Chapter 311: Allegiance?
As the elders continued to chant, the moonstone in front of them became brighter and brighter.
It didn't take long for these moonstones to slowly soar into the air, flying above the bodies of the fifty ancient elves, forming a huge circle and beginning to spin.
The moonlight shone on the glowing stones, refracting a purer white light that splashed on the bodies of the ancient elves.
Dylan and Tal were shocked, they had never seen such a mysterious and wonderful rebirth ritual.
At this moment, the sound of horses' hooves sounded from the west direction of Darnassus, and a cavalry army of more than thirty ghosts galloped towards it.
The fluorite west of Darnassus had been cleared of it in advance, so the Ghost Cavalry had entered the city without incident.
The elves hiding in the wooden house did not dare to make too much noise, for fear of alarming this famous "ghost army".
Leonardo, who had taken the lead, heard the ancient elven spell and soon ran along the wide ramp in the direction of the observatory.
By the time the thirty or so ghost riders arrived at the top of the observatory, the rotation speed of the moonstone in the center had also reached its peak.
Soon, the middle of those moonstones was completely filled with snow-white moonlight, forming a miniature "moon", which was in a straight line with the bright moon in the sky.
And at this moment, the more than thirty ghost cavalry rushed towards the white circle of light at once.
Halfway through, they leaped forward, and their souls entered the circle of light at once.
The moment all thirty-three ghosts burrowed into the aperture, the luminous stone instantly dimmed, and then flew out towards the periphery, landing around the huge sarcophagus.
The elders all stopped chanting at this point, because the ritual was over.
Silence! Not a single person in the entire observatory made a sound.
It didn't take long for the ancient elf lying flat in the sarcophagus to finally react.
I saw one of the bodies, slowly raising its arms to support its sides, and then sat up with some difficulty.
At the same time, the armor on his body crackled, and the rust on many of the connections gradually peeled off.
The first Ancient Elf to wake up looked blankly at his body, then looked around again.
Finally, his eyes fell on Dylan.
Soon, the other thirty-two ancient elf bodies also slowly woke up.
When they woke up, they all looked at Dylan.
Dylan looked confused, wondering why they were all focused on him.
One of the tallest and most muscular ancient elves slowly walked to Dylan's side, then bowed respectfully, bowed deeply to Dylan, and said, "I am Leonardo, it was you who gave us a second life, and we will always be loyal to you!"
Everyone was stunned, and they all felt very sudden and incomprehensible about the scene that was happening in front of them.
Soon, one of the elders stood up, and he pointed at the ancient elf and scolded, "Leonardo, you traitor, you are the former commander of our cavalry of Darnassus! How can you be loyal to a human?"
Several other elders also scolded in the same voice, but the Great Elder Sage, uncharacteristically, did not say anything, but just stood aside with a blank face, watching everything.
Dylan was also a little embarrassed, and hurriedly said to Leonardo after being reborn: "You are the heroes of Darnassus, and now that you have been reborn, you should serve Darnassus again, instead of following me, a little person!"
But Leonardo waved his hand and said: "Since it is already reborn, it is another life, and the things of the previous body have no meaning." You brought back the bodies of the Old Elves, and according to the High Priest, we will one day be reborn with the help of some mysterious being. Now it looks like you're that person!"
"We have inherited some of the memories of the ancient elves, and we know what a powerful existence lies at the bottom of the lake, and that terrible existence has even killed the water god we believe in!
Hearing this, Dylan finally understood a little, it turned out that they had inherited some of the memories of the ancient elves, and they were no longer pure Darnassus cavalry.
While Dylan pondered how to reject the allegiance of the thirty-three cavalrymen, Leonardo said, "According to the prophecy of the high priest, those who awaken us will save more living beings in the future, and we will always follow them!"
After saying that, Leonardo fell to his knees and pledged his allegiance.
The other thirty-two Ancient Elves also knelt down.
The elders stomped their feet angrily, and kept scolding "traitors" in their mouths.
Dylan was a little overwhelmed for a moment, not knowing how to continue to persuade.
After Leonardo had finished his vow, he got up and walked towards the king of the elves.
Engru's face was cold, and he took a step forward and stood in front of the king of elves.
The Elven King sighed, then pulled Englu aside and confronted the former commander of Darnassus' cavalry.
Leonardo stood still in front of the Elven King, and with a blank face, he took off the "Ash Bringer" on his waist.
By this time, the Ember Bringer had turned its normal red instead of an eerie dark blue.
"This is the Excalibur that belongs to Darnassus, and now it is returned to its rightful owner. Leonardo said as he handed the Excalibur into the hands of the Elven King.
After returning Excalibur, Leonardo turned to return to Dylan's side.
At this time, the elf king couldn't help but ask, "Why?"
You must know that Leonardo had a good relationship with the Elf King back then, and the two were like brothers in private.
Leonardo stood with his back to the Elven King, still without any emotional fluctuations on his face: "After we were robbed of our bodies by that terrible force, we have traveled through Darnassus countless times, trying to seek redemption, but to no avail. Over the years, we have become ghosts, and the pain we have endured in the middle of the night is beyond your imagination. ”
After saying that, Leonardo walked away without looking back.
The king of the elves froze in place, and after a long time, he gently stroked the divine sword in his hand, sighed and whispered, "It's us who are sorry for you!"
It is also unknown if he said this to Leonardo or to the Excalibur Ash Bringer.
However, a relieved smile soon appeared on the Elven King's face.
Holding the "Ash Bringer" in his hand, he came to Leonardo again and said, "Since this Excalibur has been given to you, it is yours." Since Darnassus owes you a debt, let this Ember Bringer compensate for it. ”
