Chapter 13: The Elves of the Night
It was black everywhere she looked, and the corpse lay there so quietly, with the same pointed and long ears as the elves, but not as noble and elegant as the elves, but extremely ugly.
Her weapon, a black bow, was lying quietly at her hand, and judging by her characteristics, it was supposed to be a female elf.
"I think you need to explain, Princess Elul. After taking a closer look at the corpse on the ground, Nalse turned to look at Ilul with a serious expression.
Iluer, who had been stunned for a long time, seemed to react at this time, and at the same time, the belated shock quickly climbed up to Iluer's face.
"Dark Elves. She thought for a long time before she squinted her eyes slightly and slowly confided the name of the species.
Immediately afterward, she whispered: "According to the time history records of our elven race, the dark elves and our life elves are both branches of the elven race, and the biggest difference between us is the source of faith and strength. ”
In fact, she hasn't recovered from the shock yet.
"My beloved Princess Elul, forgive me for being unheard, but I can't believe such a humble statement. Don Quixote, who was on the side, pinched his chin and said in a deep voice, this is not a trivial matter.
Ilul didn't want to explain the history of the Elves to the humans, but in order for the expedition to go ahead, she needed to answer some of their questions.
In this way, she slowly opened her mouth:
Four thousand years ago, there were dark elves and life elves living in the Haoyue Forest, and they got along well, and the Haoyue Forest was peaceful and quiet.
But suddenly one day, the dark elves were controlled by the demon god Satan, and they went berserk, destroying the forest and fighting against the life elves.
We were forced to resist, and after nearly three hundred years of fighting, we completely wiped out the dark elves, and after the victory, the elven queen at that time named the Bright Moon Forest the Forest of Life.
That's what the book says.
In this way, most of their doubts have been answered, but there are still too many doubts in front of them.
However, they all knew that now was not a good time to ask questions, and judging by Ilul's reaction, even the elves didn't know what was going on.
At this time, a native soldier came running in the distance and reported to Don Quixote: "General, the ship has been overhauled. ”
"Alright, let's go down first. As he spoke, Don Quixote pinched his chin and turned to look at Nalse.
Narse, on the other hand, looked up at the flotilla of ships in the distance, his vision blurred by the reflection of the sun, and then he grinned: "Now that the ship is repaired, let's set off first." ”
Immediately afterward, Narse helped López to his small spaceship: "I haven't learned anything else, but I have learned to be a hero to save beauty." ”
"Seriously, Master, you should really learn how to do first aid, in the name of your box of gold coins. Grumbling helplessly, López exhaled deeply, hoping to ease some of the pain.
This made Nalse cough awkwardly: "Nonsense, you will give me trouble every day, I really should let you taste what it is like to climb onto the spaceship yourself." ”
The setting sun reflected the departing backs of everyone, but Elul still stood quietly in place, and now, things had far exceeded her expectations.
"Princess, do you need me to report back?" said Rocky, glancing at the corpse on the ground, with obvious annoyance in his eyes.
"Of course. Elul nodded, "Although things are getting more and more confusing, we have no other choice, time is pressing, and we must avoid the Forest of Life being invaded again." ”
Then, Iluel looked down at the bow and arrow in her hand before she opened her mouth and said to Rocky, "Go and come back quickly." ”
Aya stood quietly behind Ilul, in fact, she had never heard of the Dark Elves, because she was too young, less than a hundred years old.
The History of Time, a book that can only be consulted after the rite of passage, but no matter what, she must hold on to her bow and protect Ilul, which is her mission.
Just as she was thinking, Ilul suddenly raised her hand and touched her head.
"Aya, don't think too much, just leave those to me to solve, you must protect yourself. "She could always sense Aya's emotions.
The coalition's spaceship rose into the sky again, this time only half a day's way from the Demon Realm.
"I don't think this trip to the Demon Realm will be so simple, and the wishful thinking of those politicians may be in vain, and I can feel that there is a storm of deep danger. Don Quixote leaned on the guardrail of the splint and looked into the distance.
