Chapter 1543: The End of the Twelve Heroes
The shrinkage of the dream world is simpler than Lu Xi imagined. There were no landslides, no tsunamis, no earth collapse, not even a little more intense shaking and roaring. In a short moment, the delicacy in front of him turned into a dazzling white light, flashing so that people's eyes couldn't open it; Then, the white light gradually froze again, turning into an ethereal haze.
The haze soon began to dissipate again, and the shadows that were not real gradually solidified again. Lu Xi was soon able to see the scenery in front of him clearly—wasn't it the roof terrace of the Ancient Tree Palace where he was just now, but where was it? He got up from his chaise longue, and the first thing that caught his eye was, of course, Tidlet, dressed in a white silk robe. Her face was expressionless, but in a pair of eyes that seemed to be ancient and waveless, she seemed to have expressed all kinds of emotions.
Lu Xi wanted to take a breath, but inexplicably felt that his heart was filled with sadness, although he did not go against the current into a river, but he was also so blocked that he couldn't breathe it out, and he was strangely bored.
"Why do you feel relieved?" Sister Tido's voice seemed to be a little low, but it was not emotionally low, and it seemed to have a strange sense of bewitchment full of magnetism: "Is it because you killed me once?" Is it because of cracking my life's work of demonic path? ”
"Probably because I'm sure once again that I, who prides myself on having a good outlook, is actually even more ruthless than I imagined?" Lu Xi sighed, and squeezed out a smile a little reluctantly: "So, what about you, Sister Tido, you put the core that maintains the entire dream world there, are you betting that I won't hurt you, or ......?"
Tidrith Lin Ge paused and said with a smile: "Because of this, I won't suffer any loss no matter what!" The most precious memories of my life will naturally be hidden in the deepest part of my consciousness. In this way, even if I don't design it, it will be hidden in the safest place in the dream world. In other words, the less I deliberate, the safer I am. Of course, it doesn't matter if you meet a very smart and prepared little villain like you. If you choose to give up, then of course I have succeeded. ”
"When you say success, do you mean revenge against the Holy Springs Royal?"
The other party glanced at Lu Xi, and then said: "The empress of Auckland, who has only been on the throne for a year, and the crown prince Prince Sereditir, who has only been recognized by the heraldic court, will be missing." The Holy Springs Royal will be at a loss, and anyone with the right to inherit the throne will be ready to move. The princes of the empire who were forced to be angry but did not dare to speak out by the empress's "Tui En Order", well, that is, the poisonous plan of you, a little guy with a bad stomach, will once again take advantage of the situation. For the sake of their respective positions, and of course for survival, they will find ways to meet a new imperial supreme. After the rise of Gaius, the prestige of the Dimahia family will be at its lowest point, and Auckland will return to troubled times...... Yes, I said it, to take revenge on Knous. Then, his family, his descendants, his empire, will all be among the revenge. ”
"The bloody night was not actually the intention of Emperor Knoeus." Lu Xi felt embarrassed when he said this, and after thinking about it carefully, it might be the first time he spoke in such an unconvincing tone.
"But he's still acquiescing, isn't he?" Tidwlett was smiling, but the chill in her eyebrows seemed to turn into a cold east wind.
Lu Xi was speechless. For the first time, he felt that he had nothing to say.
Theodoro thought that the existence of Parn, the dream of Pahn's statehood, was a great threat to the future of Auckland, so he had that design. But do you really think that the participants are just a mere prime minister in purple? She sneered: "As smart as you, little Luxi, it's impossible not to guess the reason why Knous finally kept silent afterwards, right?" ”
Yes, on the night of blood, Knous was indeed unaware. And for a long time after it happened, he thought that the oathbreakers had been persuaded by the Lord of Calamity and bewitched by the King of Nightmares, so they betrayed their good friends. This is the case that in the later Battle of Jianwan, he piled thousands of succubus heads together to build a capital view, and nailed the corpses of the abyss lords to the cross, provoking the demon gods. However, no matter how secretive the conspiracy is, there will always be a day when it will be exposed, especially when Knous discovers that something is wrong and begins to investigate in detail, it is destined to be impossible to hide it anymore.
