"Lord Starrail, all the circles around Azeroth have been successfully activated, and the city walls have basically been built."

While checking the list of existing clansmen, an elf walked in the door and whispered to the star track.

"Okay, I'll go over and see it right away." Putting down the scroll in his hand, Star Rail rubbed his forehead tiredly.

When the elf heard this, he didn't go out immediately, and when he saw Star Rail put down his hand and looked at it suspiciously, he finally hesitated and whispered again: "Please...... Please cheer up Her Highness Jade, we ...... It is no longer possible to experience any loss. ”

After saying that, the elf's eyes were already red.

Slightly stunned, Star Rail reluctantly moved the corners of his mouth, wanting to say a few words to comfort the elf, but after all, he didn't even make a sound, and finally only nodded lightly to the elf, and his eyes were filled with dark obscurity for a while, and a trace of bitterness and pain poured out between his eyebrows.

It has been a whole month since that terrible disaster.

Until now, all the elves who were lucky enough to survive still could not extricate themselves from that abyssal pain, but the matter of rebuilding the elven race has become an urgent priority in the face of the complete loss of protection barrier of Azeroth.

So, no matter how much pain there is, the elves have to force themselves to cheer themselves up and protect their traumatized home.

With a shimmer of resolute light in his eyes, Star Rail took a deep breath of air full of moisture, and walked towards the rain curtain outside the door with heavy steps.

I don't know if he is crying in this pouring rain.

His eyes involuntarily looked at the huge crystal hanging in the western sky of Azeroth, and the gray rain curtain blocked his vision, but Star Trail knew that the crimson figure must still be there like many days before, not leaving an inch.

A month ago-

After Swallowing Cloud fell, when he noticed that Jade had been staring blankly in the direction of the original Tree of Life, Star Rail knew that something was wrong.

Sure enough, before he could think about what to say to Jadeite, the terrifying momentum that permeated Jade's body dissipated in an instant, and the whole person fell straight from the sky like a kite with a broken string.

Seeing that Jade's strength had skyrocketed before, and the coercion it exuded was almost at the same time as that of the king, Xing Rail knew that he must have used some method against the sky to do this.

It's just that this method often has extremely strong side effects, so when Jade and Swallowing Cloud confronted each other, Star Rail's entire heart was raised.

And after Jade finally did it, he was even more worried about the other party, worried that Jade would pay too much price because of this.

Later, all the worries of Star Rail became a reality.

After knowing each other for decades, Star Rail has never seen Emerald look so wolf-like.

The golden red blood continued to overflow from his mouth, making half of his body seem to be soaked in blood, and he almost lost focus in his eyes, but he still tugged on Star Track's chest tightly, and asked Star Track to take him to Teacher Anse.

Stubborn, fearful, and pale as paper, the heart of Star Rail seemed to be held in his hands.

"Okay, okay, I'll take you to the king...... I'll take you to him. Wiping away the tears that kept slipping from the corners of Jade's eyes, the star track collapsed with strength, and even the jade, whose blood vessels were about to burst, flew towards the location of the Elf King.

Later, every time he recalled the scene at that time, Star Rail couldn't help but think that in this world, there is no one like Jade, who can let himself hate to bear all the misfortunes and pains on his behalf.

That face that was always smiling should not have been filled with tears and blood, and it was so desperate that it seemed like it was going to die in the next moment.

At that time, Jade, who obviously had no strength in his body, suddenly rushed into his arms as if he was crazy when he saw the figure of Wang who was wrapped in layers of crystals.

His speed was too fast, and Star Rail simply didn't have time to stop it.

It wasn't until Emerald was burned by the sudden flames on the crystal that Star Trail chased after him, locking the guy who seemed to have no pain at all and was still struggling to pounce upwards in his arms with all his might.

Because of their long lifespans, most of the elves were originally indifferent, and rarely had too strong emotional fluctuations. But when he saw the jade who had no image and cried uncontrollably, as if he was going to shed all the tears of this life, Star Rail vaguely realized that probably the elf was not born with indifferent emotions, but because he had never moved the elf to such a pain, and it had come to this race that had been favored by God.

