picked up a piece of roasted meat and stuffed it into his mouth.

Two pounds of barbecue, only a quarter eaten by the monsoon, and the rest of the meat went into Archimedes' belly. Archimedes had to put down his fork because the added meat had not yet arrived.

"Friend, what do you do?"

"I'm here to do business."

"Oh, I assume your voice isn't very good."

"How do you know?"

"I guessed."

"Bro, your guess is right."

Ji Feng didn't expect that after eating his food and drinking his wine, he would still bullsh * t with him in the end.

Seeing the expression on Ji Feng's face, Archimedes said, "Friend, why are you so serious?"
