266 Elegy sung softly
Thea's face also changed. After a few battles in the Plaguelands, she already knew what that voice meant.
It is the disturbed awakened dead who have come back to life - and become ghouls who are left with only instinct to seek out and attack living creatures, and who will continue to wander until they are struck down again.
In this way, Icarus should be the killer weapon of the Death Knights - the army of the dead.
Thea looked around at the land in front of her, where the tranquility had been shattered, withered arms struggling to reach out from the ground, and then ragged bodies wrapped around a skeleton. She suddenly felt that Icarus had done something very cruel.
This is Lindsay's former home. Therefore, the people who can be buried under this land nearby should be people who Lindsay knows.
Thinking of this, Thea tightened her grip on her staff, determined to try to defeat the resurrected ghouls in front of her who were swinging towards them. It would be too cruel to let Lindsey kill someone she knew with her own hands. However, when Thea's first secret word fell on the ghoul who rushed to the front. She heard the sound of the bowstring vibrating behind her.
Three arrows glowing red with magic shot past her side, swooping straight into the horde of ghouls. The red light on the arrow flashed away, and there was a loud "boom". A small mushroom cloud rose from the dense gathering of ghouls. Most of the newly resurrected ghouls were killed by this blow.
"Lindsay!" Thea was a little taken aback, and subconsciously turned her head to Lindsay
Lindsay's face was as tight as the bow in her hand. The red glow in her eyes burned like flames in the moonlight, but she only pursed her lips as the ghouls slowly attacked them despite the attack. The off-string arrows continued to nail down the moving ghouls one by one.
The bowstring vibrated continuously, and the sound it made sounded to Thea like the mournful sound that Lindsay's heart could not appeal.
Linsay's facial expressions made Thea feel more distressed than crying and sad. She turned her head away. Lindsay, who no longer went, just silently raised the staff in her hand and waved it lightly. The golden staff was shrouded in darkness for a moment.
Sia took a deep breath and aimed the tip of her staff at the horde of ghouls.
"Burning spirit!"
The black shadow energy roared out of the staff, and the momentum was as majestic as a black python that slammed straight into the ghoul who was walking in the front. The huge energy rushed the ghoul, but the black light did not stop, after being blocked by the ghoul's fragile body. It spread out in all directions at a rapid pace. Dark energy ripples. It's as gentle as a wave of water, but the energy it contains is so great that only the ghouls in it know how powerful it is. However, they will soon not need to understand. Because it's only a few breaths. The ghouls' bodies entangled in black energy exploded one after another because they couldn't withstand the huge energy, and their bodies shattered and completely returned to the earth again.
It wasn't until there was a single more moving ghoul that Shia withdrew her staff. Then she heard a soft sigh from Lindsay. She didn't have time to observe Lindsay's expression before Lindsay's figure had already passed her. Walked towards the pile of bones of those ghouls.
Thea hesitated, but kept up with Lindsay. Walked over together.
Lindsey was half-hunched over in focus, her eyes slowly discerning from the half-rotting faces of the ghouls who had rested again. Thea heard her whisper, intermittently chanting names. Those should have been her former friends and neighbors whom she recognized.
They were supposed to have died in the invasion of the Scourge war, but now they were forced to be awakened again and face their second death.
"The priest's sacred fire should give them a complete rest......," said Lindsay, who looked up and turned to Thea. Her tone was calm. It seems to have been completely unaffected at all. But her hoarse, almost voiceless voice revealed the grief she had tried so hard to hide.
"Hmm." Thea waved her staff without hesitation. At this time, the shadow energy had been fully withdrawn by her, and the staff had regained its golden appearance, and the huge red gem on the head of the staff shone even brighter in the light of the bright moonlight.
Thea recited the Light incantation softly and reverently. A bright, scorching white flame floated gently from the top of the staff onto the corpse on the ground. The flames danced. Fluttering, devouring the corpses on the ground in a flying manner.
