There has always been a thorn in Tanan's heart, which is like a poison attached to his bones and always torments him.
Every time he lost his memory and was reincarnated, Tanan would regain his memory after becoming a demigod and recall the scenes he had spent with Yara, and at the same time recall the despair he felt when El Zeus told him the truth.
When his memory is restored, Tanan will once again feel the passionate love he once had with Yara.
The sweeter the love, the bitterer the poison hidden behind it.
At the same time, he would experience once again the humiliation of being attacked by El Zeus.
Before Qi Ge spoke, Tanan always believed that this love affair, which could never be conveyed and whose very existence was a conspiracy, was a psychological shadow that he would never be able to get rid of in his life.
So, when Qi Ge said that Yara was not El Zeus but a real person, the fire in Tanan's heart rose again.
He desperately wanted to know the answer from Qi Ge's mouth, and hoped that Qi Ge's answer would be reasonable enough to convince him.
Qi Ge certainly saw this point. He dared to say so, so he was certainly not talking nonsense - Yala was the white moonlight that Tanan could not let go of, and also the shadow that entangled him. If he lied about Yara and was discovered by Tanan, the consequences would be very serious.
Qi Ge took out his magic book, flipped through it quickly, and quickly turned to the column of adventure magic.
He pointed at the magic book and said to Tanan:
"Your Excellency Tanan, to be honest, I am the apostle of the Goddess of Magic.
As the most devout believer of the Magic Goddess, I received this unique magic from her in the Yasa world."
"True God-level Disguise Technique?" Tanan's pupils shrank.
"Although you cannot use it here because of the seal of the Forest of Wisdom, the divinity of this magic cannot deceive anyone. This is definitely a true god-level magic that is close to the rule level and cannot be mastered by even false gods."
“Yes.” Qi Ge nodded vigorously: “Strictly speaking, the True God-level Disguise Technique is not my magic, but the blessing given to Shion by the goddess, but this does not prevent me from using this magic.
I may be the only one in the entire Yasa world who possesses the true god-level disguise technique. When it comes to disguise techniques, no one is more proficient than me.
I remember you wrote in your diary that you buried Yara's body with your own hands.
I believe that you, who love Yara deeply, must have checked and confirmed Yara's death countless times.
I can tell you very clearly that even if it is a true god-level disguise technique, the magical effect will be lifted after death, and it cannot be used on a corpse.
Not to mention other disguise methods that are not at the level of true god.
Even a demigod-level disguise technique would be removed within ten minutes of being attacked.
The time you and Yara competed in fighting skills and talked about your ideal life afterwards definitely lasted more than 10 minutes.
To take a step back, even if El Zeus possessed a true god-level camouflage technique that could withstand attacks without being removed, he would not be able to have his clones Gavin or Magnus disguise themselves as Yara's bodies.
Therefore, it is impossible that Yara was disguised by El Zeus using the camouflage technique.
Besides the disguise method, there are other methods, such as stone puppets, corpse control, etc. I believe that you, who have carefully examined Yara's death, will not fail to discover the clues. "
Tanan's pupils shrank and he was thinking frantically in his mind.
Emotionally he was willing to believe what Qi Ge said, but reason told him that this was not enough to prove that Yara was not El Zeus.
He said to Qi Ge: "When Yara died, I was still very weak and didn't know much about magic. At that time, even if El Zeus faked his death, I might not be able to detect it."
Qi Ge smiled slightly and said:
"I have another piece of evidence."
He took out a pile of books and said to Tanan:
“These are the documents related to Bracada [Barbarian Colony] that I obtained through certain means.
Among them, a large number of books mentioned a group of barbarians who disobeyed the management of the wizard and caused destruction everywhere.
According to records, these barbarian groups came from a tribe called Jala.
Your Excellency, do you remember that Yara never told you the name of her tribe? Why do you think she kept it secret?"
The Seven Pigeons asked themselves and answered:
"Because the tribe she belonged to before was the [Jara], and the [Jara] tribe, like the killed Kerr, are all descendants of the [Barbarian King Jag]!"