The huge golden crystal that wrapped the king, what it was, and the star track didn't have any clue.

But from the flames that would quickly ignite no matter who touched the crystal, the star track probably guessed that the crystal should be more protective and protective for the king.

There are elves crying.

High Priest Bai and all the elders have almost all fallen, and now that all the high-level elves have been traveling one after another over the years, Star Track is almost the only remaining high-level elves in Azeroth.

Now that Emerald is almost completely devastated, both physically and mentally, as the only elf capable of helping the existing clansmen, Star Rail must stand up and temporarily shoulder the burden of pacifying and healing all the clansmen.

Before that, though, he had something to say to Jade.

"I wasn't in Azeroth a few days ago because of some things, but when I noticed something was wrong here and hurried back, the king had become what he was now, and White and Winster had exhausted their last strength and completely dissipated before my eyes."

"I don't know anything about why the king is like this, why Swallow Cloud is resurrected, and why Azeroth was nearly destroyed overnight."

"After this catastrophe, the elves will probably never go back to the past."

"Jade, I know...... I know you're sad and don't even know how to describe it, but I hope you'll ...... As much as possible, cheer up. ”

"Whether it's the king or Azeroth, whether it's our last remnant of our people or my ......"

"We all need you."

"So, promise me okay, don't let yourself despair for too long."

"You don't want the king to wake up and see a home like this, do you?"

Kneeling beside Jade, Star Rail finally forgot what he had said.

In the end, he hugged the jade in his arms and hugged him hard, and the star track placed him in the center of the huge flower that had just been urged, so that the petals were next to the edge of the golden crystal, so that the jade could be closest to the king and take a good look at the king who had not been seen for many years.

Wiping away the cold tears from his face, Startrack finally turned away and flew towards the devastated Azeroth.

For a long time, it seemed as if he was trapped in bottomless darkness.

I can't hear sounds, I can't see light, I can't feel hot and cold, I can't feel pain.

Won't get tired, won't get tired.

His eyes were always open, but he didn't feel sleepy.

Time seems to stand still, frozen in a moment.

The brain no longer has to think about anything, no longer needs to be aimlessly busy, rushing, no longer pushing itself, and no longer sentimental about something.

The sun rises and the moon sets, and the stars move.

He sat quietly closest to the Elven King, but he could no longer see the figure he had been thinking about.

It's like being stuck in a corridor of time with no end.

His heart was calm, and he almost wanted to sit in such ignorance until the end of the world.

But a faint, hazy light was gradually perceived in front of him.

Tiny, bright and off, transparent light.

It was a pair of familiar wings that stayed in a long memory.

"Emerald."

The tip of his nose warmed, and his whole body gradually seemed to be slowly thawing from the ice, and his out-of-focus eyes finally found a trace of clarity.

He looked at the small figure flying lightly in front of him, and his voice was so hoarse that he could barely hear it, "...... Al. ”

The translucent fairy boy raised the corners of his lips slightly, nodded slightly, and then came to Fei Yaran again, hugged his cheek and rubbed it, "It's been many years, and I finally saw you again." ”

Fei Yaran moved her lips, but she didn't make a sound.

Al didn't seem to care about these at all, and a bright smile bloomed on his face, "Before you went to travel, you asked me to accompany the Elf King master on your behalf. ”

"Al has always taken your words to heart all these years, and he is by his master's side every day."

"Sometimes I remember the things we did in private, and I tell them to my master."

"And then for a long time after that, the host will be in a good mood......"

"So, Al didn't lose his word."

"I have always done what I promised you......

Rubbing his cheek against Fei Yaran's face, the tiny golden palm tree fairy babbling about the past few years.

"Jadeite, actually, I really like the Ark gemstone necklace you gave me."

"Every time I see it, I think of the vast golden palm forests in my hometown......"

"Really, I love ......"

"I also really, really like you and the Elf King Master,"

"Really...... There is an effort to wait until you come back. ”

"Now,"

"I can finally say goodbye to you in person......"

