Chapter 5: The Holy King
When the morning sun came in through the window and fell softly on the bed, I slowly woke up from a deep sweet dream. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
I turned my face hidden in Vivien's hair, opened my eyes, and was about to close my eyes again when I was stimulated by the sunlight, only to find a pair of eyes watching me affectionately.
Vivien had woken up, her beautiful carcass wrapped in a sheet, and she was facing me sideways, her eyes full of sea affection in her focused gaze.
I pecked her lightly and said, "Let's go to sleep again!" He buried his head in her hair again.
"Alec, hurry up Luo, it's late, don't get up again if someone else finds out...... Shame on you......" Vivien's voice sounded softly in her ears.
I muttered, "What the hell......" I suddenly felt an itchy nose and reluctantly opened my eyes to see Vivien teasing my nose with her hair.
Seeing that I opened my eyes, Vivien begged softly, "Lord Alex, get up, please don't sleep again...... You're not a pig, how can a human be as sleepy as you! ”
I saw a sly and lovely expression on her face, and suddenly smiled wickedly, and in a flash of terror in her heart, she quickly lifted the quilt covering her, and Vivien's perfect jade body was suddenly exposed to the warm morning light.
Vivian exclaimed in surprise, her hands subconsciously covered her chest and abdomen, and her shy demeanor made me stunned for a moment, and I couldn't help laughing: "Hibiscus tent is warm, * boundless, I will also learn from the ancient kings from now on!" ”
After a while, she couldn't care about being shy anymore, came to grab the quilt with me, and saw that she couldn't rob me, so she buried her delicate body in my arms, buried her head in my arms and tickled me, clenched her hands into pink fists and gently hammered my chest, and said nonchalantly: "You are dead!" ”
I chuckled and said, "The sheets don't work." ”
"It's all you...... How do you see people...... Shame on you! Vivien said slightly, seeing the red-dyed sheets, and thinking of the good things she had done with me, her pretty face was as red as a ripe persimmon, and she was so ashamed that she wanted to find a crack in the ground to hide.
I picked up Vivien's face, kissed her red lips, and said softly, "Vivienne, I love you!" ”
Vivien had an extremely happy look on her face, and she was so excited that she even shed tears, and said movingly:
"Alec, Vivien is so happy, you finally said those three words to me!"
"Vivien, I will cherish you with my life! You are an incomparably precious gift from God......" I promised softly, and my heart was wrapped in endless tenderness and warmth. Vivian, my love, why have I always been so stingy with these three words in the past, making you so miserable, and I myself am not happy......
For the next week, I let go of my arms and enjoyed my love with Vivien, a rare carefree and happy day in my life.
Of course, in the midst of this joy and happiness, I sometimes inevitably feel regret and melancholy: how nice it would be if Li Binglan was here...... If only I could add Aaron's poem...... Only then will my life seem perfect...... Man, sometimes such an insatiable animal!
After several days of discussion, the decision-makers of the Elven Kingdom finally reached a consensus.
On this day, I was invited to the Council of Elders, which was held in the Elven Temple, the most important sacred place of the Elves, the white building where I had entered and where the Elven Heart was placed.
When I entered the hall, I was surprised to find that among the nearly 100 elders here, nearly half of them looked younger—and I later learned that the status of elders was not determined by age, but by the most intelligent, capable, status, and prestige of the people, including old men with old ages and white beards, and many young people in their prime.
Of all the elders, the Elven Queen was rightfully at the top. Since the decision of the Council of Elders is to be adopted by more than two-thirds of the votes, and the Queen's vote alone can be worth one-third of the votes of all the people present, the Queen's intention is very crucial, and since a considerable proportion of the elders are young and motivated, it is not too difficult to pass the plan of alliance with me.
I found that even Gartha Ruri appeared this time, and she sat quietly beside her mother like that, just like the usual image of the two of them. I suspect that the matter of her and me will be announced at the meeting.
Among these people, there was also a young man who particularly caught my attention, his appearance was handsome, handsome, and his hair was long and green, but his mane was prematurely gray, but this gave him a unique charm and calm bearing, and he was particularly tall and strong, which was quite peculiar among the elves of Juan Xiu.
