Chapter 194: A Thousand Years of Loneliness

"Are you saying that the girl of the Dark Elf Clan is not good?" Ling Xi asked.

Black Feather felt a strong coercion hit his head.

"Ah, good, good!" he slammed Ling Xi's wine glass with his wine glass, "Boss Ling, let's drink, drink!"

"Huh?" Ling Xiao turned her head in tears, she was drunk just now, she didn't hear their words clearly, and she looked dazed at this time.

The night was darker, and the customers in the store were empty.

"You go get busy, I'll talk to a few friends. Ling Xi said to the bartender.

"Okay, Lord Dark Elf King, you can sit at will, and call me if you need to. ”

The bartender went to clean the table, and a few people chatted more casually.

Hei Yu held his chin in one hand, leaned sideways lazily, and asked Ling Xi.

"I always feel, boss, that you don't care about anything. By the way, are you really 3,000 years old?"

In normal times, Black Feather wouldn't dare to ask such a private question. But maybe today's atmosphere made him feel a little closer to Ling Xi.

Ling Xi also drank a lot of wine today, so he didn't mind. Although due to the good amount of alcohol, there is no drunkenness on the face.

"yes. He replied.

"Three thousand years old? unimaginable...... What was that like?"

Not only was Hei Yu curious, but Ling Xiao also turned his head sideways, holding his cheeks with great interest, and came over to listen to him tell the story.

"Not a good experience. ”

"Why?"

Ling Xi smiled faintly, "The life span is too long, the people you care about, the things you care about, are all gone." What kind of experience is it, you say?"

Hei Yu had never thought of this, and when he heard him say this, he suddenly felt empty in his heart.

Only now did he understand that the ice-like coldness on Ling Xi's face was precisely because of the loneliness that had been precipitated for thousands of years.

"However, now that you have the Dark Elf Village, your clansmen and friends are together, you have a goal, and you have something you want to protect, you shouldn't be so lonely, right?"

"There is nothing worth pursuing. While you are pursuing, the people around you have already changed one after another, things are not people, and everything is no longer what it used to be......"

He took a sip of wine and remembered the past:

"Let's take the Dark Elf Village that was established in the West Sea Forest back then. In the beginning, I built every grass, tree, brick and tile in the village with them. At that time, there were only a dozen of us in the village, and every evening, I would prepare good food and wine and call everyone into the house to eat together. After that, the dinner party became more and more deserted, until finally, when someone was made, they would not come again......"

Ling Xiao was stunned with tears and asked puzzledly, "Why? Why didn't they come?"

Black Feather touched her head, "You stupid, have you ever seen someone who runs to the king's house for dinner every day?"

"What's the matter, if you have food, you can call me, I will definitely go!" Ling Xiao said with tears in his eyes.

Later, the village became bigger and more people, and they were each busy with their own things: firewood, rice, oil, salt, marriage, and children...... Slowly, I forget you. ”

Ling Xi narrated:

"The new residents, who will replace the old, will forget what you have done for the village, and they will not come to your residence again. They call you king, respect you, and keep awe and distance. When you walk down the street, they bow respectfully and salute, but you can no longer see through their minds. The throne, the longer you sit, the more lonely you become. ”

He stared at the wine glass in front of him, "The new Dark Elf Village is nothing but a new cycle. Following or betraying, intimacy or estrangement, acquaintance or forgetting...... It's just a matter of doing it all over again. Nowadays, I have seen it very lightly. ”

Black Feather was silent. "However, there are always people who will make you unforgettable, such as ...... Light rain?"

"Light rain is an exception. ”

He said decisively. When it comes to Xiaoyu, Ling Xi always has a special feeling. He suddenly said frankly:

"Actually, the statement that the Dark Elf King was given by God is a rumor in itself. ”

"Huh, rumors?" Ling Xiao was stunned with tears.

The legend of the Dark Elf King has always been a belief in the hearts of all clansmen.

In the cognition of every dark elf, there is a concept that is deeply ingrained:

Every few thousand years, a Dark Elf King appears on the continent. This king, gifted from heaven, has pale skin, great strength and a lifespan of more than a thousand years. Moreover, it is an indisputable fact that every member of the clan can feel a clear and strong "royal spirit" from him.

She absolutely did not believe that this statement was false. "How can it be a rumor?!"

Ling Xi smiled bitterly:

"Actually, only I know. I wasn't born to be the King of the Dark Elves. ”

He explains:

"Every few thousand years, a 'mutant' is born, which is an atavistic phenomenon determined by the bloodline of the dark elves. It's just that due to the scarcity of the number of 'mutants', it is rare to encounter in a thousand years. ”

Ling Xiao's eyes widened with tears:

"Then, how can we explain the 'royal spirit' thing? We really feel the 'royal spirit'!"

She remembered that when she first saw Ling Xi, she was sure that he was her king. This belief will never change.

"The rumors of the so-called 'royal spirit' are only because the 'mutants' have a powerful power that naturally surpasses others. And the dark elf clan itself is very sensitive to the perception of power, so they amplify this perception and think that it is 'royal qi'. ”

Ling Xiao was speechless with tears. But no matter what, Ling Xi was the Dark Elf King she had identified in her heart, whether he was chosen by God or not, she had no regrets about following him.

"But, no matter what, you are the king of our hearts!" she said excitedly.

Even if he confessed that the "legend of the Dark Elf King" was a rumor, it would not alleviate his status in the hearts of the Dark Elves in the slightest. Everything he has done has been imprinted in the hearts of his clansmen, and he deserves it.

Ling Xi continued:

"When they met me, I had already cultivated for hundreds of years, so the 'royal qi' they perceived was very strong. But when he met Xiaoyu, because Xiaoyu's strength was still very weak, people didn't think he had a 'royal spirit'. ”

"Is Xiaoyu also a mutant?"

Ling Xi shook his head, "He's not the same as me. He was mutated by the aura of darkness. However, it is also a physique that is rare in a thousand years. The reason why I like Xiaoyu is also because he is so similar to me. He also has a thousand-year lifespan, and we can all live for a long, long time......"

Hei Yu could hear from his tone that Ling Xi was so dependent on Xiaoyu. For him, this long-term companionship is the most important thing.

Ling Xi sighed:

"At that time, I was thinking, if nothing happens, Xiaoyu should be able to replace me and be the next Dark Elf King......"
