"It's been a long time since I've been there, the continent to the east is too far away...... I'd like to check it out, though. ”

Black Feather said as she looked at the place where the Dark Elf Girl had run. "You practice your magic first, I'll go find her. ”

"Lord Celestial, don't come into contact with the Dark Elves......"

The light elf girl was about to say something, but Black Feather had already walked away.

The sensitive and inferior Dark Elf girl, already frightened away by their gaze, ran along a path in the bushes, and disappeared into the depths of the woods.

The path became deeper and deeper, and Black Feather pulled out the dead branches beside him, and finally saw the girl in shabby clothes.

She was sitting on a stone platform in a pool of clear springs, her feet dipped in the cool water. On the stone wall behind her, there are many beautiful red flowers.

Hearing someone approaching, the little girl immediately withdrew her feet that had been immersed in the water, watched vigilantly, ready to run away at any moment. But he saw that it was the young god with a kind face who came over.

"Don't be afraid. ”

Black Feather had a gentle voice and a warm smile on his face.

She really didn't run away anymore, as if she was stunned, and her dark eyes looked at him without blinking.

Kuroba smiled and sat down beside her.

"Listen to them, you're a dark elf?"

“...... Well. She lowered her head shyly, her eyes dodged, and her voice was as thin as a mosquito: "That's what people outside call us." I was infected with a strange disease since I was a child, abandoned by my family, and I didn't know who my relatives were. Those of us who are sick can only live together. ”

"What's your name?"

The little girl shook her head, and her voice became quieter.

"I don't have a name. ”

"If you want to learn magic, you can come to me at this time of the day, and I will teach you. ”

"Can I learn magic too?" the little girl looked up a little excited, "but ......"

She lowered her head again with a lonely expression, "Our race, unlike the light elves, has healing magic, which can make flowers bloom, but I, the flowers I touch, will wither......"

Black Feather casually plucked a Lingxiao flower from the rock climbing behind her and put it in the palm of her hand. Sure enough, the edges of the petals began to wilt and curl up rapidly.

But Black Feather's palm was gently held under her palm, and a warm divine power passed through her palm, pulling her mana to project onto the flower.

I saw that this gradually withering flower was miraculously reborn, the petals stretched out, bloomed, and spit out the stamens, shining with a pale red luster.

"The Dark Elves can also have healing magic, but in a different way. This spell is called the Art of Rebirth, but there is a price to pay for using it. ”

The little girl looked at the flower infatuatedly.

"What kind of flower is this, so beautiful. ”

"This is Ling Xiaohua. Growing around the Tree of Life and climbing up the trunk of the Tree of Life, they are dependent on each other. If you like, Ah Ling, this will be your name in the future. ”

"Ah Ling......"

The little girl meditated, looking at the red flowers in her little hands. She lifted her clear, timid eyes and met his warm smile.

A few months later, bad news came from the East.

The Crimson Empire's endless excavation of the earth has unleashed the dark power buried deep in the heart of the earth, where the creatures have been infected by evil powers and become demons.

In order to save the inhabitants of the Eastern Lands from deep suffering, the gods left the divine realm and crossed the ocean to the Chijin Empire.

When I arrived, the land was devastated.

The sky was shrouded in clouds and wind, and the solitary god, relying on the protection of the divine power shield, passed through the desert that seemed to be flattened in an instant by some kind of violent wind and what seemed to be an explosion.

The ruins of the desert show that this was once a village, a town, and the largest of them was the former capital of the Chijin Empire.

He was clearly a step late, the prosperity of the past was gone, and the people were gone.

Along the way, I also encountered many ugly-looking demons crawling on the ground, which seemed to have evolved from beasts. He tried to use purifying magic to dispel the dark power in their bodies, but found that the dark power was too powerful, and he had no choice but to kill it.

Until you walk into the heart of this former empire, among the ruins, there is an incomparably huge hole in the ground. The diameter is up to 100 zhang wide, and it is pitch black and bottomless.

A thick aura of darkness poured in from it, taking the form of a black mist that swirled around the entrance of the cave.

Black Feather was shocked and shocked.

He covered his mouth and nose with his hands, and his white wings protected him, this strong dark aura made him feel uncomfortable all over, and even felt that the divine power on his body was gradually passing away.

"Is that what it is...... Unleash the source of the dark power? here, connected to the depths of the earth?"

He stretched out his palm and formed a large magic circle covering the entire entrance of the cave, trying to suppress the endless stream of dark power. After several repeated attempts, they failed.

The golden light of the magic array faded away, and was once again shattered by the powerful dark power below.

"No, the dark forces here are too powerful to be stopped by my own strength. ”

At this moment, I suddenly heard the sound of human voices and horses' hooves behind the thick fog, and it was noisy, and gradually approached the entrance of the cave.

"Hey, who's over there!"

Apparently the person on the other side had spotted himself, a rugged voice asked.

Black Feather thought for a moment and asked back:

"Are you the inhabitants of this place?"

The person on the other side muttered, "Sure enough, someone...... It's full of demons, what are you doing here!"

A voice beside him suddenly said vigilantly:

"Wait! He's not a demon too, look behind him, there's something weird!"

"Demons can talk?"

"I've heard that people still have rudimentary sanity and speech skills before they completely degenerate into demons......

Listening to what they said word by word, Black Feather couldn't cry or laugh. At the same time, the horse's hooves rumbled, approaching this side.

"Just check it out. Light the fire first, take a picture of the front, it's too dark in here!"

Suddenly, a stream of flames shot towards Black Feather, and he took a step back, dodging the flames. Thankfully, the flame was only a temptation, and it didn't really want to hurt him.

The flames fell on the bare ground with no vegetation, but they were not extinguished, they were still burning, and the warm orange-red light illuminated the space. Kuroba was surprised.

"The flame that is not extinguished should be the descendant of Chiyan. ”。

The cavalry soon came to Black Feather, about a hundred or so men, some of whom wore armor made of gold and held staffs. Others wore black armor and black swords around their waists, looking imposing.

They hold the reins, move in unison, and are well trained.