He nodded to me in a friendly manner, and I returned the salute - and it was only later that I learned that his name was Hetgro, the leader of the Elven warriors, the leader of the Young Zhuang faction in the Council of Elders, and the most respected "big brother" in Gartha's mouth, and he played an important role in bringing about the covenant.
"Now, we have invited the new generation of Holy King, the eternal ally of the Elves, Alexandre. St. Karen. Minnes delivers the Covenant Address. The Elven Queen said.
I had a sudden break in my heart, I was not mentally prepared to speak, and while I was sorting out my thoughts, I walked to the position next to the "Elven Heart" facing everyone, but I saw Garsha Ruri cast a mocking glance at me.
I adjusted my breathing, glanced at the audience with a blazing gaze, stood upright in the field, and after diffusing the powerful momentum, I took a deep breath and said, "It is the honor of my life to be able to meet all the great warriors and wise men of the elven race!" Today, I did not expect to speak, but since Her Majesty and the Monarchs do not dislike Alex's small words, I would like to take this opportunity to get close to you and say a few words from my heart!
"I came to the Elven Kingdom with a dream! My dream is to end the thousand-year-old strife in the land of Saint-Lun, to create a peaceful and prosperous world where all races are united and peaceful forever, and to fulfill the unfinished ambition of the Holy King! This is not a great dream, but a very practical wish, a goal that is related to the interests of our races!
"Thousands of years of strife, hundreds of ethnic groups poured into each other, bringing endless sorrow and disaster to people of all ethnic groups! The results of the Bailing War have proved that no one among the hundred tribes is the victor of the war, and only the gods benefit from the war! If all ethnic groups cannot unite and struggle, they will never be able to stand on their own feet, and the dignity of life will always be trampled on worthlessly!
"The elves are a peace-loving race, and like the elves, I also yearn for peace and tranquility, for solving all problems without war, and for staying away from death and killing! But when our desire for peace cannot be realized, when our survival cannot be guaranteed, when our dignity is trampled on, what do we need to hesitate?! There is only one path ahead of us - to fight, to rise up, and to sweep away all the nations and puppets of the gods on the continent! Then the peace that belongs to us will truly come! "Of course, the road is rough and difficult, but it can come to an end! As long as we get rid of prejudices and all ethnic groups are united, our wishes will definitely be realized! Today, I have made an eternal covenant with the great elves, hoping to be able to help you through the crisis together, and become the eternal friends and brothers of the elves! Here, I promise you that I will return all the homeland of the elves, completely destroy the enemy that harmed the elves, the Aliens Empire, and eliminate the nightmare that haunts the hearts of the elves! I firmly believe that the vast Sage Continent will certainly be able to accommodate people of all races living and developing together! As long as everyone works together to overcome all difficulties, the day of coexistence and co-prosperity of all ethnic groups will surely come! ”
As soon as I finished speaking, the applause rang out like a tide, and all the elven elders stood up to greet me, and even Gasha Liuli's eyes glistened with tears of excitement.
"Holy King, please lead my people towards a better tomorrow!"
"Create a new era!
"The Holy King is with us!"
The young elders even shouted excitedly, and the old and steady ones also looked joyful.
The Elven Queen came up to me and said to me, "What a great speech! Even my heart, which is no longer young, has been aroused with youthful passion! Thank you, Holy King of our people! You have brought hope to our elves! ”
Then I signed an eternal covenant with the Elven Queen, after which the Elven Queen presided over the Elven Clan's recognition of my status as Holy King.
The elders formed a large circle around the "Elven Heart" and chanted the Elven hymn, the "Elven Prayer":
"From eternity,
In the natural gestation,
The great elves have descended on the earth.
……
We are the people of nature,
We are peace-loving messengers,
We have trekked through countless mountains, plains, and snowfields,
Come to the kingdom that the elves have been blessed by heaven.
……
We cast out evil with love,
We call for peace with courage,
We pray to the God of Nature with a pure heart
Under the guidance and protection of the Holy King,
There is no more sorrow in the earth,
Life is no longer bullied,
There will be no more war or death in the world,
Forever dispel chaos and darkness.
