Chapter 490: Family Affection
Chapter 490: Family Affection
"My lord, I've done what you asked, can you let me go now?" Ignoring the disgust and fear of the other captives, the girl asked Elliot with a blank expression.
"No, I have one more request," Elliott said with a strange smile as he stared at the girl, "one last request." ”
Hearing this, the girl glanced at Elliot coldly. Then, to everyone's surprise, she didn't ask Elliott what her last request was, but closed her eyes abruptly, and the blood-stained dagger in her hand slowly slipped from her unreleased fingertips, and finally fell to the ground with a "thud!"
This couldn't help but make the others, especially those Roland captives, feel extremely surprised, in their minds, since the girl in order to save her own life, she can already destroy her humanity to kill a family of three who have no grudge against her, what is she doing now?
At this time, Elliot suddenly looked at the girl in a tone of increasing appreciation and said, "To be honest, I appreciate you more and more now, and you have grown faster than I imagined! For example, now, you can not only guess my thoughts in an instant, but even make an excellent choice for it! Yes, it is quite good!"
The others were confused - the girl had guessed the heretical leader's thoughts, and had made a choice? Throwing away the murderous dagger was an option?!
Soon, the doubts of the many captives were further explained by Elliott, who turned to look at the girl's mother and grinned, "Ma'am, you have given birth to a clever daughter, but she has used that wisdom not only on others, but even on you!"
"As I said earlier, your daughter has already guessed my last request for her, and this is also a request for you - either you kill her, or if she kills you, you mother and daughter, only one of you will leave here alive!"
"This?!this?!" Hearing this, the girl's mother's face suddenly turned pale, and she looked indescribably overwhelmed.
"Do you know why I said just now that your daughter has actually made a choice?" Elliott bent down to pick up the dagger that the girl had thrown on the ground, looked at her own figure reflected in the blade, and smiled, "Since your daughter can use this sharp dagger to kill the innocent family of three just now, it is naturally not a problem to use it to end your life now!
Hearing this, the girl's mother looked at the girl with a very excited expression, and the eyes of the other Roland captives looked at her a little softened a little—now it seems that although this girl treats others with extreme coldness, even cruelty, she still has quite affection for her own relatives, and even gives up the chance to live that she had pursued frantically before! In this way, this girl is barely too bad......
"Are you thinking that your daughter lost this dagger because she wanted to give you a chance to live?" Looking at the young girl's mother who looked excited at the moment, Elliot ruthlessly broke her illusion, "It's wrong to think like this, it's very wrong, you don't know your own daughter at all!"
Seeing the disbelief on the girl's mother's face, Elliott sneered: "If she really wants to give you the only chance to live, wouldn't she just kill herself with this dagger? Or, she can also choose to jump into the fire pit! But she, the precious daughter you regard as more than her own life, does she have it? No, she has no choice either!"
"And her seemingly pointless act of throwing this dagger away is actually the most subtle step in my opinion—in this way, it is equivalent to putting the choice in your hands!"
"On the surface, it seems that your daughter has voluntarily given up her autonomy, and you have turned to control her life and death!
Every word Elliott said was like a hammer, hammering down on the girl's mother's heart. Listening to Elliott's question at this time, the girl's mother had already buried her head deeply, and at the same time shook her head slowly but very firmly.
"Yes, I know you won't, and your daughter, too, believes in that! That's why she drops the dagger so relaxed! And in this way, she doesn't have to bear the charge of killing her own mother, because all this is your own choice as a mother, showing your great maternal love! I have to commend your daughter for this, she has begun to learn to understand, and even control people's hearts! If she were a phantom mage, I have no doubt that she would become a powerful psychic master!
"I just don't know, will your daughter be moved by your maternal love?"
Hearing this, the girl's mother was silent, and the girl was equally silent......
There was an eerie silence for a while, and as one of the guardians of the Holy Sepulchre severed the belt that bound the girl's mother, the mother began to walk slowly towards the girl. For a moment, everyone watched this scene silently.
Walking up to the girl, the girl's mother slowly stretched out her hands, which were weak from being restrained for a long time, and held the girl's cheeks. Looking at the face in front of her, which was seven or eight points similar to herself, but much younger and more beautiful than herself, the girl's mother stretched out her fingers and slowly wiped the blood stains on the girl's face. Then, the girl's mother hugged the girl's delicate body into her arms.
