The shrine maiden stood up, turned her head, and looked out the window.
The black ash fell like snow, piling up layer after layer of weight on the ground. If it weren't for the fact that all the black and gray were blue, I am afraid that it would have been mistaken for white snow.
Looking at the black ash that seemed to be more than just now, the shrine maiden was thoughtful.
If it weren't for the conversation with Leo just now, even if she stared at this black ash for ten years and a hundred years, she probably wouldn't have seen any clues. But after the confirmation of the other party, the shrine maiden already knew that the power that she could not perceive all the time as soon as she came was the root of this world, the "spirit" that built all things. And the elves, with these black and gray breaths...... There is a faint similarity.
The only thing that can be said to be the difference is that the black ash is full of dead silence, while the elves are more alive.
"[Black Ash] ......"
She muttered to herself, the end a little long.
This also makes the time that has elapsed after her words blurted out seem particularly long.
"Those [black ashes] are the remains of elves." A voice suddenly sounded in the shrine maiden's ears, inserting her thoughts and making her stunned.
Even if she didn't release her spiritual sense, she knew that it was Leo who walked behind her. Besides, there are only two people in this room, even if it is an ordinary person, he can make the same reasoning.
Therefore, the girl's hesitation was only for a moment. Then she nodded slightly and said, "Well, continue." β
"It is said that it was the remains of the elves that were released after the war between the gods and the creatures, the ashes of destruction, which symbolized destruction, and the elven cloisters, which symbolized life. That is, the [Spirit]. β
Maybe he was talking about something that happened a long, long time ago, and Leo's voice was tinged with a little vicissitudes. If the shrine maiden released her spiritual sense, she could see that his already weathered face was even older at this time.
He continued: "Originally, we, as human beings, could not see the light of the elves. β
The voice is slightly bitter.
The shrine maiden didn't say a word, just put her hands in her hands and stared out the window.
The remains of the elves were still falling, blocking out the sun. The only thing that can illuminate the way forward is the red light produced by unknown principles.
Bloody light.
This planet seems to be bleeding and screaming.
Listening to the silent lamentation, the witch's expression froze slightly. The already cold face also became more and more cold at this time.
Leo didn't see the shrine maiden's expression. He was still telling the shrine maiden what he knew: "We humans couldn't have seen the elves. The same is true of the remains of the elves, of course. However, the turquoise light on these [spirit remains] is the last light emitted by the destroyed elves before they die. β
He didn't explain why the last rays of light could be seen. Perhaps, he didn't know.
But somehow, the shrine maiden somewhat understood.
Perhaps, it is the light condensed by their unwillingness and resentment.
They want all living beings to see these grievances, to feel their sorrows. Black and ash symbolize death, but how can they not be innocent?
"You said before you died."
The witch suddenly spoke, her voice as cold as ice: "Elf, it's a living being. β
It sounds like it's a lot of affirmation, as if she's telling the truth, but in reality, the shrine maiden is asking questions.
- No, it's not right to say it's a question.
To be able to vent their grievances so humanely, how can these elves be just dead things. The shrine maiden was sure that they were at least alive once.
And knowingly asking is often not only a sign of certainty, but also a symbol of surprise and disbelief.
Was the shrine maiden surprised? Leo didn't hear this emotion at all.
But he didn't waste too much time savoring the meaning of the shrine maiden question. He quickly replied, "That's right." The elves are the condensation of the elven cloister. It is not accurate to say that they are living beings, they are 'living beings'. β
Is life the same as life?
Obviously, the answer is no.
Beings are simply the concepts that are contained within life. But if that's all, why would Leo emphasize it?
"Creatures, lives."
The shrine maiden spat out two words. Her language was as short as ever, and the time it took to blurt out each word was perfect, as if it had been measured by a machine, and even a millisecond was exactly equal.
In fact, except for the original black and gray characters that took more time, each sentence of the shrine maiden took exactly the same amount of time.
It seems to represent the supreme justice of heaven, and even the time it takes to say a sentence is also the supreme justice.
While asking, her gaze remained focused on a certain point outside the window. It's like thereβthere's something interesting.
Or rather, a phenomenon.
At the same time, Leo also began his own commentary.
"Creature and life are two completely different concepts.
"The so-called creature is a creature that exists at the same time as the soul and the body, but is distinct. For example, we humans are a kind of living beings.
"And the so-called life is the symbiosis between the soul and matter, and the strength of the soul represents the strength of the body, and the will alone can affect reality. The Celestial Wing Species, the Dragon Spirit Species, the Giant Species, the Fantasy Species, the Elven Species, and even the legends, even the gods, are also life.
"Life is often more powerful than living beings. In addition to the gods and spirits, the most powerful beings in life are the mutants of the fantasy species-"
Speaking of which, perhaps because he had been talking for too long and was a little thirsty, Leo swallowed softly and foamed.
Then, the voice came out, as if it was a little dignified, but at the same time a little dry.
"The combat power, even the authority is the same as that of the gods - the 'Demon King'."
There seemed to be a thunderclap in the sky, and a loud noise suddenly sounded in the sky.
Leo's expression was slightly grim. In this world, there has long been no thunder and lightning. The only ones who can make such a noise are the gods and their creatures.
The witch's eyes were still fixed on the black ash in the distance, as if they were stuck and couldn't move away.
The sound died down, but the aftermath continued.
Just like the word "Demon King" that always echoes in the ears of the shrine maiden.
After a long time, when the world was truly quiet again, the shrine maiden suddenly turned around, her head slightly raised, and her gaze went straight into Leo's eyes.
Paired with the delicate and beautiful petite appearance of the shrine maiden, this should have been a very cute move. But when he saw her cold pupils, Leo couldn't give birth to the idea of cuteness at all.
He subconsciously shivered, like falling into an ice cave.
After a few moments, the shrine maiden spoke, her voice strangely hoarse.
"You say, Demon King?"
There was a real hint of doubt in her words.
ps: It's a little sentimental to suddenly feel a little sad today, it's unprecedented. While this feeling has not been lost, I quickly coded a chapter. By the way, there is no exclamation mark in the whole chapter of this chapter, ah 233!