……
Let the sun of hope shine on the earth,
Let the elven paradise reappear in the world,
In this wonderful land,
Our elves have lived for generations,
Always peaceful and happy.
……”
The "Holy King" in the song is also a hero in the legends of the elves, and there are similar legends in various races on the continent.
In the melodious and beautiful singing, the elven queen added the holy light of the "elven heart" to me, and said in an extremely solemn voice: "I take the three hundred and ninety-second generation elven queen Desrui. The name of Bai Weina witnesses the birth of a new generation of holy kings! ”
I bowed my head and accepted the Queen's sprinkling of elven water on me, then I bowed my head and swore an oath: "I swear in the name of the Holy King - to protect the covenant with my life, and to fulfill the covenant with my will!" ”
※※※
After completing the ceremony, the Elven Queen Desrui. Bai Weina called me to her side and said with a serious expression: "Holy King Alex, in order to truly eliminate each other's mustard and integrate the power of our clan with yours, my clan hopes that you can have a more substantial expression......
I hesitated for a moment and said, "Your Majesty means ......"
The Elven Queen sighed and said, "My people hope that you can marry my daughter Liuli...... Although Ruri and Sasha are not my own daughters, they are my most beloved daughters...... I don't want them to marry someone they don't love because of their responsibilities as princesses, and cause a lifetime of misfortune...... But for the sake of the future of my elves, there are times when I have to make painful decisions...... Political marriage has been an inescapable fate for royal family members since ancient times...... This is the only viable means of allaying our people's concerns about the Covenant at this time...... Still, I was mainly willing to believe in the happiness you could bring to my daughter, and I agreed to the Council of Elders' proposal to marry Rurixia to you...... Of course, there is only one ceremony at present, as long as you agree to get engaged to Liuli, and the matter of the marriage can be discussed later. ”
I pondered for a moment and said resolutely: "I hope to respect Her Royal Highness's choice in this matter, and if Her Royal Highness the Princess is willing to pay respect, of course I will not object; If Her Royal Highness the Princess objected, I should have expressed my sincerity in other ways. ”
The Elven Queen gave me a deep look, nodded and said, "I am deeply grateful and grateful that you were able to make such a decision, as their mother...... Since your heart is like this, let you decide the marriage contract after you and Liuli meet in person. ”
After a brief pause, the elf queen continued: "In terms of people's hearts, I can't match your ......."
I understood the implicit meaning of these words, but I didn't reply, just exchanged glances with the queen in understanding.
Coming out of the elven temple, the bright sun spread on me, my heart was surrounded by a fiery emotion that was hotter than the afternoon sun, full of pride, high spirits, exuding a strong momentum, suddenly there was an urge to look up to the sky and smile, unbridled the ocean, and point to the country, but there was only a confident smile on my face.
After a brief pause outside the temple, I took a firm step and strode away—not realizing that my black pupils had once again turned into a dazzling gold.
Vivien, who came out of the wake of me, later recalled: At that time, you had a smile on your face that was brighter than the afternoon sun, a pair of golden eyes shining with a dazzling light, and your long red hair fluttering freely in the air without wind, and you looked like a god with high spirits and slanted eyes. Looking up at your tall back, I suddenly lost the ability to think and breathe, and there was only one thing left in my heart - that is, emotion.
I stood alone on the edge of the lake, admiring the beautiful scenery of the dusk, a beautiful lake called "elven eyes" by the elves, like a beautiful woman who had just bathed in the sun, lying on her back on a blanket covered with green grass, gently stretching her body.
I waited quietly for Gasha Ruri's arrival, and my heart was at peace.
At this moment, a tall and majestic unicorn flew up to me, leisurely drawing water by the lake, seemingly completely oblivious to my presence.
Suddenly, it flapped its wings lightly and raised its head to stare at me. The pure white noble color, the tall and mighty figure, the pale blue flowing light, the majestic and arrogant look - this unicorn not only gave me a sense of intimacy, but also, strangely, I felt that I was not standing in front of me, but as if I were standing in front of me, not as if I were a person.