But why is there no follow-up? With the bravery of Emperor Knous and the wisdom of Empress Elena, what kind of resistance would make them all silent?
"Yes! There are too many people who don't want the country of Pahn's dreams to appear. Not only is there a Theodoro, but also a noble family of Auckland princes, the founding heroes of the Holy Springs Royalty. There are rock royals from the Northlands and the mountains, as well as the High Elf nobles of Twilight Isle. At this, a sneer appeared on Sister Tido's face, but it was not hatred and anger. In other words, a thousand years have allowed her to no longer express her anger. It's like a volcano that can destroy the world, but before it erupts, it is often hidden under heavy rocks, and it is difficult to detect.
"Yes, Xiao Lu Xi, even if we are the elven nobles who love history, respect tradition, and shout about King Faxian every day, not everyone will hope that the past era will come again. What's more, what Pahn dreams of, the common prosperity of all races, no more high and low, no more high and low, no more superior and inferior, is actually the biggest anti-tradition, right? They would rather spend their lives on Twilight Island and the Tatsumi Sea, mourning the glory of the past every day, rather than contributing to the future. Of course, I didn't count on their power in the first place, but I really didn't think that they had become enemies......"
It must have become an enemy in the first place. Lu Xi thought to himself. The elves don't look very thoughtful, and they are basically in the good camp, but in fact, they are all very "racist". Of course, elves are mostly old-fashioned, but they are not stupid. The legendary heroes of the human race, and the coercion like themselves, can of course convince them very much, but it is almost difficult for ordinary elves to regard ordinary humans as a species that can exist as equals. After all, there is too much difference between the appearance, strength, lifespan, and so on of both sides.
After all, the republic of all ethnic groups and equality for all is just a politically correct slogan, and whoever wants to turn the slogan into reality will be attacked by the masses.
Lu Xi sighed: "It is difficult to establish an idealistic country. Not even a slogan, not even a sign. Because, the brilliance of idealism is too bright and too dazzling. Once it shines into the hearts of many people and leaves their darkness unhidden, it becomes sin! ”
Sister Tiduo looked at Lu Xi faintly, and then showed a miserable smile: "...... Hehe, if you had been born more than a thousand years earlier, and you had come to advise us, so many things wouldn't have happened, right? It took me more than a thousand years to figure it out. So, I finally understood why even our comrades-in-arms who were together with the Brotherhood betrayed us. Even those of the so-called Twelve Heroes alongside Parn have betrayed us. ”
"Sir Lemire, the first deputy head of the Order of Saint Laurent, Sir Verrell, the Grand Inspector, Bérummere II, Marquis de lébique, and Dunster III, Count of Dowson, all of them were the founding fathers of the royal family of Holy Spring, and members of the Brotherhood of Tibra. And, of course, ...... Is Elijah, the Blazing Sword Saint of the Twelve Heroes? ”
"Heh, you guessed that, too?" Tiddelit smiled: "The truth inside should only be known to me, Firatir, the dead Kenous and others, right?" It is impossible for Knous to pass on such an unseemly thing to posterity, and you certainly will not hear it from your little empress. ”
"It's just speculation. Now, of course, it's certain. Yes, these were among the earliest founders of the Brotherhood of Tebra, and later became followers of Knous after the split. They were all noble Auckland nobles, but they all died a little unexplained shortly after the founding of the Holy Spring Dynasty. Especially the Grand Inspector Sir Verrell, this is a half-giant with the blood of a Titan giant, shouldn't he live like the so-called patriarch of the N Dynasty? The Battle of Jianwan suffered more than 20 wounds, but he still fought on the front line until victory. This kind of guy with a long blood bar that even demons are desperate would actually die from falling from a horse? Lu Xi shrugged his shoulders: "Of course, there are many founding heroes under the command of Emperor Knous, as a king, he is also a decent person who does not hesitate to reward, most of them can be regarded as monarchs and ministers, and they start and finish well." At most, there were some discussions about these unknown deaths, and then of course they faded away. ”
