【Chapter 528】 Clear Journey
The determination is strong, and the ideals are good.
However, time passes much more slowly in dreams than in the outside world.
Perhaps anyone who has dreamed has experienced the same feeling, obviously experiencing a series of things in the dream, and the time span is even a few days, but when you wake up, you find that the time is only a few hours, or even ten minutes.
Esrena, Hadilis, and Iluri have little sense of the passage of time.
But Qin Song understood it clearly......
The dusk of Arabe fell, and the warriors, who had been tired and rested all day, came out of their tents one after another, ready for the attack of the night.
"Strange, Rena hasn't gotten up yet?"
The elves gathered in front of Rena's tent as they had done before, waiting for her to lead them up to the city wall to guard the area.
It's just that it's a little strange today.
There was no movement in the tent.
The dutiful Rena has always been the first to wake up, without exception.
The slightly older Elbran, who had been an elven ranger like Rena and had a lot of experience, immediately realized that something was wrong and immediately came to the door of Rena's tent.
"Rena, Iruli?"
He shouted tentatively, but there was no response. Albran's heart lifted at once, and he opened the curtain without hesitation. At a glance, Rena, Iruli and the petite Hadilith were lying side by side on the ground, covered in a strange layer of light.
It seemed as if a strange magic had been cast, but Albran did not act rashly, and slowly exited the tent, telling Iliel to invite the sisters to gather, and told everything without any concealment.
The elves looked at each other, and no one could tell what was going on. Iriel, a young elf who had a good relationship with Iluri, frowned and said, "This morning, Iluri and I came down from the city wall together. As I was packing up my tent, I saw Hadilith coming. It's just that the three of them walked to the side, not knowing what to say. I didn't pay much attention to it. ”
Albran groaned, "Don't panic, everyone. Listen to me, Rena and Iluri believe in the gods of dreams, and I suspect they entered a state of some kind in their sleep. But what happened still needs to be verified. Don't climb the walls of the city but guard your tents. Eliel, you know Hadilys's sister Galia Fisher, please inquire and you may learn the purpose of Hadilith's visit. ”
"Okay. ”
Dusk means a perilous night is coming, and Rena is their backbone and main force. Realizing the seriousness of the matter, Iliel hurried away, shouldering her scimitar and carrying her bow and arrows.
The elves stood silent outside the tent, while Elbran burrowed into the tent to watch for any other changes.
The distance from the Elven Wall Station to the Mage Regiment's Station is not a short distance. But Iriel returns quickly - she meets Galia on the way, who is looking for Hadilis.
"Elbrand, Miss Fisher is here. ”
Eliel announced, and Galia, who knew everything on the way, was so anxious that she left her politeness behind and lifted the door curtain.
"Miss Fisher......"
"Hadilith. Jialia called anxiously, randomly full of apologies: "Sorry, I forgot to be polite just now." She, no, what's wrong with them? What happened? I listened to Iriel's description on the way, the brilliance in them. ”
"I understand your feelings. Albrand replied calmly, "Trust me, I'm just as worried as you are. It's just that being anxious doesn't help, and I've seen that they're supposed to be asleep, breathing smoothly and not looking like there's anything wrong with them. ”
"Sleep state?" Esrena's and Iluri's beliefs were kept absolutely secret, and Galia couldn't understand the implicit meaning behind the sleep state: "I don't quite understand what you mean, is there any connection between the sleep state and the radiance on the body?"
"Frankly, it has something to do with Esrena and Iluri's source of magic. I can't explain it in detail, and in fact, I don't know. Elbran shook her head, she wasn't lying, even though Esrena and Iluri had explained it to her, they hadn't experienced it herself, so it wasn't easy to understand.
"It's almost nightfall. ”
Galia's brows were furrowed, she knew more about Arabe's predicament than the elves, in a group of mages with more information. Today's city of Arabe is besieged internally and externally, embattled on all sides, and will collapse at any time. The Three French Parliaments met for several days, and the most discussed was the escape plan.
Yes, abandon the city, and flee.
The powerful mage group is the most likely to escape. Even those nobles will be the object of abandonment, let alone the commoners.
The reason why the decision was not made was because the Council of the Three Laws had not yet received the consent of the Hand of Mystery. The elders, who live in seclusion in the Mystical Mage's Tower, are always silent.
The Elder Mage is the spiritual leader of all the magicians, and the high-ranking Council of the Three Dharmas cannot ignore their opinions. Under heavy pressure, there was a gradual disagreement within the Three French Parliaments about whether to flee or to hold on.
Among them, Archmage Ilyins advocated preparing to retreat, and if at the last moment, the Elder Mage Group still did not respond, they would choose to break through and save the fire of free thinking.
Another archmage, Kolmok, advocated retreating to the core mage area, using the Mystical Mage Tower as the last bastion, and advancing and retreating with the elder mage group.
Everyone's eyes were focused on the last archmage, Douro, who was over eighty years old and known as the Honorable Will, and like the Elder Mage group, remained silent.
Regardless of the final decision.
Galia knew it.
Time is running out for Arabe.
Hadilyse is her family, and even if it is the worst solution - death, she will choose to hold on with her family until the last moment.
"Elbrand, have you tried to wake them up?" Galia glanced worriedly at the twilight sky, and said in a solemn tone, "Night has fallen, and danger has followed. ”
"This ......" Albrande did try to wake them up, but she stopped, she didn't know what the consequences would be, and she couldn't take the risk.
"My advice is, it's better not to. ”
Albrand took a deep breath and briefly made eye contact with Eliel, who was standing beside him, whose lips squirmed and stopped.
Galia cupped her forehead in distress: "Then what should we do? Just wait? God, I'm really confused." If sleep is Eslena and Iluri's magical secret, what about Hadiris, and why would she fall asleep? ”
Iliel pursed her lips, and finally couldn't help but whisper, "Maybe she also got some kind of revelation." ”
"Revelation?" "Revelation?" "Galia Huo Ran raised her head and stared at Iliel with burning eyes, "What do you mean?
Elbran gave Eliel a helpless look, Eslena had warned her that it was best not to reveal their beliefs to outsiders without permission.
But Eliel is too young and her personality is not very calm.
Eliel shrunk her neck, "Elbrand, I think...... Galia is not an outsider, she has given us a lot of care. Have you forgotten that on the rainy night when Uncle Carlin came back from the dead, she braved the rain to come to her aid. Later, it also helped us move into the aristocratic quarter......"
"I understand all of this. ”
At this point, Elbran faced Galia's surprised eyes, and coupled with the fact that Rena and Iruli's situation was unknown, it seemed that there was no good choice.
Perhaps, as a magician, Galia can give some advice.
"I'm sorry, Miss Fisher. I didn't mean to hide it from you. Albrand smiled wryly: "It's a responsibility to keep a secret for a friend. But now...... I don't seem to have a choice. ”
Jialia didn't blame her, and solemnly touched her chest: "I swear in the name of the Fisher family that I will never reveal your secrets without permission. ”
