Chapter Fifty-Nine: A Night of Despair

Thorn City, located in the largest city in the northeast of the Bright Blue Kingdom, and the terrain is extremely dangerous, surrounded by mountains on three sides, separated from the Kingdom of Swisston by a Pingxi Mountain Range in the north, separated by the Asahi Mountains in the east and the Flower Language Forest in the east, the Luoxia Mountains in the west, and the plains in the east of the Bright Blue Kingdom by an Emerald River in the south.

Three days later, the Luoxia Mountains to the west of Thorn City.

A horse-drawn carriage was moving slowly.

"Brother, how long will it take to get to Thorn City, I want to eat a big meal there" Ariel sat next to Ayton listlessly, when they were in Black Rock City, they ate all the delicious things there, which made Ariel feel happy from eating the coarse grain of the Sorrowful Cave, and then heard Lan Coco say that Thorn City is the largest city on the eastern edge of the entire Bright Blue Kingdom, and it is also the most prosperous city, with more delicious food and fun, which aroused Ariel's desire for food in her heart, and she desperately wanted to reach Thorn City quickly.

"It's estimated that it will take seven or eight hours to arrive, and I guess I will have to sleep in the wilderness tonight," Ayton said helplessly, for the past three days he has been playing the role of a coachman, which is very boring, but he has also learned the art of horseback riding.

"Ah, are we going to sleep in the wilderness?" said Coco with a sad face as she lifted the curtain.

"What's the matter, Coco," Ilully asked in the car, as they sat in the carriage together and chatted in the past two days, and their relationship heated up sharply, but Ariel was still lukewarm to Coco.

"I used to spend one night in the wilderness, and the next morning I woke up sick and died"

"Haha, who told you not to bring a tent, just lie down and sleep in the wild, it's no wonder if you don't feel uncomfortable" Ariel smiled, in the past three days, Coco seemed to have replaced Mu Yue and became the object of Ariel's ridicule.

It's just that Coco's good cultivation makes her fall into disadvantage every time, and she doesn't know how to refute Ariel, so she can only say weakly: "The tent is so big, how can I carry it?"

At this moment, there was the sound of a carriage rushing behind him.

"Get out of the way!"

Hearing the words of the envoy of the Bright Blue Kingdom, Coco immediately pulled back to Iruli, retracted her head into the carriage and closed the curtain.

"This action is too obvious, others will see that you are the high-ranking lady of the Bright Blue Kingdom."

Ayton and Ariel looked at each other, then silently controlled the carriage out of the avenue and stopped. Due to the proximity to the mountain road, the main road at this time is very narrow and can only be accommodated

The carriage ran past Ayton, escorted by 10 ironclad knights in front of and behind.

The sound of galloping horses' hooves passed by, and suddenly a puff of dust drifted towards them, and Ayton frowned.

I know that there are people next to me who don't know how to slow down

Ariel covered her mouth and nose, leaned down to pick up a rock on the ground, and flicked her little finger.

The last knight's horse screamed, and the knight fell to the ground.

Ayton gave a silent glance at Ariel, who tilted his head to the side, as if he didn't care about me.

Is this too idle and want to have fun, in the past few days when they came to the ground, they have a full understanding of the strength of human beings, even if it is a fifth-order war spirit, with the advantage of weapons, Ayton and Ariel still have the confidence to fight with it.

"What's going on?" the carriage stopped, and Bard, the leader of the guards, asked coldly as he rode over on horseback.

"I'm sorry, my lord, but my subordinate war horse actually lost its hoof for some reason," the knight hurriedly got up and bowed his head.

Bard frowned and looked at the horse's hind legs, where there was an obvious bruise, not caused by a long run.

The leader looked in Ayton's direction with a cold expression.

"Look, I'm in trouble," Ayton whispered, glancing at Ariel.

The latter smiled mischievously: "Anyway, they're not strong, what are they afraid of"

The leader of the guards walked over: "Did you do it?"

Ayton looked innocent and said, "What did we do? We've been sitting in the carriage just now."

He doesn't want to tear his face yet, so avoid the disputes that can be avoided.