"My little prince."

"Later...... I can no longer accompany you and the Elven King master. ”

"Al is really really, I can't bear to ...... you"

Crystal teardrops fluttered down their cheeks, slid down each other's faces, and gradually dissipated into the air.

Fei Yaran whimpered and reached out to touch Al, but his fingers passed through Al's translucent body.

The tiny figure fell apart and turned into countless fragments of starlight.

Fei Yaran flailed and waved his hands wildly in the starlight, trying to grasp something.

After exhaustion, he spread out his palm, and there was only a small necklace embellished with azure blue gemstones, lying quietly in it.

"Ah......h

"Ahh!!!h

"Don't go!"

"None of you are allowed to leave!!"

"It's all back!!!"

"Al!! White!! Garcia!! Elder Winster!! ”

"Mr. Anse!!!"

"Didn't you say you would wait for me to come back?!"

"I'm not leaving, I'm not leaving!!"

"Are you all coming back?!!!?"

"You ......"

"You liars......"

Fei Yaran never knew that she would have so many tears.

In the past, he always thought that tears were the expression of the weak, a loophole in the heart, and only the cowardly would shed tears.

But when everything happened, he could do nothing but watch his dearest people disappear one after another, and apart from hysterical breakdowns and weeping, he had no idea what else could make his heart, which was about to crumble into countless pieces, from so painful that it was on the verge of death.

He really doesn't understand.

Obviously, everyone is so strong, and Mr. Anse is so omnipotent.

Why is it the way it is?

Until his eyes blurred and he couldn't shed a single tear, Fei Yaran still couldn't figure it out.

On the scorched earth, the surviving elves seemed to be infected by the sadness coming from the wind, and they wept when they looked at the former home, the ideal paradise, and the cradle of life that were completely contaminated by blood and corpses.

This catastrophe almost plunged the elves into eternal night.

In the darkness, an elf wiped away the tears on his face and lit up the pitcher plant that grew out of his palm.

The faint light was almost swallowed up by the night, and the light of the pitcher plant was bright and extinguished in the wind.

Standing in the center of the surviving elves, Star Rail looked up at the twinkling starry sky in the sky, and for the first time in his heart felt at a loss about the world.

The ground under his feet has been completely contaminated by the blood of the demons, and as a wood fire attribute elf, he has nothing to do about it.

The surviving elves, except for the high-level elves who have not yet been rushed back, are mostly not strong in magic, and even if the high-level elves rush back, those who can really use light magic to purify the entire Azeroth will not exist at all.

Exactly, except for the king, Star Rail doesn't think that any elf can do it.

Only, even so, they couldn't have given up Azeroth-

This is their home.

Therefore, Star Rail really doesn't know where the elves should go in the future.

Just when he was almost in despair, countless silver-green stars gradually drifted out of the traumatized land.

All the elves stared blankly at the scene in front of them, not understanding what those firefly-like starlight were.

Starlight wandered to the far west, hovering over huge flowers in mid-air, lingering at Fei Yaran's side.

Fei Yaran looked at these starlights that had briefly appeared in his field of vision when he fought against Swallowing Clouds, and there was no longer a tear in his dry eyes.

He quietly looked at Mr. Anse, who seemed to be asleep in the crystal, and after a while, he finally opened his lips and called, "System." ”

The only thing that answered him was the wind.

A sneer appeared at the corner of his lips, and Fei Yaran continued:

"If you don't show up again, I'll kill the humans."

There was still no response.

"I'll count to three, if you play dead again, I'll go to Dillon immediately and kill all the humans who know the name 'Emerald', and do what I say."

"One."

"Two."

"Three."

"Hum—"

The gray-green mission panel finally appeared in front of Fei Yaran at the last moment.

The coldness in his eyes finally couldn't be hidden anymore, Fei Yaran looked at the task panel expressionlessly, and saw that the system, which had never been cold and mechanical, had never communicated with him except for issuing tasks, and for the first time, he had been shown other words other than tasks.
