Chapter 52: The Danger of Extermination
"Elder Caroline is awake!"
"Elder, you're fine, are you?"
"Elder, you're finally awake!"
The main hall of the Naga tribe was full of people, and everyone sighed around the guardian elder who had just woken up.
After Rena left, Carefree immediately treated the seriously injured Xudra after recovering her magic power, and under the treatment of light magic, Xudra's deep wound finally healed, but her body has not yet healed, and it still needs a period of recovery.
Elena persuaded him to leave to heal, but the stubborn Xudra refused to leave after knowing that Daorena had defected, and was ready to stay with Elena to protect her.
Elena was very helpless about his actions, and finally chose to ignore him and entered the protective shield of the main hall with everyone.
Rena's betrayal was too big a blow for the Naga tribe, the Naga people who had always been innocent were all hanging their heads, all of them were very unrefreshed, their high priest turned out to be a traitor, and a respectful person became an enemy, such a thing was too difficult to accept.
"You guys?" Looking at the crowd around her, Elder Caroline, who had just woken up, felt very confused, and her clear eyes revealed incomprehension.
"What's going on?" Seeing everyone's worried looks, Caroline asked.
Her question made everyone shut up in unison, their heads bowed, not knowing how to answer.
"Elder Caroline, it's good that you're fine, the artifact was stolen, you fell into a coma, do you know who stole the artifact?" It was Medusa who spoke first, she and Caroline were like sisters, and Caroline's daughter made such a big mistake, and she also felt heartache.
"The Poseidon Trident was stolen? How so? Hearing Medusa's words, Caroline's already pale face became even more ugly, her eyes flashed with disbelief, and her body trembled slightly from overexcitement.
"It's Ricky, she came to see me, and then I don't remember!" did not protect her daughter, Caroline directly said the scene at that time.
Listening to her words, there was silence in the hall, only the sound of gasping remained, Ricky did not leave, at this time she was living in a room next to her, in their opinion the real traitor was High Priest Rena, but Caroline woke up and pointed out that Ricky, could it be that the two were complicit, thinking of this, everyone looked at their queen, I don't know what Queen Ludao thought.
"Are you sure it's Ricky and not High Priest Reyna that you've seen last?" Medusa asked cautiously.
"Rena, what's wrong with Rena? Hasn't she been in the temple all along? She's back? ”
Caroline wondered why the queen would ask that.
"No need to ask, that's right, it's me who stunned my mother!"
A weak voice came from the doorway.
Looking in the direction of the sound, it was Ricky standing against the door frame.
Her face was a little pale and her lips were chapped due to the injury, and she didn't continue to speak, leaning on the door frame and walking inside.
When she came to Caroline's side, Ricky's eyes were already red and her eyes were full of tears, and she reached out and attached a hand to Caroline's hand.
This was the first time Ricky had taken the initiative to hold her hand, so Caroline didn't hide either.
Ricky's fingers were cold, but Caroline felt her heart warm.
She is the elder of the guardian artifact, and after giving birth to the Ruiqi sisters, her life is linked to the artifact, and family, affection and so on no longer belong to her.
She is not a cold-blooded person, every year she will go home to visit her two daughters, watching them get bigger and bigger, she feels that her heart is becoming more and more uncomfortable, and when her daughter gradually becomes sensible, she goes home less and less, and her daughter's relationship with herself is becoming more and more alienated.
Every time she saw the same awe and fear in her daughter's eyes as everyone else, she felt that her heart was dripping blood, but this was her mission, and she had no choice.
Ricky came to see her that day, she was so happy, she couldn't remember how long it had been since she had been home, she had heard that Rickie had become the queen's lady-in-waiting, and Raina had become a high priestess, and their glory had long since surpassed her, and they no longer needed her, she was no longer a good wife, and she was not a good mother now.
"Ricky, I'm sorry!" Caroline uttered this sentence involuntarily.
The soft touch on his hand disappeared, and only Ricky could be seen with a sarcastic smile.
"It turns out that holding my mother's hand is such a feeling, when I was a child, I always saw others happily holding my mother's hand, I was thinking when my mother could hold my hand, I asked my father, my father would only touch my head soothingly, and then tell me that my mother is a hero, she left us in order to protect the artifact, we should be proud!"
The smile on Ricky's face stopped at this, she glanced at her mother, who was solemn, and continued:
"Later, when I grew up, I no longer had extravagant expectations, and when my sister was away, I often used my right hand to hold my right hand on my left and right, just like my mother held me."