"You ......" The knight leader drew his long sword and wanted to intimidate a few words, when a dissatisfied voice suddenly came from the carriage.

"Bud, let's leave if there's nothing to do."

"Subordinates obey" Bard glared at Ayton, retracted his sword and turned to leave.

If it weren't for the fact that they were in a hurry, if it weren't for the fact that the horse's injury didn't affect the running, he wouldn't have let go of such a mischievous two so easily.

Looking at the back of the convoy gradually leaving, Ariel pouted: "It's not interesting to come up and fight"

"They were probably in a hurry, it was still seven or eight hours away from the nearest town, but it was almost night, and they were still running, and they must have planned to get all the way to that town overnight."

"Brother, should we go to that town to sleep too" Ariel blinked her bright eyes and looked at Ayton.

"It's not getting early now, let's sleep around here for the night, there must be a lot of mosquitoes in the Sunset Mountains," Ayton said lightly.

"Very well," Ariel said happily, and pulled back the curtains.

"Come out, they're gone"

"Great," Coco said, patting her chest.

Ignoring Coco, Ariel pulled out a stack of wooden racks and curtains from the carriage, which had only two tents due to limited space.

Ayton spent ten gold coins on a carriage to carry some wild necessities, and he didn't want to expose the Dark Orb to Coco, after all, he had only known her for three days.

"I'll sleep with my brother, you can do whatever you want" Ariel laughed, and then gave Ayton a look you know, they slept in the town for the first two days, for some reason, Ayton always didn't agree to sleep with her, saying that it was a few days to be cautious, and this time you must not let go of sleeping in the wild.

Coco glanced at the inexplicably excited Ariel, and then saw the pretty and reddened Elully, and asked Ayton suspiciously, "You won't do anything unsightly at night, right?"

"Ahem, what's the matter, don't think about it" Ayton turned his head and touched the dark bead in his arms, the little succubus in it has not shown signs of awakening in the past three days, and he is not sure whether she is harmful, so he has not told others in the past few days, including Ariel, and he does not dare to sleep in the same bed with Ariel, I heard that succubi are particularly sensitive to lust or something.

"Come on, go to bed" Ariel set up the tent in an instant, looking at Ayton with a smile.

Ayton only felt the muscles of his face twitch, and ran over and knocked her little head hard: "The sun hasn't set yet, what kind of sleep, and you slept in the middle of the road, didn't you eat dinner......"

......

After a while, the group sat under a big tree and roasted a bonfire, the smell of wild boar meat stimulated Coco to still drool, today they were all eating dry food on the road, dry and tasteless dry food made Coco rather hungry than eat, and I didn't know what delicacies she used to eat.

"Brother, my head still hurts" Ariel hugged her little head and looked at Ayton with teary eyes.

"Don't rub it, I've been rubbing it for more than ten minutes, and it still hurts?"

"Sister Ariel, do you want me to help you heal" A faint green light rose from Ilully's right hand.

"Uh...... I suddenly felt no more pain in my head. ”

A grunting sound came from Coco's stomach, and the blue-robed mage girl's pretty face was slightly red, and she said weakly, "Ayton, can you eat it?"

“...... Let's eat."

As soon as the words fell, Ariel took the first step to snatch the two thickest thighs, not caring at all about Lan Coco's gaze about eating people, she had been thinking about these two thighs for a long time.

Ayton took a thigh meat from Ariel, and looked at Ilully, who was eating wild fruits, and Cocoa, who was elegantly eating the boar's front hooves, and Ariel, who was already full of greasy.

The corners of his mouth couldn't help but show a faint smile, this is not like a dark cave, such an unrestrained life is what he wants.

......

At the same time, at the edge of the Forest of Despair.

A terrible scream resounded through the sky, alarming a large number of small animals to scatter and flee. Starry Night only felt that the entire night sky completely collapsed in an instant, and everything turned into dead gray despair at this moment.

Starry Night looked at the silent mother's body in front of her, or rather the corpse, the head had flown ten meters away, splashing blood all the way, and blood was still gushing out of her neck, and the blood was so red, just like her scarlet eyes.

A hot night breeze blew, but it only made her feel the biting cold.

