March 22, 8 a.m

"Get out of the way!" Bands of heavily armed soldiers marched through the streets: "His Royal Highness the Holy King has ordered us to hunt down the fugitives!" Get out of the way! ”

"Obviously, the combined forces are already approaching the royal capital, but they are still staying in the royal capital and not leaving, as soldiers, it is not enough to fight honestly, why should we disturb our daily life" A small vendor looked at the countless handicrafts that had been knocked to the ground and muttered, "Of course I should go to the battlefield immediately!" ”

"War is not fun at all," said the girl in a light veil after looking at the doll in her hand, "The earth doesn't want to be stained with blood."

"But there's no way, it's all for our safety," the vendor sighed and said, "The last change of dynasty has cost me a lot of money, and I guess I'm going to roll up my bunks and run for my life this time."

"Don't worry, because the earth tells me the answer," the girl chuckled and put the doll back in the palm of his hand, "No innocent person's blood will be stained with mud and sand, and the smoke of gunpowder will cover the sky, but the fire of war will not burn the earth to the ground."

"This young lady, are you a priest?" He thanked him and put the dolls back one by one

"No, I'm a priest who serves my ancestors," the girl smiled sweetly, "I just have the same philosophy as the priests."

"I am convinced that the earth is invincible, nothing more"

―――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――― the dividing line that escaped

"What the hell is that, why is the vision still blurry" Chongichi walked down the streets of Abion in small steps, the ring was more powerful than he had imagined, he felt uncomfortable just by being photographed, the feeling of exhaustion that spread from all over his body was indescribable, it was as if the deepest part of his body had been deprived of his vitality

(Obviously, I don't feel anything, but I don't know why my body just can't move freely) every time I move, my body pauses for a few seconds as if I want to resist consciousness, and if I continue like this, I can't leave Abion

"The man over there stops me!" The officer, who was searching the crowd in the middle of the street, stopped him: "Turn around for me at once, and lean against the side of the road and don't move!" We're going to search you now! ”

Chong gritted his teeth and hid the dagger between his fingers, he was ready to die

"The familiar feeling came from the boy," the girl turned her gaze to Chong, who was standing motionless in the middle of the street, "but it looks like he's threatened."

"Then let's do it first," the girl snapped her finger, and then the street continued to sound like a hole-digging "boom".

“？！！” The eyes of the two men who were approaching Chong widened as Chong stood in front of them because he had been taken away by the pit that had suddenly appeared under his feet

"What's going on?" The two of them stared at each other and said, "Where did the others go?" ”

"I don't know."

"A bunch of idiots! That man escaped with earth magic! The officer roared loudly: "Blow the horn immediately!" We've found the target! ”

Underground

"Dong" Chong landed head-down, but fortunately the street was covered with loose soil for some reason, so he was not harmed

"This is" Chong stood up and looked around, and what he saw was a blank land no less long and wide than the royal city, and the land on which no buildings had been built before seemed to be very large, and he could also see that there were plants and trees mixed in the dirt, which looked almost like it

"It looks like a second land, doesn't it?" A slightly lively female voice came from behind, "Hello, first time we met, I am Askhdasius, a native spirit who originally lived in Romania, and my interest is to open up a large-scale wasteland that no one has set foot in."

The "Earth Elf" originally planned to take time to look for her in Romania after the Combine landed on the ground, but she didn't expect her to appear directly in Abion?

"This is the land I carved out here a long time ago, look, it looks majestic, doesn't it?" The earth elf said proudly, "There are also fruit trees that I transplanted here from various countries to plant, but because the third sister didn't water them, they all died a long time ago."

"Since you've met, I've got a request"

"Before that, let me cure your illness first," the earth elf suddenly pointed to his chest, "You were irradiated by the third sister's ring"

"That ring is a water fairy's"

"Well, the Ring is called Andwari, and it contains a lot of water energy, water is a symbol of life, so the life of the person who has been illuminated by that ring will continue to be lost."

Is there such a terrifying treasure in "what"?