"Yuna, although it may seem like you're taking advantage of me from that heretic's words, Mom really doesn't blame you, she doesn't blame you at all, because you're my daughter! If there is only one person between the two of us who can live, then I hope you are the one who can live!"
"From a very young age, I could tell that you were very smart, much smarter than the children of your age, but it was precisely because of this intelligence that you did not like to be around other children from an early age, so you never had any friends. To be honest, a lot of times I don't want you to be that smart, and I never think it's good for a woman to be too smart. ”
"When I saw you kill that family of three with all your heart just now, I was surprised, shocked, and painful, and I blamed myself and felt guilty for it. But Mom really doesn't blame you, no matter what you become in the eyes of others, you will always be my daughter!"
"Mom won't be able to be with you anymore, which makes me sad and worried. You've been as stubborn and proud as a boy since you were a kid, and I know from what I'm going to know you're going to go crazy about something—power, power, or whatever! But, promise Mom, don't lose yourself, okay? Remember, no matter what, you're first and foremost a woman!"
……
"Okay, that's it, although I'm reluctant, it's time for Mom to go. Whether I will be welcomed into the kingdom of the Holy King or fall into the hell of sin, you must believe that my mother will always protect you!"
With that, the girl, Yuna's mother, pulled an ordinary silver ring from between her fingers and placed it on the cold, stiff little finger of Yuna's left hand. Without hesitation, Yuna's mother turned around and calmly and quietly jumped into the fire pit that was burning with raging flames......
Looking at Yuna's mother, who was soon extinguished in the flames, the Roland captives were extremely silent, among them the sensible boys and girls couldn't stop sobbing, while their father or mother hugged them tightly in their arms, and they were all moved by the real and heavy maternal love of the girl's mother.
Only Yuna stood alone, her head bowed, and no one could see her expression. She is like a lame lone wolf looking up at the starry sky alone, the starry sky is still bright, but from now on, the starry sky is destined to be only looked up to by herself......
"My lord, can you let me go now?" After a long silence, Yuna asked again, as cold as before.
Elliot shook his head and said, "No, I changed my mind." ”
Hearing this, Yuna couldn't help but raise her head in surprise, looking at the tall orc who was smiling in front of her, her eyes couldn't stop swelling up with infinite anger, and her mouth sneered: "Hehe-"
"No, don't get me wrong. Elliot was rarely angry at a mortal girl's offense to herself, but smiled and said, "I don't want to break the agreement and continue to push you into the fire pit, on the contrary, I intend to give you a chance!"
Hearing this, Yuna's face began to improve, and at the same time, when she heard the word 'opportunity', her eyes suddenly became extremely bright, and Elliott could clearly sense the excitement and eagerness of the other party!
"Scared?" Elliot shook his head with an extremely funny look, and said lightly, "There is no shortage of people in this world who hate me, people who want to kill me, and there will be more and more in the future! ”
Hearing Elliott's domineering answer, Yuna's expression was shocked, and at the same time, there was a silence.
Elliot was not in a hurry to get Yuna's answer, but said to herself: "In this world, both the total number of women and the number of female awakened people are not much less than those of men, but since ancient times, most of the territory on the continent has been ruled by men!"
"The reason for this state of affairs, in addition to the natural physical differences between women and men, is more that most women are born with more motherhood, kindness, kindness, and love than men!
"I was born in the realm of the Seven Kings in the Western Continent, where we orcs live. It is far more chaotic than the Valley of the Dawn, and there is no shortage of war! The cruel environment has made the orcs of the Western Continent develop extremely aggressive habits, and this habit has been deeply ingrained in their bones for generations, even if it is a female orc! So, to put it mildly, many female orcs in the Western Continent may not conform to the aesthetics of human beings, but in my opinion, my ugly but aggressive female orc fellow are more combative!"
"Of course, I don't mean to say that women can never be inferior to men, and there have been many heroic women on this continent who are far stronger than the men of their time!
"Right now, I see this potential in you! Once you start gaining strength, I'm sure you'll be able to grow to a good level in the future! ”
"Now, then, tell me, will you accept this invitation from me?"