Ignoring the knight in silver holy armor beside him, Starry Night endured his trembling body, got up, stood up, and walked towards his mother. But once she was hit in the back by a heavy blow from the knight behind her, and the whole person fell to the ground again, and two lines of tears quickly slid down from the corners of her eyes.

"Why...... Why don't you let me go over...... Meet Mom...... The last side"

Three days ago, a small group of knights in silver armor rushed to them menacingly, fortunately, the magic guards and magic traps arranged around them bought them most of the time, allowing them to escape, and the mother and daughter escaped into the Despair Forest, but then more silver knights and ordinary knights came, they hid all the way to Tibet, entangled with them through magic traps and terrain familiarity, but still could not avoid their large number and the magical beasts of the Despair Forest.

Finally, after encountering a battle with Warcraft, they were surrounded by the Knights. During the battle, Starry Night saw the one-armed adventurer who cowered behind the knight, the adventurer she had saved a month earlier.

Eventually, Ruth's head was cut off by a knight in rich silver armor...... At this time, the grief in her heart could only be understood by her, these white knights of the Church who thought they were righteous and the ordinary knights of Black Rock City just watched coldly from the sidelines, without the slightest pity.

"Cut, it turned out to be a dark elf and human mongrel, wasting my time," the noble knight took out his handkerchief and wiped the blood on his sword, and said disdainfully.

"Knight, what about my ......reward," the one-armed adventurer asked with sincere fear

"Hmph, give it to him," the noble knight threw away his handkerchief and motioned for one of the knights to give him the gold coins.

"Thank you, sir," the adventurer took the gold coin, bowed and thanked him, then turned his head and ran away, not glancing at the silver-haired girl on the way, not knowing whether he was ashamed or disdainful of a dying man.

"Lord Paladin, what are you going to do with this person, she is good-looking, if she is sold to the royal capital, the price must be very good, tsk, a dark elf and human mongrel" A fat middle-aged man stepped forward and sneered, and at the same time prepared to stuff a bag of gold coins in his arms into his arms.

Paladin Scott frowned slightly, and motioned to the attendant next to him to take the gold coin: "Then you can do it yourself with this bastard, remember not to talk nonsense about today's events"

"Yes, Your Excellency"

"Hmph! go" As Scott gave the order, the Silver Knights left after him.

The city lord of Black Rock City looked coldly at the starry night that was still lying on the ground, and ordered the knights under him, "Take it down for me, put on the forbidden magic ring, and transport it to the royal capital in ten days, during which no one is allowed to do anything to her, otherwise she will die!"

The surrounding knights didn't dare to breathe for an instant, and nodded again and again: "The subordinates understand"

A knight stepped forward and grabbed Starry Night's neck and put on the forbidden magic ring, a strong sense of suffocation hit her heart, and the depleted magic power of her body seemed to be solidified, and she could only pull the black iron ring around her neck weakly with both hands.

"Ahem, what did you do to me"

"Go" The knight pulled the chain in his hand hard, and the cold chain drove Starry Night to almost fall and stumble.

"Ahem, can you let me bury my mother, please" Starry Night said with a crying voice.

"No matter, take it away, this woman is kept to feed the wolf, and it is really a shame for us humans to dare to give birth to a half-elf with a dark elf. ”

"It's not ......"

Before the starry night finished speaking, he felt the chain around his neck tighten, and the whole person fell forward, and tears couldn't help but fall out again.

"Bastard, be careful with Lao Tzu, if there is any wound on her body, the value will at least double" The city lord couldn't help but scold loudly.

"Yes, yes, my subordinates know that they are wrong," the knight nodded in fear.

The city lord glanced at the starry night that fell to the ground and cried: "That's it, you go and bury the woman, let's go first"

"Yes, Your Excellency"

After that, another person pulled the chain, and this time that person didn't dare to use too much force, for fear of hurting the goods and being punished by the city lord.

Starry Night took one last look at her mother's body, held back the tears in her eyes, and left silently, but despair and grief continued to accumulate in her heart, and she didn't know when it would erupt......

"Live!" was Ruth's last sentence for her.
