Chapter 240: Patience
"Insurgent?" said Gilvin was a little surprised by Valley's self-proclaim.
"Yes, I will free the people of the desert from the rule of those cruel princes. Ten thousand years ago, my ancestors led the sandfolk to wrest freedom from demons. Today, I'm going to do the same thing again. ”
"So you're going to rob those princes?"
"Not only the princes, but also the greedy elven nobles. ”
Valé's words were full of resentment, and in her opinion, most of the sandfolk lived a slave-like life, because of the mining of the magic crystals, and in order to obtain more perfect crystals from deeper and more dangerous places underground, the princes drove the sandfolk to work as absenteeism in the dark places.
Most of these hedrons were used as gifts or trade items by the princes, exchanging luxury goods from the elven nobles and gaining all kinds of support.
Without such a trading chain, the sandfolk could have lived a simple but peaceful life. So Valley wants to overthrow the sandman princes and destroy the bloody hedron trade.
"You hate elves?" From Vale's expression and tone, Givan could tell that Valé hated elves.
"You are actually the same as the demons, you elves have overthrown the rule of the demons, but climbed to the same position as them. You have taken all the land you can cultivate, planted forests and herbs, and squeezed the sandmen into the desert. ”
Seeing that Valé became more and more angry the more he spoke, Gawain hurriedly handed over the grilled fish.
"Don't look at me like that, I hate elves too, because they hate me eating meat. ”
Given's not lying, in the entire elf world, there are actually very few elves he doesn't hate. With the exception of Adelia and her friends, most of the elves he met were either biased discriminators or simply villains.
Hearing Given's words, Valley burst out into a rare laugh. Looking at her grinning, Givens suddenly discovered that Vallei, who has always shown a wild face, actually has a cute side. But as he looked at Valley's smiling face, Given's gaze naturally slipped below her neck, and the sight of intrusion made his blood run a little nervous, and he had to turn his head to focus on the grilled fish in his hand.
"But you're a thief...... Insurgents, what about your family. To distract him, Givens had to continue asking. And at the mention of the family, Vallei's mood that had just improved immediately immediately dimmed again.
"I hate my family, they're all crazy. ”
"Why?"
"They only care about power and land, and they have forgotten what kind of person their ancestor Mingsha used to be. When I found Excalibur "Moonlight", the first thing they thought of was to ask me to marry a prince who was dying of old age. ”
Hearing this, Jiwen was not surprised, since the Mingsha family had compiled a terrible book of fate, it was natural to interfere with the fate of the child, but it was a pity that Vallei was not the kind of child who would give in.
"And then you run out. ”
"Yes. Valley nodded, "After escaping from home, I began my rebellion in the desert. ”
After listening to Valley's family history, Givens finally asked the most sensitive question.
"But why did you come to the royal capital?"
Faced with this question, Valley looked at Jiwen and then gave up his intention to lie.
"I'm here to file a complaint. Valley replied earnestly, "I have stumbled upon some terrible evidence in the desert. The enemies I face are too strong, and I can only hope that through the power of the Elven Kingdom, I can overwhelm those cruel and terrible enemies. ”
Jiwen knew that she was going to face the most powerful prince in the desert and the most important family in the kingdom, if not against such a formidable enemy. According to Valley's character, she should have rushed over and destroyed the villains' lair single-handedly, rather than traveling thousands of miles to complain.
"Aren't you afraid of being caught by the King's Sword?"
Givens flipped over the last grilled fish in his hand and handed it to Valé. Valley unceremoniously took it, nibbling on it, and replied.
"There's no way around that. But I don't think the elves will be too me. If I just stay in the night forest and go to jail, I can still bear it. ”
Hearing Valley lightly recount what happened after his arrest, Givens was puzzled and asked, "Why?"
If Valley was indeed imprisoned, given Givin's knowledge of the habits of those elven nobles, they must have a thousand ways to make her die in prison due to accidents.
"I am the only descendant of the Mingsha family, and they dare not let the Mingsha family become the heir for such reasons. ”
With that, Valle eats the last bite of the fish and returns the skewer to Given. But at this moment, an ominous knocking sound was heard in the cavern air.
Givens and Valley held their breath together, then waited silently for the next tapping.
After a few seconds, a second knock came, this time accompanied by the sound of earth and rockfall. It was as if there was a huge guy digging open the ground of the cave.
"The bugs are here again. Givens shouted in a low voice.
Givens immediately threw away the steel skewer in his hand, put the magic furnace into the storage ring, and ran to pick up the sleeping elven sisters.
Seeing that Valé dragged her injured body, grabbed the moonlight again, and wanted to prepare for battle, Govern immediately handed the two children into her arms.