When my eyes came into contact with its sapphire eyes, my heart was deeply shaken, and the spiritual frequencies of the two sides suddenly reached the same in an instant, and the silent communication was transmitted back and forth through each other's gaze, and in the spiritual circuit, we could actually feel each other's emotions and thoughts - what an incredible scene!
A call came out of my mind and said, "Thunder! ”
This is the name of this unicorn beast that pops into my mind.
The unicorn nodded its head as if it had answered my call, and then walked towards me with four hooves.
I didn't feel myself as I greeted it, and when I got to it, the man and the beast looked at each other again for a while, and suddenly it tilted its head and snuggled up to me, and licked my face with its tongue affectionately, and I also stretched out my hands and gently stroked its mane. It was as if we had known each other for a long time, and I felt a sense of intimacy and joy reuniting old friends who had been separated for many years. Just as sometimes there is an inexplicable intimacy when people meet each other for the first time, I actually have this similar feeling for the unicorn beast Thunderbe.
At this moment, the unicorn thunder suddenly raised his head and stared at my rear vigilantly with an incomparably majestic attitude, and my heart moved, and I turned around, only to find that there was already one more person behind me.
But this person is not Princess Gartha Ruri whom I have been waiting for, but the leader of the elven warriors who has a relationship with him in the elven temple, Hetegro!
This man was able to appear silently behind me, regardless of his skill as a warrior, but his magical prowess was astonishing—only by wielding the magic of the wind to the point of considerable proficiency and sophistication could he completely avoid my ears and eyes. It can be said that my magical power of combining aesthetics and sword fighting qi may be above him, but his skill and delicacy in the use of magic are beyond my reach, and at present, the fusion of my aesthetic magic, sword skills and sword fighting qi is still in the embryonic stage, and it needs to be constantly improved and corrected.
"A little surprised to see me, right? Your Majesty! I'm Hetegro, the head of the Elven Warriors," Hetegro said with a smile, his calm bearing and kind smile made people feel at ease and cordial, "Actually, I'm even more surprised, I didn't expect that the unicorn beast that has always only dealt with us Elves would get along with you so well!" And the king of unicorns, Lei Bu, is notoriously arrogant, and has always rejected people for thousands of miles, even our elves don't pay attention to it, but now he takes the initiative to approach you! Unicorn beasts are very mysterious creatures that can travel and survive in various parallel dimensions, and they suddenly appeared when our people settled here...... Saint King Alex, you often bring surprises, and you are always able to surprise people - you are alone in the face of a dozen first-class warriors of our clan, calmly and fearlessly, passing through the fog barrier in a strange way, wonderful and exciting speeches...... I believe you will bring us more surprises in the future! ”
At this time, the unicorn thunder suddenly let out a long hiss to me, and then spread its wings and flew away, I stared at its distant back, a little stunned, but I knew that it and I had a strange life connection, I believe that we will meet again soon.
I looked back at this extraordinary leader of the elven warriors, and said, "Mr. has won the award, Mr. can be called a handsome man for a while, his bearing and demeanor are admirable, and he should have something to do in the future Shenglun Storm." If you shrink in the elven kingdom, it is like a buried pearl and a dusty famous sword, only in the outside world, the pearl can shine, the famous sword can show its edge, and only in a broader space can you display your talents and spread your wings freely! Soar! ”
Hetegro smiled heartily and said, "The Holy King is worthy of being the Holy King, and he really has something extraordinary!" No wonder Your Majesty says that you have a unique acumen and means of grasping people's hearts, and that you can easily see through my unwilling heart—which is why I have tried so hard to promote the alliance! However, as a warrior of the elven race, the primary mission is to protect the lives and safety of our people, which is the honor and pride of Hetgro! However, I believe that we will have a chance to fight together! Once the fate of the elven people is closely combined with the fate of the Holy King, such a day will not be far away. ”
I also knew that there were some things that I couldn't rush, so I changed the subject and said, "Did Garsha Ruri ask you to come to me?" ”
Hetgro shook his head and said, "No, I offered to meet you first. I grew up watching Liuli, and I cherish her like my own sister, so I want to see if the person my sister is going to make a promise to her for the rest of her life has the right qualities. Now I know the answer! There's also the question of whether you can promise her a lifetime of happiness? ”
I breathed a sigh of relief and replied, "I can only promise to fulfill my sincerity!" Love needs both parties to manage and pay, if Her Royal Highness the princess is just forced to marry me reluctantly due to the situation, with a resentful heart, how can there be happiness? So I want her to follow her heart and make decisions. ”
Hete Gro silently read my words a few times, nodded and said, "It's enough to have your words, I believe that Liuli will be willing to marry you even if she has to marry you in the situation...... I've entrusted the glass to you, so let's talk slowly...... I'm looking forward to the day when I will fight with you sooner rather than later! ”
After Hetgro left, Gartha Ruri came to me with the sound of small footsteps, bowing her head and not saying a word.