"What!" Tanan was shocked.
Qi Ge continued:
“Jag is the emperor who united the barbarians and expanded their territory. How could he have only one child?
In fact, according to the records I found, he had a total of six male descendants.
The bard also told you before that the Barbarian Empire fell because of the Jaggar's children fighting for the throne.
Among these six male descendants, two branches survived, one was the Kelna lineage, and the other was the Jara tribe lineage.
The name Yara, if read in the barbarian language of the Barbarian Kingdom period, means princess.
I even suspect that the name Yara is a pseudonym.
Your Excellency Tanan, I can tell you with certainty that Yara is the descendant of the barbarian king Jag, whom you worship.
On the battlefield at that time, there were not only the rising new king and the corrupt descendants of the old king, but also the dazzling pearls left behind by the old king.
And that dazzling pearl has always been with you."
"It's really like this..." Tanan was confused for a moment by the shock and was greatly shaken.
For hundreds of years, he always believed that Yara was El Zeus and had been brooding over it, but now, everything seemed different.
Seeing this, Qi Ge immediately used his ultimate move: "There is also a most crucial piece of evidence.
Lord Tanan, do you remember that Yara told you that she rebelled against Bracada earlier than you did?
You may have misunderstood. This "earlier" does not mean shortly before you started the rebellion.
The Jarrah tribe was destroyed and the wandering barbarians were harassing the Bracada barbarian colony six years before you launched the rebellion!
Yes, Yara led the survivors of the Jarra tribe and fought against Bracada through guerrilla warfare for six full years!
These documents contain many records of the suppression of the Jarrah tribe, covering a period of more than six years. They are an extremely complete and unforged chain of evidence.
Bracada has used methods such as bounty orders, gradually shrinking the encirclement, and even blocked the swamp, but none of these have succeeded in destroying Yara and the others.
As Yara herself said, she and her people were a thorn in Bracada's back.
Your Excellency Tanan, please think carefully about this. El Zeus, a guy who doesn't even believe in the goddess of fate, how could he have the ability to predict the future, allowing him to transform into Yara six years in advance and play the cat-and-mouse game with his men in the barbarian colony for a full six years, just for the last month or so to come and deceive you?
Is that reasonable? It’s not reasonable.”
While listening to Qi Ge's words, Tanan quickly checked the scrolls and books that Qi Ge brought.
Qi Ge was very considerate and attached labels to all the records about the Jala tribe so that Tanan could find them easily.
Tanan's hands were shaking slightly with excitement, and the expression on his face was so complicated that even Qi Ge couldn't understand it - joy, anger, confusion, doubt and all kinds of emotions were mixed on his face.
Since Tanan's expression was too difficult to interpret, Qi Ge decided to help him unify his expression.
He said in a deep voice:
“Also, there is another doubt.
Yara and her tribe operated in the barbarian colony for six years and never failed.
Then why was she caught and killed by a trap set by the wizard not long after she met you ? How could it be such a coincidence?
Putting all the information I had together, this is the story I got:
Six years ago, Yala's tribe was dissatisfied with the rule of the mages and rebelled many times, and a large number of men were massacred by the mages.
In order to survive, Yala had to hide with the women of the tribe and bury this hatred in his heart.
When everything settled down, Yara organized people to continue sabotage and harassment in the barbarian colonies to resist the mages of Bracada.
Time flies and 6 years have passed.
In the far northern wilderness, you have eliminated Bracada's representatives in the Barbarian Colony and formed an army of Barbarian resistance.
At this time, El Zeus got your news.
You are invincible and have fought your way to the southern part of the Barbarian Colony, where you are temporarily blocked.
You spread the news of Emperor Jag to the surrounding barbarian tribes, which attracted the attention of Yara, a descendant of Jag.
She is observing you by offering you assistance, wanting to confirm whether you are sincere about fighting Bracada.
During this period, you developed a deep friendship with her.
