Chapter 976: Response

The low singing voice is scattered in the wind, and the lyrics are surprisingly simple and straightforward:

“...... I walk in dense forests, and the grass and trees are reckless;

I went to the distant mountains, flowing water soup soup.

The sun rises in the clouds, and the stars hang on the sea;

The long road is endless, and the four fields are boundless.

However, he is here, like the wind and light;

Where do we come from, where do we go......"

The long and continuous tune is also familiar, a bit like the song hidden in the silver ball, but it is not the same. It's more casual, more natural, less ethereal and elaborate tactful, less frank and intimate.

If it weren't sung in the old Elven language, Ed would have felt that it was more like a song written by humans.

He listened quietly. Time seemed to stand still in the song, and he forgot the imminent crisis, and he forgot the burden entangled in his blood, until he suddenly realized in a trance that the surroundings seemed to be getting brighter and brighter.

He looked around and saw the starlight falling on the treetops, as quiet and tranquil as it had been thousands of years ago, and as it had been thousands of years later. However, the light seemed to penetrate the deep green leaves of the old oak tree...... It seems to come out of the veins of the leaves, reflecting each leaf into a soft silver white.

The singing stopped. Fei Rui stood under the silver leaf, looking up.

He didn't cast the spell, but it still responded to him...... No, they had forgotten the oldest magic, but it had never abandoned them.

The low-hanging leaves were within reach, and he couldn't help but caress the smooth leaves, feeling the long-standing anxiety, exhaustion and confusion, dissipate little by little like the morning mist.

He looked at the young human. He thought he might have thanked him...... But that simple, heavy word is imprisoned in a deep-seated pride that has been taken for granted for centuries, and it cannot be spoken.

However, the black-haired young man did not notice his struggle...... Maybe I don't care. He looked left and right with undisguised surprise and admiration on his face, and his blue and blackened eyes were round and shiny, like a bold and curious squirrel.

The elf clearly wanted to laugh a little, but when he spoke, his tone was still calm to the point of indifference.

"There's a secret passage here...... Access to the Silent Tower. "But I'm not going to open it." ”

Ed frowned suspiciously, but he wasn't angry. He believed that Ferry had made him climb so high...... Letting him enter the sacred land of the clan will never be just for him to listen to a song.

"What's ...... about you," he began, only to be interrupted almost immediately by another voice.

"So, you're not going to help at all. Murray approached slowly, his eyes were a shadow that could not be illuminated, and his low voice lacked undulation, but trembled slightly, "He respects you and believes in you...... You'd rather him die in the Tower of Silence, right?"

Ed's heart sank, and he subconsciously turned around and stopped in front of him: "Hey, calm down......"

The last syllable disappeared into the shrill sound of the wind, and the oncoming blade with a chilling chill was between the eyebrows in an instant.

The elves weren't aiming for him...... But they didn't take care of him.

Ed instinctively shrank his head, and his eyes darkened, and Fenway had already blocked him behind him, his arms raised, and the crossed short knife firmly held Murray's sword, and he twisted it down.

However, even though he seemed to have lost his mind, Murray still retained the skill and instinct of a warrior, and the short sword quickly withdrew with the slight side of Finway's double blades, and got rid of Finway in the harsh grinding sound, and slightly sideways to avoid Ed, but still rushed at Fairy desperately.

Ed raised his hand, feeling the excitement of the mist of light that had always surrounded him before he could cast the spell. He hesitated for a moment...... But he didn't need to do it again.

Finway shortens and kicks Murray in the shin. The elf dodged the blow with agility, but was unable to dodge a branch that suddenly pulled out of the wooden platform.

The thin twig whipped on his leg, seemingly with little force, but the elf's entire body twitched violently as if it had been struck by lightning, and fell straight to Fairy's feet, and there was no more sound.

The battle ended too quickly. Ed was stunned for a moment before he could react, but he began to worry about another problem.

“...... He's not dead. Ferry gave him a faint look, "At least not yet." ”

Ed laughed wryly.

"I think he probably is...... Where to escape. He tried to explain Murray's aberration, "He was badly injured, probably a little ......"

"He was locked up in the Tower of Silence. Fei Rui interrupted him, "You think he can really escape on his own?...... You think you just met him by chance?"

Ed was stunned and fell silent.

“...... Even if all this was in someone's plan, would we not do anything?"

After a few moments, he spoke in a low voice.

“...... It's not 'everything'. Firi replied, his gaze flickering over the mist of light behind Ed.

Ed looked back in confusion and he didn't hear a sound at all, but behind him, Lance Sunchaser, who had just stepped onto the platform, raised his hands to his chest and bowed his head to him in silence, his demeanor seemed to be too respectful, and there was a vague uneasiness in his eyes, but the smile on his lips was heartfelt. The other elf was almost jumping onto the platform with a brisker step, and his energetic face was almost immature.

He saluted in the same respectful manner, but when he looked up, he winked slyly at Ed, his bright smile revealing the closeness of a long-known acquaintance.

Ed was stunned for a moment, and instantly reacted, this is the elf who once pretended to be him! After all, it should be rare among elves like him, who can only be regarded as medium by human standards......

He couldn't help but crack his mouth and smile back with a tacit smile, but he didn't have time to say anything. More elves came one after another, gradually filling most of the platform.

They were dressed differently and didn't talk to each other, some heavily armed, others as if they had just finished a feast under the stars. The only thing they have in common, perhaps, is that they are both young.

The age of an elf is difficult to judge over a long period of time, especially for a human. But Ed could clearly feel the vivid vitality, like a young leaf stretching in the treetops, almost from the depths of his soul, emitting a warm and fearless light.

As the light of the silver tree gradually dimmed, Fei Rui's voice sounded again.

"You have come here," he said, "and I will assume that you have made the final decision of your own will...... Decide to break your oath and the king's commands, and know that standing here means that you can leave your lives behind at any time...... It also means that you are ready to not retreat even if your weapons are stained with the blood of your own people or even relatives. ”

Ed was startled.