After a period of awkward silence, I finally couldn't help but say, "Your Highness, have you decided?" ”
Hearing this, Garsha Liuli raised her head and said with a smug face, "Do I still have a choice?" Alec, you're such a domineering person! Ostensibly leave the decision to me, and let you win the hearts and minds of my people...... In essence, the situation you created gave me no chance of refusal! ”
"Maybe you're right...... But I don't have a choice! There are many things in the world that are ...... out of your own volition," I said softly, "and if it is a lifetime of pain for you to involve you in my life, I will do everything I can to avoid this engagement...... I don't want the women around me to have only resentment towards me, the man who can't bring happiness to his own woman is a failed man, and the man who can't love his own woman is an unhappy man...... Garsha Ruri, do you already have someone you like? ”
When Gasha Ruri heard my words, her whole body was shaken, and she raised her head to look at me, but her face was already pale, and she said in a trembling voice, "You...... How did you guess that? ”
I gently grabbed her shoulders, examined Gasha's delicate face, and said, "Do you still need to guess?" I don't think this thing can fool people...... Garsha Ruri, because you are the woman I like, I want you to make a decision that you don't regret yourself, so I give you the chance to choose! If this marriage contract is not what you want, I will give an explanation to the noble elders in another way, and I will not embarrass you. If you decide to marry me, I don't ask you about your past, but your future can only belong to me, and you must be dedicated to me in the future! In that case, I will cherish you with my life! That's the only thing I can promise you. In my life, I will never allow any more women around me to betray me! ”
Gartha Ruri said sadly: "If I refuse this marriage contract, I will truly feel guilty for the rest of my life!" I can't be so selfish as to look out for myself and my own interests! If I do, I will never be able to forgive myself for the rest of my life! Maybe I'm a very headstrong person who doesn't care about the feelings of the people around me, but I'm not so selfish that I live only for myself. ”
I gently wiped away the tears that kept splashing on her jade cheeks, and said gently: "Princess Liuli, I never expected that my arrival would bring you such pain and sorrow...... I am the author of all your troubles and sorrows, so to speak...... I'm the one who loses you! I'm sorry, Garsha Ruri! ”
Garsha Ruri tried her best to shake off all the tears on her face, and said in a convulsive but firm voice, "Actually, I should be grateful to you, your arrival has given my people hope and an opportunity to escape their bad luck...... In the days to come, I will try to learn how to love you...... You didn't fail me, it's just the arrangement of fate, maybe from the moment I met you in the Delicate Forest, from the moment I hurt you rudely, I must spend my life to repay the debt of offending the Holy King, I am destined to belong to you...... This is the fate of Ruri...... Being able to be your wife may also be the greatest achievement of my Garsha Ruri in her life! In this capacity, we will promote the practice of the covenant and the rotation of the wheels of continental history......"
※※※
Back at the lodgings, Vivien and Luo Bai were sitting at the dining table, a table full of sumptuous food, but they had not yet eaten. Luo Bai was both respectful and afraid of me, so although he was hungry and croaking, he still waited for me to come back before he dared to eat, and Vivian would not eat first until I came back - I told them that they could eat first, but Vivian insisted: "Waiting is also a kind of happiness", and I can't say anything - in fact, being waited for is also a kind of happiness. only bitter Luo Bai, accompanied by hunger.