Although she didn't directly join your forces, she has been doing her best to help you.
She is willing to take on all dangerous tasks, including being a spy to gather intelligence, recruiting people for you, etc.
It’s hard not to say it’s love.”
Qi Ge paused for a moment, then said calmly:
“In fact, when I was reading the diary, I already felt it. Although Yara didn’t say it explicitly, she must have fallen in love with you a long time ago.
The evidence is that she once put her feet on your legs.
Why didn't she put her foot on Hadar's lap? Why didn't she put it on any other man's lap, but on your lap?
There is no doubt that this is a very ambiguous and provocative behavior.
If she wasn't in love with you, she would have no reason to do this.
Lord Tanan, think about it carefully. You are a girl whose family was destroyed when you were young. You carry a huge hatred on your shoulders. You have an enemy who is so powerful that it is difficult to understand, and you can never see the hope of revenge.
At this time, a young, handsome, strong and brave barbarian stood up to fight against your enemies. At the same time, the barbarian worshipped his ancestors and shared the same ideas with you.
How dreamy is this? Yara must have fallen in love with you by then.
The descendants of the old queen, who carry a deep hatred, meet the new king who fights for fairness for the barbarians. The two of them appreciate each other, share the same ideals, and fall in love with each other. Together, they fight against the evil wizard who oppresses the barbarians.
This should have been a very beautiful story.
But therein lies the problem: Al Zeus.
El Zeus' goal is to recruit you as his younger brother. How could he allow you to become a powerful hero when you are mentally normal, have a sunny attitude, and are full of human brilliance?
He wants to destroy your will and lead you into darkness step by step.
As a demigod, it was easy for him to deal with you who were still immature at that time.
It is very likely that at that time, your every move was under the surveillance of El Zeus.
It is almost impossible to master a camouflage technique that can perfectly disguise even a corpse.
But it is much easier to master magic such as invisibility, seeing through the earth, and seeing through the atmosphere.
Al Zeus definitely has those magics.
The only one who noticed something unusual was the elder goblin under your command.
He was so smart and confident before, why did he suddenly go crazy? I think it is very likely that he noticed something was wrong, but for some reason he couldn't warn you.
Oh, that's another matter. We'll discuss it in detail later. I also have many questions for you about the elder goblins. Now let's get back to the topic."
Qi Ge continued:
“When El Zeus discovered that Yara could bring you a lot of beautiful positive emotions, he took decisive action.
With his power, Yara would have nowhere to escape with just a little trick.
You and Yara loved each other deeply, and her sudden tragic death marked the beginning of your downfall.
Your pure public spirit as a barbarian is mixed with the selfish desire for revenge, making it no longer pure and ideal, which makes your behavior more eager for quick success.
The desire for quick success and instant benefits is often accompanied by going to extremes.
After you finally became a demigod, El Zeus decided to officially take action and reap the fruits of the harvest.
He wants to completely destroy your will and leave in your mind the impression that he is powerful and invincible.
It is not enough to defeat you with force, but also to defeat your heart and your will.
Because of this, he, who knows you and Yara's past very well, used disguise to deceive you and waver your mind from the very beginning of your meeting.
He succeeded, and you were too shocked to think and completely believed his lies.
After that, you couldn't find a way to verify the authenticity, and Yara's incident became an indelible nightmare in your mind.
This means that not only did El Zeus plot to kill your most beloved woman, he also shamelessly used her appearance to torture and attack you mentally."
Qi Ge paused for a moment and asked seriously:
"Your Excellency Tanan, which story do you think is more reasonable, this one or the other, the one where El Zeus foresaw your rise six years ago, and Yara waited for you for six years?"
Tanan put down the file in his hand, closed his eyes and remained silent.
Qi Ge could feel that Tanan's anger hidden in silence was brewing.
If it was the young Tanan, Qi Ge believed that he would have raised his battle axe and started to vent his anger.
But the current Tanan, after several reincarnations, is no longer the same as before.
