"Not even you can kill everyone here. ”

Rey's voice was soft as a whisper, but she knew Sethana could hear it, "And no one will mistake your swords and pointed ears...... They will know who is responsible. Your king probably wouldn't want such a surprise. ”

"Borena Dejuri is not 'my king'!" retorted the elf with some exasperation, but his half-crouched body was no longer tense like a leopard ready to attack.

"We don't have to get out here. Ryan lifted his chin to the cliff on the other side. When she motioned for Sesyana to follow her, the elf didn't refuse.

The near-vertical cliff is not too high under the shade of the trees, but there is nothing to cling to.

“...... I can't pull you up. The elf said.

“...... Thank you, but I don't need your help. Rey replied.

She looked up to discern the plants available on the cliff, and then looked back at the elf who was staring at her silently—he seemed to realize something.

Ryan shrugged again - they probably wouldn't see each other again after they left here, so what was there to worry about?

She whispered, ancient incantations born before the elves came into the world, the syllables sonorous and powerful, but there was always a hint of sadness in her tone that no one could understand—perhaps it was only her delusion, after all, it was a language that no one could understand.

Several sturdy vines grew rapidly, slowly climbing downward, snake-like wrapping around her waist and slowly rising with her.

"I guess you don't need my help?" Ryan reached out and grabbed the vine, looking down at Cethana. The tone is ridiculous.

The elf looked at her quietly and intently, a little surprised...... But he was also a little excited, and the moonlight illuminated his bright eyes like clear gems. It also makes him look like a simple and curious child, who is delighted to see something interesting.

Ryan sighed and let another vine reach down, wrapping around the elf's body.

“...... You're a whisperer?"

As he climbed the cliff and hid the withering vines, Sesyana suddenly spoke.

Ryan froze for a moment—she hadn't heard anything like that.

The elf's expression was a little tangled, and he didn't seem to know how to explain it to her. The faint sound of fighting and scolding came from not far away...... The soldiers and pirates really fought.

The elf frowned slightly.

"Rosa is still down there. He said.

"Good luck. Rey smiled at him. "I have to go...... If you're not going to take me back to Limestone Castle and put it at the mercy of the countess. ”

The elf looked at her hesitantly for a moment, then shook his head.

"That's not my job. He said, looking a little depressed in his downward voice. His mission was presumably to bring Sercio back. But he didn't make it.

A guy who moves as fast as lightning, as nimble as a snake, and does things in a straightforward way—Ryan can't help but laugh, but this is probably an offense to the elves?

She nodded to him as a goodbye. Turn around and walk towards the rolling hills. But there was a trace of confusion in my heart.

Now, where is she going?...... Where else could she go?

For a moment she remembered the little cave under the Giant's Spine, where she had been...... Will Siao's soul still linger there?

But she quickly shook her head at herself. She knew herself, and she would go crazy if she was alone in that kind of place.

She's old...... But her soul still struggled to calm down.

After walking some distance, she suddenly stopped, and listened, the night wind brought to her ears the sound of a clash of weapons, though a little faint. But the fast, seemingly regular rhythm clearly came from the elves' twin swords.

She hesitated for a moment. And didn't look back—she figured that the proud and mighty sword dancer didn't need her help.

The arrow fell to the ground beside the elf.

Even if another round of arrow rain came to him, he had the confidence to get out calmly...... He also knew very well that the moment he jumped from the gap in the cliff he fell into the encirclement.

He should have been more cautious, and not jumped off in a hurry just because he didn't see Rosa.

It's not that there is no possibility of escape. But he didn't like to run away...... Nor can they escape.

The ambushers gave up their attack, perhaps realizing that it was a waste of effort. In the crisp high-five, someone deliberately lengthened his voice and praised in an exaggerated tone: "Beautiful...... Can your sword be a little faster?"

Sethana clenched the hilt of his sword with a cold face and remained silent. There was only one person in his eyes - Rosa, and the female warrior who had been captured at some unknown time did not seem to be injured, but was slightly frustrated, and smiled at him with apologies.

The elf looked away, calmed down, and looked for a chance to save her.

Behind them, the uplifted rocks obscured their view, and the fighting continued on the other side, but the pirates on the other side seemed to be unconcerned.

There were less than ten pirates standing in front of him, half of them were no taller than Rosa, all of them were dark and thin, and most of them were already wearing short-sleeved shirts in the not hot weather of early summer in the north, and even naked, showing strong muscles. There were more archers hiding behind the reef on the right, and there were already people quietly surrounding him......

Rosa looked behind him.

He knew what she meant—she wanted him to leave.

It's not impossible to find a way to come back and save her after escaping...... But his feet felt like they were frozen on the rocks, and he couldn't move a single step.

He couldn't bear to leave her in this situation.

He judged the distance between them—a little far. The pirates from the south, who were probably familiar with the elves, kept Rosa at arm's length from him and pointed their weapons at her...... And not his people, more than one.

"Elf, hey, Elven Master!" the ignored man waved his hand, walked over to Rosa, and grinned and put his hand on Rosa's shoulder, "Can you take your eyes off the girls of the Latus family for a moment? ”

The elf finally glanced at him - did he know Rosa?

"Yes, I'm ...... Rosa," the man patted Rosa on the shoulder, "we're old friends." ”

Rosa smiled and pulled his hand off her shoulder without even looking at him.

"Honestly, I was just trying to make a deal with our good Rosa, like we did before, but she seemed a little busy. The man rubbed his hands regretfully, "Now...... I wonder if we can sit down and talk kindly?"

In the bay, a horn suddenly sounded, and the man's face still kept smiling, but the muscles in the corners of his eyes twitched involuntarily.

"What do you think, Elf?" he lowered...... Sesyana could hear the real danger in it.

He glanced at Rosa, then nodded slightly.