Luo Bai is quite insistent on some things, and he thinks that it is cruel to let a beautiful woman wait alone and eat alone—this kind of thief-like gentlemanly demeanor is still quite cute.
When she saw me come in, Vivien greeted me happily and said, "The princess agreed?" ”
I just nodded slightly, and Vivien, seeing that there was no joy on my face, didn't ask any more questions, but just carefully added food to me. I silently started my dinner, and everyone seemed to be infected by me, and fell into silence for a while.
After a while, Luo Bai seemed to be a little unable to stand the dull pressure, and while stuffing food into his mouth, implementing the great idea of eating the Jing people poor, he muttered vaguely: "Let us wait for more than an hour, and when we come back, we will have a stinky face, silent, as if we owe you a debt...... Who are we messing with? ”
I suddenly raised my head to look at him, and my cold gaze frightened Luo Bai so much that he was almost swallowed by the food again, he swallowed his saliva violently, trembled and said, "I ...... I didn't mean you ......," but I said, "Luo Bai, why did you choose a profession like a thief?" ”
Luo Bai was stunned, he didn't expect me to ask such a question, he thought about it, and replied: "I am an orphan, since I was a child, I have been learning the skills of thieves and stealing things with an old man...... My goal is to become the greatest thief in the world and steal all the valuables in the world. ”
I gently shook the fruit wine in the glass, poured a deep gaze into Luo Bai's eyes, as if implanted in his soul, and then said slowly: "Luo Bai, what do you know the most precious item? What kind of thief is the greatest thief? ”
Luo Bai thought seriously for a while, and finally replied dejectedly: "I don't know." ”
I smiled faintly, but said something that shocked Luo Bai incomparably: "The most precious thing in the world is none other than the Holy Lun Earth, and the greatest thief is the thief who steals the world!" Luo Bai, are you willing to help me steal the world? If you promise to be my help, I will give you untold wealth and power you can't imagine, and you will go down in history as the greatest thief in history! ”
"Stealing the world?"
Luo Bai was stunned, and I didn't push further, so I gave him time to slowly digest this shocking content, leisurely sipped the fruit wine, and sighed: "It's really a very good fruit wine, the elf clan's wine-making technology is superb, and the mellow aroma of the wine and the fragrance of the juice are just right." ”
After a long time, Luo Bai spit out a heavy breath of turbidity and said, "Steal the world...... This is probably an ambition that all thieves dare not imagine...... Can you do it? ”
I unleashed a powerful momentum to hold his mind tightly, and replied proudly, "I am the Holy King of the Hundred Clans!" In the whole world, who can do this, who else can do it? ”
Luo Bai also seemed to be strongly infected, his breathing became heavy, his mood became excited, and his tone became eager: "Lord Alex...... No, Your Majesty, what can I do for you? I only have the ability to steal and escape, and I don't know anything else......"
I replied solemnly, "I just like your extraordinary stealing skills and ghostly body!" For those who take the world, intelligence is very important! I need you to train a large number of intelligence agents with your stealing skills and uncanny skills for me, scattered to all the major countries and cities on the mainland, and go deep into the hubs of various places to eavesdrop on all kinds of useful information for me! ”
Luo Bai's face lit up, and he said excitedly: "I didn't expect that the skills of a thief like mine would be so useful...... It's the first time I've lived so long and been held so seriously...... I am willing to serve you, and in the future you will be useful to me, just command! ”
"Good!" I stood up, stretched out my hand and clasped Luo Bai's arm, and said, "Welcome to my camp!" After leaving the elven kingdom, I will give me a handwritten letter, you take it to Meinster in the desert of the 'Heart of Death', and give the letter to my brother, 'Hurricane of Death' Memphis, who will provide you with all the manpower to train spies and the belongings to open up the joints everywhere, so that you can carry out my plan...... But, Luo Bai, I will also say ugly things in front, if you dare to betray me and live up to my expectations, even if you run to the ends of the earth, I will crush you to ashes! You have seen the skills of the elven warriors, and their ability to be spies may not be as good as yours, but the light and swift skills and powerful martial arts that come and go without a trace are beyond your reach, and it is very easy to hunt you down. ”
Luo Bai nodded heavily and said, "Lord Alex, please rest assured! It is the honor of my life to be valued by adults! Although I am just a thief, I am faithful and bloody! I swear in the name of S. Ostasria, the god of thieves, that I will never betray you! ”
After I explained some key points in detail, I asked Luo Bai to slowly sort out his thoughts alone, and it could be seen that Luo Bai's spirit was very high, and he wished that he would immediately go to Mainster to implement that plan, and tonight might be a sleepless night for Luo Bai.