"It's time for you to watch the child this time, I'll cut it off. ”
Vallei wanted to hold on at first, but Jiwen shouted without hesitation: "I know how heavy your injuries are, don't be reckless." ”
Looking at Jivin's gaze, Vallet finally gave up, she picked up the moonlight, and then carried the elven sisters in her arms, and rushed into the depths of the cave. And Givens followed closely behind her, blocking the way with rocks and ice arrows.
Following Giving's instructions, Valley led the children through the rugged and winding caves, all the way up.
The reason why this time went so smoothly was because during the inspection just now, Jiwen had already opened up the connecting channels in several places. But even so, the knocking sounds behind him followed closely like ghosts, and kept approaching.
After passing through more than a dozen caves in a row, Jiwen and his party finally came to a closed cave, although there was no way out of this cave, but there were many gaps in the stone wall on one side of the cave. Through the gaps in the stone crevices, you can see the stone brick walls, which are very damp, covered with moss and fungi, and even the peculiar smell of sewage can be smelled in the cracks of the stones.
On the other side of the cave, it should be the sewer of the royal capital.
Givens and Vallet pried the bricks open, and soon the sewage began to pour out of the gap and into the cavern. As the stone bricks were removed one after another, the gap became larger and larger, and it was finally enough to accommodate one person to pass through.
Just when Jiwen was glad that he could get out of danger smoothly, the bottom of the cave suddenly collapsed, revealing a pair of huge red eyes, and with the cracked gap, those thousand-year-old cicadas that glowed blue fluorescent poured out again.
"Hurry up and take the children!" Givan reminded with his dagger. Because those thousand-year-old cicadas are already close at hand, and they can pounce at any time.
Valley picked up the two frightened children and made her way to the gap. But just as she was about to enter against the current, she turned back to Jiwen and asked, "Then what are you going to do?" ”
But she only heard one answer.
"You don't have to worry about me! I'm going to stop that big guy. ”
Givens rushed over, grabbed Valley by the waist, and thrust her into the rushing water. With that tremendous momentum, Valley and the two children swam into the gap, then fought their way up with buoyancy, and finally surfaced.
Although it was pitch black, the fluorescent mushrooms on both sides of the waterway barely illuminated the carved stone bricks on the walls, and the picture wordlessly indicated the location.
This is the sewer of the Elven King's Capital.
Vallet struggled to swim to the aisle by the sewer and put the two choking children on it. Finally he climbed ashore himself.
After she had finished cooking the two children, she looked back at the dark water again.
No figure emerges from beneath the water's surface.
And with a loud roar, the whirlpool on the surface of the sewer also disappeared, which means that the hole under the water just now has been blocked from the other side.
Not a single thousand-year-old cicada crawled along, and even the giant thousand-year-old cicada king insect failed to break into the sewer. Copperbeard fulfilled his promise to himself, and kept the terrible bugs at bay for himself.
A sense of empty loss suddenly took over Vallet's heart.
Just a moment ago, she was sitting in the cave with Copperbeard, joking and eating grilled fish. She could even sense the nervousness on his face when he inadvertently saw his body. But now he has completely disappeared into the cave under the water, and there is more than luck.
Although he was an elf, Valley could feel that he and herself were actually the same kind of people.
Valley's eyes moistened imperceptibly. It was a feeling she hadn't experienced in a long time.
But before Valle could wipe the tears from the corners of her eyes, the timid voices of the two children came from behind her.
"Sister Valley, where is this?"
Vallet's sense of duty reminds her that now is not the time to stop grieving, that there are more important things to be done, and countless lives to be saved. Vallet immediately turned around, hugged the two wet children, and comforted them in as calm a voice as she could.
"Don't be afraid, my sister is here, and we'll be back on the ground in no time. ”
"But what about the elven uncle?" said the older Dorien, who noticed that there was one less person in the group.
Dorian's innocent voice shattered the last line of defense in Valley's heart, and instead of answering Dorien, Vallet held back her tears, picked up her two children, and ran towards the exit of the nearby sewer.
As Valley escaped with her two children in her arms, Gilvin was standing in the broken cavern underground. He had just used all his strength to break the roof of the cave and let the rocks collapse completely seal the entrance to the sewers. Let the millennium cicadas temporarily not be able to threaten Vallei and her party, so that they can escape smoothly.
And behind Jiwen, a group of thousand-year-old cicadas are eyeing the tiger, ready to harvest this desperate prey.
This time, though, the prey moved beyond all millennial cicadas had expected.
Givens took off the transformation ring from his hand and put it in the storage ring, and his form immediately changed from a thin elven servant to a burly heavily armored warrior.
Jiwen silently pulled out the "fate" and the pure gold dagger, and then put on the starting style of the dragon warrior's sword technique, and finally scolded at the group of thousand-year-old cicadas.
", bugs, I've been putting up with you for a long time!"