"Huh~" Tanan opened his eyes, nodded deeply to Qige, and said:
“Thank you for clearing up the confusion and doubts that have been lingering in my mind.
You have been so attentive in helping me restore the original truth. I will always remember this kindness in my heart."
[System prompts, congratulations to the player for completing the task [The Knot in the Heart That Cannot Be Untied].]
[System prompt: Tanan's favorability towards you +20. Currently 30 (thank you))]
"That's good." Tanan stood up and held his axe.
"My desire to defeat, no, no, no, I should say I want to kill El Zeus has never been so clear and firm.
Qi Ge, your help has made me completely determined to achieve my current goal.
I was originally still hesitating whether or not to become the leader of the Conferred God Organization, but now I have decided that I must become the leader and do everything in my power to get rid of El Zeus."
Seven Pigeons: ...
Damn! How can you repay kindness with enmity?
Hey, hey, brother Tanan, your competitor is me! It’s me! It’s me that you were thanking just a second ago!
I have restored the truth to you, shouldn't you give me the title of Conferred God? Damn it!
Qi Ge was very angry that Tanan did not play by the rules.
However, now is not the time to raise objections. The leader of the Conferred God Contest is not someone he can become just because he wants to. It depends on everyone's choice. What is more important is to get the specialty.
Qi Ge took a look and found that to learn the role of the Ever-changing Man, 40 points of favorability were required, but the task only added 20 points, leaving 10 points short.
This is a bit troublesome.
Qi Ge thought for a while and said:
"Lord Tanan, do you still remember the elder goblin who served as your counselor when you were young?"
Mentioning this, Tanan closed his eyes painfully and sighed deeply:
"Of course I remember it, how could I forget it?
Although I had Al Zeus' guidance at the time, it was me who made those stupid choices.
I have never forgotten the beastly things I did when I was young.
Not only the elder goblins, but also Hadar and the others.
Over the years, I have been repenting for everything I have done in the past.”
Qi Ge immediately asked, "Your Excellency, do you know what kind of soldier that staff fairy is?"
“Of course I know, Elder Fairy is the name of his military branch, and it is also the real name he gave himself.
Before he successfully advanced, he, like other goblins, had no name, only a number.
I didn’t understand it when I was young, but now that I think about the follow-up carefully, he should have experienced at least two more advancements.
Those were the two times when his robe changed color.
The Elder Elf himself is a Tier 5 soldier, and when I last saw him in my dream, he was at least Tier 7.
Being able to enter my dreams to find me should be a special skill he gained after his advancement.
After hearing what you said, I recalled that he did seem to have been trying to remind me, but unfortunately I was too young and immature at the time and didn’t see his intention at all.”
Tanan said.
Qi Ge nodded thoughtfully and said:
“That’s just as I guessed.
Level 7... No, Lord Tanan, you still underestimate him.
Lord Tanan, you wrote in your diary that after you stabbed the dagger into the heart of the elder elf, the elder elf said to you:
'Wang, why are you doing this?
I just want to help you get rid of... I finally gained enough strength.
Ah!! It was too late, it was too late for everything, he had found me.
King, don't believe him, don't believe him...'
Later, when you met Magnus, he said: 'I'm sorry, King Tanan, a little trouble has delayed me for some time.
But I have solved the problem, and now no one can hinder us.'
Combining the two, the reason why the elder goblin took the other goblins away from you was probably because of Magnus's existence.
He somehow managed to advance and tried to warn you, but was stopped and found by Magnus."
Hearing this, Tanan gritted his teeth, shook his head and said:
"I have been speculating for so many years. The consequences of the elder goblin are definitely not good.
His death was caused by me, and this hatred will also be blamed on me and El Zeus."
"That's not what I want to talk about." Qi Ge explained, "I once got a very secret intelligence. About two hundred years ago, when Marvin was in power, there was a big goblin riot.
During that goblin riot, a powerful army called Chaos Goblins appeared by Bracada.
[Chaos Fairies] can modify the rules, and almost forced the fairies to break away from Bracada by force.