Speaking of this, Lu Xi stopped and looked at the other party: "It's just that the Blazing Sun Sword Saint Elijah said that he died soon after the serious injury after the decisive battle with the Thousand-Handed Demon Sword Saibina...... Heh, it's not like I haven't fought with that snake demon general, I am indeed a strong man, and my friends and I also fought hard to kill her. However, if it were me now, I could guarantee that she would not be my ten generals. Such a weakest tier in the legend can actually make a sword saint of mortal elf royal descent suffer a serious injury that cannot be healed? ”
Tiddelit smiled with "relief", as if she was proud of Lu Xi's cleverness, and then replied: "Elijah was born as one of the Morning Dancers of the Mortal Elf King Family, and in the ancient imperial era, she and the Lin Ge family were the biggest political enemies. So, all along, we didn't like each other, of course, in that era, let's just say the so-called competition of conscience. I can crush her in illusion, druid magic, and intelligence, but I must admit that she is indeed one of the best swordsmen of our time, known as the Juggernaut. I can usually rely on all kinds of off-the-board moves to take advantage, but if I really have to fight to the death, my winning rate is only 30%. ”
Her voice gradually sank: "The two of us have fought one thousand two hundred and sixty-four times, and I have won seven hundred and twenty-one times and drawn two hundred and thirty-four times. So, three days before I was about to go to the Dark Regions with Payne, she came to my door again to confront me. I don't doubt him, and I'm glad to fight. This time, it was her best performance, obviously a battle that didn't matter matter to life and death, but he stubbornly played an indomitable momentum on the battlefield. At that moment, I was caught off guard and soon suffered a lot of injuries. She stopped and apologized to me. Hehe...... In the competition, it is inevitable that there will be occasional misses. I didn't want my own business to delay Pahn's business, so I hid my injuries and went ahead as planned. Until the time of the bloody night......"
Lu Xi had always had some doubts before. Sister Tido is obviously a master-level spellcaster, even if she encounters a sudden attack by the oathbreakers, she should theoretically have some abilities, right? But in fact, in the entire Scarlet Night, Tidlet, who would never fall behind in the face of any of the twelve heroes, played the role of a weak woman. In order to cover her mobility problems, Pahn had to fight and retreat, which allowed her to withstand many additional attacks. Otherwise, where would the Knights of the Dawn, with the Heart of the Sacred Spring, be vulnerable to fatal wounds?
In this case, Elijah may play the most dishonorable role.
Lu Xi opened her mouth suddenly, but she couldn't say anything about the words "she may have been deceived".
"Yes, Elijah is my third person who must never forgive." Tiddelit sneered, "So, a few years later, I made another appointment to fight Elia. I beat her with what she does best, sword skills. She fell to the ground, tears streaming down her face, looking at me sadly and in despair, and chanting 'I'm sorry' until I cut off her head with a sword. Parn is no longer there, so what's the use of saying sorry ten thousand times? ”
…… Is this the end of the greatest sword master during the Qiming War? Compared with the "official history" said that he died on the sickbed, but I don't know which version is more sighing.
"Twilight and the Morning Dancers still don't know that I was the one who killed Elijah. Of course, until the time of Gyllenhaal, the last of the Morning Dancers died in the civil strife on Twilight Island, and my revenge against her is over. ”
The civil strife known as the "Black Swan War" caused the High Elves to completely lose their influence on the Dragon's Claw Peninsula, the Black Earth Hills and other places. The world hegemony of the Auckland Empire was also completely established at that time.
"However, the so-called Black Swan Rebellion was actually provoked by you, right?"
She smiled self-containedly, as if to say, "It's a trivial matter," and she acquiesced.
"And the second person I can't forgive is Knous." Tidlight said again.