Looking at her clasped hands, Ruiqi smiled sadly: "Now that I think about it, it's different, my mother's hand is much warmer than mine, but after all, it still can't warm my heart." ”
"Ricky, I" Looking at her daughter in such a depressed mood, Caroline tried to explain something, but she couldn't speak, so she had to sit there in a daze.
"I'm fine!" After wiping the tears on his face, Ruiqi bowed to the Naga people around him and said: "I'm sorry everyone, I stole the artifact, the Hydra Emperor told me that as long as I stole the artifact out of the artifact, my mother will return to me, I think I'm too simple, I don't know that my mother will be unconscious, I'm sorry!" ”
Ricky's words were very sincere, and Carefree was also moved by the interaction between the mother and daughter just now, thinking of her mother who she hadn't seen for a long time, and her heart was also a little bitter.
"Did Xudra instigate you?" Elena asked, somewhat incredulous.
Ricky didn't speak, just nodded at her.
For a moment, I remembered the noisy discussions, and Xudra's actions of breaking the shield had already made everyone regard him as an enemy, and if it weren't for Elder Rena's sudden rebellion, maybe the two sides would have started a war now.
Elena didn't speak, and walked out of the hall after a slight startle.
Outside the protective shield, Xu Dra's original form was coiled on a rock, and after resting, his injuries were more than half healed.
At this time, when he saw Elena come out, he hurriedly turned into a human form and stood there waiting.
Looking at Xudra, who was delighted, Elena's face became heavier and heavier.
"You instigated Ricky to steal the artifact?" Without greetings, Elena confronted the subject.
originally thought that Elena came out to care about her injury, but she didn't expect her to question herself, the smile on Xudra's face condensed, hiding her loss, and spoke; "Yes, I told her that if she helped me get the artifact, her mother would return to her."
"For what? Why are you doing this? Do you know how important the Trident of the Sea God is to our Naga tribe, that is the mission given to us by the Goddess! Elena snapped.
Shaking his head, Xudra's smile became even more bitter, he looked at Elena and said, "Then do you know how important you are to me, you have left me for so many years for that woman, and now you actually question me for the things that that woman left behind?" ”
"Shut up! You are not allowed to slander the goddess of life! Listening to Xudra's words, Elena became more and more depressed.
"You will always be like this, so high, there will always be only one goddess in your heart, so why did you still provoke me in the first place, why did you give me hope!" Ignoring Elena's angry shouts, Xudra's desolate voice rang out.
Looking at Xudra, who was a little emotional, Elena felt a sense of guilt in her heart.
While they were arguing about the matter, there was a loud "boom" in the distance, followed by a cacophony of screams and yelling.
Such a voice naturally could not escape the vigilance of Elena and Xudra, and the two looked at each other in surprise, and then ran outside together.
At this time, the Naga tribe's territory was already in chaos.
In the aftermath of the tsunami, the central square, strewn with gravel and logs, is black and sinister.
Seeing such a scene, the Naga retreated in fright, and several brave Naga warriors wanted to go up to find out, but they were entangled in the black mist, and the strong body began to dry up as if it was dehydrated, and the vitality was constantly absorbed, and after a few breaths, it turned into a dry corpse and fell to the ground.
Such a sight undoubtedly caused a panic, and the Naga fled in all directions, fearing that they would be entangled in these strange black fogs.
By the time Elena and Xudra arrived in the central square, Medusa, Leo, Sanssouci and the rest of the group had already arrived.
A group of people looked at the raging black fog, frowning and helpless, but fortunately, the black fog did not spread quickly, and there was no fatal threat for a while.
These strange and evil magic were undoubtedly dark magic, and as the only person present who could control the light magic, everyone focused their attention on the girl who brought them countless hopes.
Looking at everyone's expectant gaze, Carefree cheered up his tired spirit, condensed the divine light power, and a few seconds later, a pure white magic mallet erupted from the tip of Carefree's staff, and then quickly crashed into the black mist.
Everywhere it went, the black mist began to shrink and retreat like the tentacles of an octopus in danger. And although this light magic is very effective in restraining the black mist, it is only a low-level magic, and after the magic mallet can not travel, it will slowly become dim and disappear into the black mist.
The Black Mist, who had lost her threat, began to abuse again, which made the hearts of everyone present tighten, although the carefree magic could somewhat stop this terrible magic, but it had already taken too much of her energy to treat Leo, Medusa, and Xudra before. If you continue to overdraw your spiritual power to purify these black fogs, I'm afraid you won't last long.
Just when everyone watched the black mist continue to wreak havoc on the Naga tribe and were overwhelmed, a tooth-wrenching laughter came from the black mist...