Gavin tried to stop them, but his crown was nearly knocked off and he fell to the level of a demigod.
The location of the goblin riot was the [Jade Liquid Islands] which was once Bracada.
The [Yuye Islands], together with the sea area, are larger than the seven cities in the southern border of Bracada today. The Yuye Islands happened to be one of the territories of the former Barbarian Empire, and it was the only road from Bracada to the barbarian colony except for the Wall Peak Mountains.
I have reason to suspect that the so-called [Chaos Fairy] is the [Elder Fairy] who once followed you.
I think he must be more than level 7, at least level 8, and he may even be the pinnacle of the military, a level 9 myth. "
"Level 9 Myth..." Tanan's pupils shrank. "If it is really a Level 9 Myth, then its combat power will definitely not be inferior to that of a demigod hero. If it goes one step further, it will reach the level of a pseudo-god.
Gavin is the incarnation of El Zeus, and he himself is not a complete demigod hero. Without the blessing of El Zeus, it would not be surprising for him to be defeated by an 8th- or 9th-level myth."
"Yes." Qi Ge said seriously: "Your Excellency Tanan, I have searched all over Bracada, but I can't find any other records about the [Chaos Fairy].
Trosa and others who may know the past history are even more silent about it.
You have a wide network of contacts and may be able to find more information.
I would like to ask you to help me collect some detailed information about the Chaos Fairies outside of Bracada, as well as what happened in the Yuye Islands."
"No problem, I will do my best." Tanan agreed first, and then asked doubtfully:
“The elder goblin died because of me, so it’s only natural for me to collect information about him, but why are you so interested in him?
Given your age, you were not even born at the time, right? Did you have any intersection with each other? "
Qi Ge smiled and did not answer, but said:
"Lord Tanan, I may have a way to let you see the elder fairy again. A living, real elder fairy who may even have the memories of the past."
"Ah?" Tanan was very surprised: "How is this possible? If he was killed by El Zeus at that time, more than two hundred years have passed now."
"This is related to the special characteristics of the fairy race, and it is difficult to explain now." Qi Ge said seriously: "Before I am ready, Your Majesty, please remember the voice and appearance of the elder fairy.
Your memory of him may be the key to his resurrection."
Tanan also became serious: "If what you said is true, then I will be very grateful to you.
His death was also due to my sins, and I will do my best to help you and atone for my past mistakes."
[System prompt: Congratulations on accepting the mission [Resurrect the Elder Fairy]. ]
[System prompt: Tanan's favorability towards you +2, currently 32 (thank you)]
Only two points...
Qi Ge scratched his head in pain, made up his mind, and said to Tanan:
"Your Excellency Tanan, you just said that your specialty requires a corresponding understanding and perception of the rules.
I have two understandings and insights here.
They are the Griffin Rider Specialty and the Bard Specialty, both are legendary level, are you interested?"
"Huh?" Tanan looked at Qi Ge in surprise: "How did you, a rookie who just became a master, get the insights of two legendary specialties?"
"Well...if I say I want to keep it a secret, is that okay?"
"You kid." Tanan looked at Qi Ge in amazement. "Are you also a reincarnation? What's your name? What's your strength? Have you recovered your memory?"
Qi Ge smiled silently: "I have nothing to say. Your Excellency Tanan, just tell me whether you will learn it or not?"
"Learn! Why not? More skills, more paths."
Qi Ge breathed a sigh of relief: "Well, then I will start with my understanding of griffins..."
…
…
[System prompt: Tanan has learned the specialty: Light of the Griffin]
[System prompt: Tanan's favorability towards you +12, currently 44]
[System prompt: Tanan has learned the specialty: Charm Song]
[System prompt: Tanan's favorability towards you +12, currently 56]
After Qi Ge had described his thoughts and insights on the two specialties, Tanan fell into deep thought. It took him more than half an hour to come back to his senses, followed by two consecutive system prompts.
He opened his eyes wide in surprise and said to Qi Ge:
“Interesting, both of your specialties are very interesting.