"But don't worry, the earth is kind, the earth is where your life lies" The earth elf chuckled and stretched out his hand, and the green glow soon flew into Chong's body, and then a trace of blue light was slowly sucked out by it

"Okay, now you're not in danger" After inhaling all the blue light into his body, the earth elf also showed a kind smile on his face, "So what do you want to tell me?" ”

"The Contract"

"You want to break off the pact you made with us, right? Then you're going to swear to me," the earth elf covered her mouth and chuckled, "dare you swear to me?" I don't know what is as important as my sisters, and I'll even make you make a vow to die right away, right? ”

"I see" Chong was silent for a moment and nodded, "It's not impossible, as long as you want, then I can do it"

"Stupid, this kind of oath can't be promised to others" was hit on the forehead by a small pebble, "just an oath does not need to be kept with life"

"I'm here to find our eldest sister, and she's hidden in the sky of Abion, not wanting to see us," the earth elf held out his hand to the rock wall above his head, "None of us can leave our own land for half a step, but I am different, the place where I am is my own land, and the ground under my feet will always be my homeland, so I can leave Romania and come here to find her traces"

"The eldest sister is a very poor person, she has waited longer than us" The earth elf chuckled and held out her hand to herself, "but there is no need now, the person she wanted to wait for has returned, and all we have to do is to make her have a body again"

"I promise to break off the vows he made in front of us, but in return, I need you to make a separate contract for me in his place, I hope you can help me find our eldest sister" The earth elf said word by word "It doesn't matter how long it takes, the earth is eternal, even if you die, your soul will stay in every land, I will wait, because we have waited for him for more than two thousand years"

"This is not an easy errand, eldest sister, she is the wind, and the wind will not be controlled by people" The body of the earth elf slowly disappeared, and finally turned into a woman with an expressionless face like a statue "The dust I brought from Romania is about to be scattered, I am afraid that I will soon be summoned back to the kingdom by the ancestors, so what is your answer?" ”

"No problem" Since there is no time limit, he has nothing to refuse, although it is very likely that he will not return here, but then he will sell to her after death

"Very good answer," a smile appeared on the statue's face, and the contract flew out of his arms

"Swear by the descendants of the Elven Ancestors"

"Swear by the descendants of the Inheritance"

"I am the fourth of the four sisters who rule the depths of the earth and the eternity"

"I am the second of the three princes who are in charge of mysteries and the future"

"I swear by this"

"I hereby take an oath"

"In the 10,000th year of consolidation from the Triangle, the ancient vows will be reduced to mud and sand, and in the name of the elves, they will be liberated from bondage"

"Whew~ So I don't have to worry about it every day~" The figure of the earth spirit slowly turned into mud and sand and dissipated, "Come to Rome to find me when you have the opportunity in the future, I will be happy to wake up from sleep and take you to the sacred human kingdom"

He nodded silently, but Chong knew that he would not be able to come here again

"There have been so many battles in this land, so much so that even my body is covered with scars" The earth elf suddenly said sternly, "the smell of decay in the wind, the bright red blood flowing in the water, the flames burning the houses, the loess covering the corpses, this land should have disappeared from history a long time ago, so no one hopes that he will reappear."

"After all, we are all just a group of homesick little girls, and the land he wants to defend with his blood is also our hometown, and there are secrets hidden in it that will provoke greater disputes" The figure of the earth spirit has completely disappeared, it will be hidden with this land, no one can open it again, it is utter nothingness and darkness"

"Go in search of history, and if you are interested, we will be happy to be the key to the legacy of our ancestors," the voice completely disappeared into the air

"It's a pity, but I'm not interested in the past" Chong stood in the open ground for a moment before leaving, "I'm not interested in investigating other people's pasts, because I don't even care about my own past"

"What about talking too much? After all, what you can't go back to is that you can't go back for the rest of your life" It's really poor girls, it's because they want to ask for it that they will lose, and they shouldn't miss their hometown from the beginning, because that will only make them feel more lonely

“？” There was a sudden sound of rock shattering overhead, and Chong, who sensed that something was wrong, quickly planned to flee immediately

But the movement was still slow, and a pair of rock hands tore through the rock wall and grasped it firmly, and the eyes were the countless soldiers who were waiting for the battle and Fukai, who was looking at him with a cold face

"Found you," Fukai grinned, "welcome to Abion, so let me entertain you?" ”

"Together with Valudo's portion"
