Chapter 39: The Oasis of the Elves
"It's a strange ceiling again...... Well, according to the news left by the clone, Tifa and I were brought here by the elves? It's really my doppelganger. Well. Sakura nodded to herself, got up from the bed, and shook Tifania beside her.
"Eh, Sakura-chan, we, this is ......," Tifania said sleepily.
"Are you awake?" said Lucosiana, who had just finished taking a shower, wiping her wet head with a towel as she looked for clothes to put on. Fortunately, unlike the original book, there are no men here, so there are no embarrassing plots.
"Tifa, this is supposed to be the realm of the elves, isn't it, Lukosana. Sakura guessed 100 percent...... But why is there desert all around?"
"Yes, this is our country, Nefts. As for the desert, that's because it's just a place for me and my fiancé to get ready for our vacation. Lukoshana said, but then she was stunned, "How do you know my name?"
"Didn't that male elf call you that? Well, there was another one named Madav at the time. Sakura said as she reminisced. Sakura said, gesturing to a mark on her wrist, "By the way, the sealing technique you put on me for insurance is useless. Sakura added, threateningly. After saying that, Sakura pointed her finger directly at the window.
Immortal Method, Lan Dun, Laser Diffuser Cannon――――
A blue-white beam of light shot out of the window, and then split into four, and then into sixteen...... Eventually, hundreds of beams shot into the air............ Sakura nodded with satisfaction, this was a new technique experiment. The elf's seal faced the mana and didn't react to the chakra at all.
"Have you always been awake?, then, why did you not resist being caught?" asked Lukosana, a little embarrassed. There are very few elves who can carry the move just now, and to make the same attack, it takes a long time to chant, but Sakura is out with her hand raised.
"Originally, I wanted to solve you at that time, but after listening to your words, I thought, should I talk to you? The Pope of the human race is discussing how to take back the Holy Land of the First Ancestor from your elves and save the world from the crisis. But my master, Tifa, is also a person who doesn't like to fight, and as a half-elf, she is also very uncomfortable caught between humans and elves. Isn't it, Tifa?" Sakura said.
"Well," Tifa nodded, "why did you say that our death would bring peace to the elves?" ”
"Well, to sum up, I want to talk to you about the sacred land of humans, what exactly is it to you elves? ”
"Yes, yes. It seems that the excuse that I had made nonsense about the two races uniting to face the disaster in order to observe and study the half-elves may really come true. Lukoshana forced a smile and said, "Well, after all, one of you is a half-elf, and the other is a person who is approved by the natural elves, and at the same time has been endowed with elven powers. Maybe it really works—"
"First of all, the Holy Land you are talking about is the territory of the devil in our eyes, and here is the Demon Gate, which the purpose of the Romanian Pope is to open the Demon Gate. Elves are a peaceful race. I have always disliked war. Although there are predators, they are still inclined to peace overall, after all, we are the descendants of the spirit of nature. Lukoshana's tone gradually turned dark.
"What I understand is that every once in a while, disasters happen in this world. Gathering the four Void Inheritors and the Demon Messenger to the Holy Land of the First Ancestor would put an end to this catastrophe. As I have seen before, Albion was not Albion a long time ago because of this catastrophe, but was supported by a large number of wind stones and floated into the sky. Therefore, in order to prevent the next floating island in Halcania and endanger the safety of the people, the Pope summoned us to attack the Holy Land. Sakura recalled the history books and the Pope's words and said in confusion. ”
"The holy land you are talking about is the Demon Gate, which can never be opened, because the last liberation, that is, more than 6,000 years ago, half of our elves died, and the books and the like left by the ancestors of mankind may not be justified for the benefit of mankind itself. The original purpose of the human ancestors was to pass on the disaster to the elves, and to turn the disaster of the human race into the disaster of the elves. This is a manifestation of human selfishness. Lukoshana said.
"How so?" exclaimed Tifania.
"Can you confirm what you said?" Sakura asked.
"Don't you believe me? I think there should be no one in this world who can stop you, I don't have to lie to you. Lukoshana said, "How do you know that?"
"Look me in the eye. Sakura's eyes turned red.
Illusion and hypnosis――――
For a moment-
"Well, you're right. It seems that the Pope may have lied to us, and we can't listen to one side of the story. Sakura remembered something, paused, and said, "But, some time ago, I used to communicate with the water spirits, and the relationship between the void and the water spirits seems to be good, what's going on?" Sakura asked suspiciously. ”
"Oh, I remember!" Lukoshana followed, "Uncle has investigated our Sages Anubis and Gandalfr, they have something in common, and he has been investigating many secret things...... She has a left hand like light, and she has defeated the demons that appeared during the Great Tribulation (more than half of the elves were killed and wounded), if Anubis and Gandalfr were the same person............"
"Oh, I also remember, the history of mankind records that the ancestor made the demon Gandalfr, an elf, Sasha............ So the demon is the progenitor Brimir, and then Sasha killed Brimir and became the saint of the elves?" Sakura continued.
In this way, it is roughly sorted out, and when the so-called "Demon Gate" is opened, the elves will suffer heavy casualties, and then there will be no floating islands flying into the sky. In general, it is the sacrifice of a few lives (the elven population is much smaller than humans) to prevent a world-class catastrophe, a typical strategy of sacrificing a few to save the many. But why is there such a strange system?
"I'll take a look at the so-called Demon Gate, okay? It will take four Void Inheritors to open that door, and only me and Tifa should have nothing to fear. Sakura makes a request here. ”
"This ...... I can't be the master. "My uncle should be here in a few days, or how about you and Tiffania spend a few days here?" "Luke Shana is a casual elf, and she doesn't have the same fear of Sakura as ordinary elves, and this fear comes from the identity of the Void Demon and the person recognized by the nature elves, and its irresistible power. But Lukoshana didn't feel inhibited.
"Well, well, the scenery here is really good, and the natural energy of the elven kingdom is also very abundant, which is very suitable for me to improve my immortal arts...... It's what you call the power of the spirits. How about you, Tifa, you want to get acquainted with your mother's hometown, too?" Sakura said, looking out the window.
"Eh, is that really good?" said Tiffania.
"No problem, on the human side, I (the clone) will also solve the problem. Tifa, if you can trust me in choosing between humans and elves, then leave it to me. Now, it's rare to come to this place, so why don't you just have fun? Sakura said, but she didn't know how to do it, so she still had to go to the Ancestor's Holy Land or the Demon Gate to see it first. (To be continued)