Especially the second one, which can write songs in battle to induce the enemy's soldiers to rebel, and can also greatly enhance the combat effectiveness of female soldiers. It's amazing.
It’s just… I feel like this skill isn’t something a proper hero can master.”
Seven Pigeons: ...
Ahem, this may be because I learned too many songs from mermaids and sirens in my previous life.
Besides, there’s nothing wrong with male heroes liking female soldiers!
Tanan looked at Qi Ge deeply and said to him:
"You even gave me something as rare as this. It seems like you are determined to get my specialty.
Anyway, you helped me a lot.
If you insist on trying, then give it a try.”
Tanan put his hands on Qi Ge's shoulders and said:
“Close your eyes and feel it with your heart. This is the first time I will teach someone my special skills, and it may also be the last time.
If you don’t learn, there will be no second chance.”
Qi Ge closed his eyes, and in an instant, he seemed to appear in a strange space. It was pitch black around him, but there were always tiny flashes of light shining in the darkness.
He tried to reach out and grab the flashes of light, but they were out of reach and he couldn't catch them.
Qi Ge grabbed it twice, and then immediately reacted: "No, that's not right. The core of the Wan Chang Ren is actually borrowing. I shouldn't go over there. I should wait for those light spots to come over."
As soon as this thought came to his mind, Qi Ge was no longer anxious. He put his hands flat, half-closed his eyes and waited for the light to arrive.
Gradually, more and more opinions gathered in Qi Ge's hands, and in the end they even surrounded him completely.
Countless points of light resonated with Qige's body, making him feel refreshed.
[System prompt: Congratulations to the player for obtaining the mythical specialty: The Ever-changing Man]
【The ever-changing person:
Master Level Specialty

All specialties that are called out can only have a master-level effect at best.
The abolished specialties will not disappear, but will enter a one-week cooldown period. 】
"Finally got it." Qi Ge breathed a sigh of relief.
He quickly opened the list of specialties.
In the list of specialties, all the specialties that can be called upon by relying on the [Man of Change] are densely written.
"Huh?" How could there be so many? Qi Ge was startled.
He rubbed his eyes, looked carefully, and found that he was not mistaken.
There are 26 pages in total, with a total of 1,298 specialties, all of which are legendary specialties.
"Hiss～～" Qi Ge took a deep breath and he understood what was going on.
"Xiang Yu once said, 'If you don't return home when you are rich and powerful, it's like walking in brocade clothes at night.
As we all know, pets and players all have one thing in common: they like to show off.
I worked so hard to get such an amazing skill. If I don’t show it off in the post, wouldn’t it be a waste?
Especially in the previous life, after players generally reached the legendary level, posts showing off their specialties popped up like mushrooms after a rain, and it was impossible to read them all.
As a professional player, I occasionally take a quick look at those popular top specialties, especially those created by players themselves, drool a little, and curse them as European spies.
And those player specialties that I can no longer remember clearly all appear in the list!
[Ultimate Cute Lord], [Emperor Engine], [Love of the God of Light], [A Certain Magical Index], [Oath of Alliance]...even Le Meng's [Magic Wizard] specialty is included!
I alone am the sum of all the top players in my previous life?!
Invincible, absolutely invincible! No wonder the ever-changing person is the strongest specialty. "
Seven doves rejoice.
Just as he was about to carefully read the detailed list of specialties, the list of specialties suddenly closed.
Then, a magic rune full of fantasy appeared in Qi Ge's hand and slowly rotated.
Magic Rune: Universal.
When Tanan saw the runes on Qi Ge's hand, he exclaimed, "I actually let you learn it."
He stretched out his hand, and in his palm, a rune exactly the same as the Seven Doves was also spinning.
"Now, I really have become your teacher.
Damn Thunderbird shit, now no one will believe you if you say you are not my student."
Tanan thought about it carefully, then laughed and cursed helplessly:
"Damn it, that's not right. You're more than a student. I can't even explain why you say you're my son."