Lindsey stood motionless in front of the fire, staring at the flames that burned incessantly. The posture is straight, like a longbow that has been straightened.
Thea felt that Lindsey was far stronger than she had imagined. If she puts herself in Lindsay's shoes, she feels that she will not be able to be as strong and calm and indifferent as Lindsay.
But why?
Xia couldn't help but plug. There was no expression on her firelit face, like the statues carved out of marble of the elves—beautiful but cold and unforgiving.
The gods sent the ghosts, and Xia opened his mouth and said: "Linsay, if you are sad, it is better not to hold back......"
Thea's words made Lindsey turn her head. She seemed to try to pull the corners of her mouth into a smile, but eventually gave up.
"We don't have time to waste on grief and remembrance. All we have to do is revenge! Lindsay said with a condensed expression, and she paused, as if to reiterate, as if to emphasize: "We will take revenge!" ”
With that, she turned her head and continued the fire, the blazing divine fire reflected in Lindsay's red eyes.
"I will write down everything today, and I will return it to him a thousand times in the future!" Lindsay's posterior molars made a gentle grinding sound. Although his tone was calm, the hatred in Lindsay's words could not be concealed deeply. But Thea was relieved. She was worried that Lindsey would suppress all her grief too much. Now Lindsey is not really as calm and senseless as she appears, but she habitually hides her weak side.
"Huh?" Thea suddenly noticed that there seemed to be something in the grass. Because it was reflected by the firelight, it emitted a trace of reflection. Curious, she walked over, brushed aside the grass, and picked it up.
"What is this? Lindsay. Thea shook the object in her hand at Lindsey with some confusion.
Lindsey didn't notice it at first, just a faint glance. But when her gaze fell on the dangling object in Thea's hand, she couldn't take her eyes off it anymore.
"It's ......," her calm voice trembled for the first time. She hurried up and said earnestly, "Give it to me."
"Hmm!" Siase's unusual appearance had a gut feeling that what she had in her hand seemed to be very important to Lindsay. However, Lindsay's movements were very urgent, and almost snatched it from Thea's hand, and rubbed it in his hand repeatedly.
It was a very beautiful necklace. The elven craftsmen drew a delicate pattern in gold, embellished with tiny diamonds, and the central pendant was a sapphire the size of a pigeon's egg. Even after the war, the necklace still glows brightly when gently rubbed by Lindse's hand.
"I thought I wouldn't see it again......" Lindsey clenched the necklace in her hand, as if she were clutching the good old days of her life. Sister ......"
She flipped the sapphire pendant over, her fingers gently rubbing the small words carved into the elven hand on it—"For Sylvanas, love you forever." Aurelia. ”
"Let's go back." As the light faded out, Lindsay hung the necklace around her neck and beckoned to Thea.
"Okay."
The two of them walked in the land of ghosts without people, just as they came.
When she walked out of the village, Lindsey couldn't help but look back at her. Then he walked forward resolutely.
There was silence all around, and just when Sia didn't know if she wanted to find something to say, Lindsay suddenly opened her mouth and sang softly.

In the middle of the night, when there is not even the sound of insects, Lindsay's beautiful tune is particularly abrupt. It's just that no matter how elegant and beautiful the Salas language is, it can't hide the bleakness and sadness in it. Lindsey kept humming over and over again, and Thea gradually understood her lyrics.
"In the name of the light, in the name of the sun
Sindore
The enemy is about to break through the defenses
Sindore
In the name of light
Sindore fell
They're about to break through the defenses
Sindore
In the name of daylight
Sindore fell
They're about to break through the defenses
Sindore
In the name of daylight
The rays of the sun......"
The lyrics are really bleak. With Linse's soft, weeping voice, Thea almost shuddered. But think of the scars of death in the Wraithlands that have never healed. Thea could still understand why Lindsey would suddenly sing such a song.
If only this allowed Lindsey to vent her sadness a little, it would be fine.
So when Lindsey stopped singing, Thea was still a little confused.
"What's wrong? Lindsay. (To be continued)