"What is the verifiance of the history books written by the victors?" said Nalse, taking a sip of wine and silently looking at the soldiers who were boarding the ship below, hoping that this was not the calm before the storm.
Apparently he didn't believe what Ilul had to say.
Don Quixote did not say anything about this, and to be honest, he was not interested in it.
After a moment of silence, he spoke again: "One thing can only be determined now, the dark elves are hostile forces, and we have to be more cautious. ”
"Oh, I only hope that there will be no more trouble, or I will lose a lot, and for the sake of my due diligence, you should ask the king to pay me some more commission. "Maybe that's the only thing Narse cares about.
After hearing this, Don Quixote couldn't help but smile, he really admired Nelse's calmness, and then he continued: "I have written to Tel Aviv, hoping that he will know something. ”
The morning wind caresses the face, making people feel very refreshed, the morning sun rises slowly, and the dazzling sunlight quickly enters the eyes, and the demon world is close at hand.
Passionate, brave, fearless, calm, these emotions have long disappeared without a trace, because they know that what they are about to face is war, fighting, blood, and death.
But they can't run away from it.
They want to defend their homeland, they want to protect their families.
They must be fearless even if they are afraid, and they must be brave even if they are cowardly.
Death is far from stopping their footsteps, they still hold the blade in their hands and move forward bravely, because behind them is what they want to protect with all their might.
"Maybe I should say good morning to you, Master. Rubbing his swollen eyes, López slowly walked towards Narse, who may not have been used to life on the ship.
At this time, Narse should be asleep.
Hearing López's voice, Narcai raised his head and drank the wine in the glass, then threw the glass away, then turned back to López and said, "I've always been so hardworking, but you lack the eye to discover." ”
Perhaps López should have turned a blind eye to this.
"That's right. Nar muttered.
He seemed to remember something, then raised his foot and kicked the box behind him directly in front of López: "I'll give you a good thing." ”
Curious, he quickly climbed up López's cheek.
After a closer look, he squatted down and prepared to open the box.
"Are you sure it's for me, Master?" a set of silver knight's armor appeared in front of him, making López a little incredulous.
"Of course. Narse replied in the affirmative: "This represents the master's love for his apprentice." ”
"Master, this can't be what you picked up yesterday. López, who was full of joy, suddenly felt that something was wrong, and then asked in a rather helpless tone.
"What do you mean by picking it up yesterday, love to wear it or not. Old Narsei blushed, and then opened his mouth to argue loudly.
After speaking, he muttered in a low voice: "It's not that you can't wear it." ”
But it was all pouring into López's ears, but he didn't really care.
After López left, Don Quixote once again slid down the anchor to Narse's ship.
"Tel Aviv's reply came. With that, he threw the letter directly to Narse.
After taking the letter and opening it, Narse began to read it carefully:
The reinforcements are only one day's journey away from the Demon Realm.
There is no mention of the Dark Elves among our priests, but it is mentioned in the report of the Shadow Bat Order, which is affiliated with the kingdom.
Elves from the night, that's what they call that kind of thing.
Suddenly appeared in the Forest of Life, retreated after the outbreak of war, and absconded.
There are not many records about them, and they are so old that it is not known how true they are.
Returning the letter to Don Quixote, Nelsey bowed his head and began to think quietly.
"After all, it's just a report, don't be too affected, Narse. Don Quixote kept banging on the railing, and in fact, he was now full of doubts.
After a pause, he looked at Narse with some amusement: "By the way, when will you give me the money to buy the knight's silver armor." ”
"Deduct from the gold you ought to pay me, alas, I am merciful. Narse waved his hand, looking unconcerned.
As he spoke, López walked out of the cabin, and López, who was wearing armor, had a bit of a warlike momentum.
"How is it, Master. López asked satisfied.
Narse smiled, looked back at the rising sun, and slowly spoke, "You are a true warrior, get ready to face the cruelty of war." ”