Of course, this night will probably be a sleepless night for many people, for Luo Bai, for Hetgro, for Garsha Ruri, and for me. After dinner, I stood in front of the windowsill in my room, looking up at the starry sky, and my thoughts were in a state of confusion.
When Vivien's shredded footsteps came to me and she hugged me from behind, my heart was filled with a feeling of warmth and calm.
"Alex, didn't Princess Liuli agree to marry you? Why are you upset? Vivien's soft, soft voice was full of concern.
I turned Vivien's body, grabbed Vivien's shoulders and put her next to my chest, and said, "The reason why Garsha Ruri agreed to marry me was out of desperation...... I don't have the joy of marriage, but I feel guilty of forced marriage......"
"Alex, you don't need to be upset and guilty, in this extremely evil time, the greatest sorrow of being a woman is that she does not have the autonomy of her own life, and a woman is destined not to be able to choose her husband...... Although it is forced by the situation, but Princess Liuli can meet you, it is also a kind of luck as a woman, there are few men like you who know how to cherish the women around you, I believe she will fall in love with you sooner or later...... Like me, I have unconsciously planted a deep affection for you......"
"Vivien, Gartha Glass is in a different situation than you...... She's the one who has her heart...... I'm afraid she'll never be able to love me as much as you do, and I'll never be able to face her with confidence...... There will always be an irreparable scar between us, and there will always be an invisible thorn in our feelings......"
"Princess Liuli has a sweetheart? Who could it be? Vivien asked in surprise.
"I didn't ask." I smiled wryly and shook my head, a smart man should never ask his woman about the past man, otherwise it will only make him unhappy, but when I think like this, the image of Hetgro can't help but appear in my mind, and my heart moves: Could it be him? Although it is confirmed from Heyte Gro that he regards Gasha Ruri as his own sister, it is not difficult to understand if Gasha Ruri has feelings for Hetgro other than brother and sister. It's not uncommon for a brother and sister relationship to develop from a childhood sweetheart, and it was this way that Kalisa and I started, but the relationship didn't last until the end and died halfway through. Although for now, Garza Ruri's feelings for Hete Gro are only one-sided, but if I hadn't intervened, maybe they would have been in a lover relationship in the future, so in this sense, I ruined Garza Ruri's hopes for happiness, so it was inevitable that she would have a grudge against me.
But...... With Hetgro's intelligence, he shouldn't be able to detect Gasha Ruri's feelings for him, right? A straightforward woman like Garsha Liuli, her girl's heart is as clear as a shadow in the sun, and there is no way to hide. If Heytgro knows that Gartha Ruri has a love for him and pushes her to my side, there are only two answers: one is that he is forced by the situation to have no choice but to choose, and he himself has no feelings for her Garsha Ruri other than brother and sister, and he also thinks that I am the person whom Garsha Ruri is enough to entrust for life; The second is to make Gartha Ruri a pawn by my side that can balance me, as long as her heart is always on Hetgro, Hetgro can use it to restrain my actions, so as to protect the interests of the elves and achieve his own goals. Could it be the latter possibility? Maybe I'm overthinking, my experience has made me see too much of the dark side of human nature, so that I always unconsciously guess people's hearts from the most sinister angle......
I shook my head, put aside these useless thoughts, and turned my mind to my impression of Hetgro himself.
Several of the outstanding men I have met—Dictieno, Memphis, and Hetgro all embody a heroic and hearty temperament, but there are slight differences in their personalities: Dictieno is a standard soldier, who abides by his duties and is a loyal and brave soldier; Memphis is rough and bold and meticulous, emphasizing friendship and friendship, and is a friend who can be trusted; Hetgro, on the other hand, is calm and wise in his boldness, and he is more cunning and ambitious than them, and he is the choice of a brave and resourceful general, but it is not easy to control, and it is impossible to gain his loyalty if I cannot show enough ability to convince him in the future.
Thinking of this, I held up Vivian's face and kissed her deeply on the lips, Vivi was safe and soft, fell into my arms with a "woo", and said obsessively: "Alex, Vivian has moved......"
I smiled heartily and began to indulge in love with Vivian, but I thought to myself: Vivian, the only people I can trust without reservation now are you and Li Binglan...... There used to be Mr. Vitan......
The next night, the elves held a grand dinner to celebrate the covenant, and the open-air feast set around the "Elven Eye" lake stretched several times, and countless candlelight on the banquet projected onto the center of the lake, blending with the projection of the stars, making the "Elven Eye" present a magnificent and splendid beautiful scene.
Almost all the elves who were able to attend the meeting came, and everyone rushed to catch a glimpse of me, the new "Holy King", and enthusiastic cheers came one after another. And Sasha, who I haven't seen for a long time and was punished and grounded, also appeared this time, and how excited she was to bounce around me and Garsha Ruri, as if she was happier than us parties, maybe children are born to like lively and festive scenes.
During the feast, the elven queen Desrui. Bai Weina officially announced the news of Princess Garsha Ruri's engagement to me, which pushed the festive atmosphere of the banquet to a climax, and the scene of me kissing Gasha Ruri, who was already his fiancée, pushed the excitement to a boiling point. In the eyes of others, what a pair of golden boys and girls we are!
Gasha's lips were cold and cold when I kissed, and when I kissed them, I could still feel her lips trembling and trembling slightly, and her smile was more helpless and far-fetched - I knew in my heart that from now on, we would probably become a good couple.
When I left the Elven Kingdom, the Elven Queen led a group of elders and elven warriors to see me off in person, and of course Garsha Liuli, Sasha, and Hetgro were also present. In the farewell, my fiancée didn't show too much parting sorrow to me, but barely squeezed out a trace of emotion and said: "My husband's future is precious." ”
Instead, Sasha cried to death, holding Vivian and me tightly by the sleeves, crying and begging mournfully: "Big brother, big sister, don't go!" ”
At parting, the Elven Queen presented me with a set of golden armor as thin as a cicada's wings and a transparent mask made of an unknown substance. The golden armor is created by the elven craftsmen of the previous generations, and the queens of the past generations have been protected by magic, so the golden armor is also called the "queen's protection", which not only has super protection power, can resist general physical attacks, but also has the effect of calming the mind. The transparent mask is made of the spar of the "Elven Heart", called "Xiangrong", which has magical power, as long as you inject your own magic power into it, you can conjure up the image you want according to your own mind, which is very convenient for me to walk the continent in the future, without fear of being discovered.
When I arrived at the Fog Barrier, the unicorn king Thunderbe suddenly flew down to me.
I patted it on the neck affectionately and said as if to an old friend, "Are you here to see me off?" ”
I saw Lei be shook his head, hissed lightly, my heart moved, and said, "Do you want to follow me?" ”
Thunder stomped his front hooves as if he agreed, and nodded his head slightly.
I was very happy to be able to walk with Thunderbe, but then I became worried, because if I brought a unicorn with me, I was afraid that it would cause a huge stir in the outside world.
As if sensing my distress, he licked my face with his tongue, and then raised his head and hissed, and the horns and wings on his body slowly retracted into his body, and finally disappeared completely, and even the light blue light on his body was gone, making him look like a relatively handsome white horse.
After leaving the elf, Rob said goodbye to us and headed for Meinster for his own future. Me, Vivien, and the unicorn Thunderbe walked to the end of my journey, the Lost Forest.
Three days later, guided by the guiding light of the "Diamond of St. Pian's", we entered the Lost Forest surrounded by layers of white mist and miasma. There, I spent a year of spiritual practice, and when I walked out of the Lost Forest and appeared in the "Heart of Death" desert, a great era of change was about to cross me.
