Chapter 146: The Sage and the Maiden

Millennium Night 2000

New York

Because of the Great Lakes effect and the arrival of a strong cold air, the heavy snow has been going on intermittently for several days.

Buildings, neon billboards, and newsstands are all covered in white hats.

Morigaoka neighborhood in Queens

It's a place where the middle class is relatively concentrated, and although every home is already decorated with colorful lights, it's especially beautiful on a snowy night.

But there are far fewer people than usual, because many places in New York today have held grand celebrations, and the Stark Group in Times Square has sponsored a giant maglev lamp of the century.

But what is not known to the world is that at this special point in time, many demons from other dimensions are also staring at the earth.

In the open space in the middle of the street of the community, the space suddenly shattered like glass, and a demon four or five meters tall like a lizard in armor escaped in embarrassment.

He looked behind him in horror, and the Ancient One Master walked out with his hands behind his back.

As soon as the demon wanted to ask for mercy, it was instantly tied up by several crimson energy ropes that appeared with a wave of the ancient one's hand, and then several sword-like yellow lights flashed, and this terrifying-looking demon was cut into several pieces, and then gradually turned into ashes and dissipated.

Master Gu Yi was just about to leave, but he turned his head with a feeling, and on the attic window of a villa not far from here, a little girl of six or seven years old was lying on her stomach looking here.

Hush...

The Ancient One smiled and shook his head as he put his finger to his mouth before stepping through the space-time portal and vanishing.

The little girl in the pink pajamas hurriedly jumped off the chair in the window, ran to the bed in three or two clicks, and burrowed tightly into the quilt, secretly revealing a pair of bright eyes.

"Angelina, baby, are you asleep?" A middle-aged man with glasses walked in.

"Dad, do you say there are demons in this world?" The little girl asked nervously with a bowed head.

"Perhaps, demons are hidden in people's hearts, but don't worry." The middle-aged man suddenly hugged the little girl in his arms, "There will be a beautiful elf guarding you." ”

"Elves?"

"It's a beautiful and graceful creature." The little girl's father smiled, "They live in a fairyland-like forest..."

…

Angelina gradually grew up and became a slim girl.

Influenced by her parents, both historians at New York University, she also fell in love with the subject.

Her mother studied orthodox history, while Angelina and her father were obsessed with some of the myths and legends in history.

Although there are occasional academic disputes, this is a happy family.

That all changed just a year ago.

Angelina's father has cancer and is at the end of his life, and the mother and daughter are devastated.

As he was dying, the father pointed to his heart at his daughter, "Angelina, remember, there is a beautiful spirit guarding you..."

After the funeral, a fierce quarrel broke out between the mother and daughter, who were also in a bad mood.

"Angelina, I'm against you studying these useless things again, you should study orthodox history!"

"There are many historical mysteries mentioned in my father's manuscripts, and some remaining evidence shows that many mythological things are true, and didn't Thor, the god of thunder, all appear."

"He's an alien, there's no such thing as a monster in the world. If you continue to study, you will achieve nothing for the rest of your life, just like your father! ”

"Don't say that about your father, and I'll prove to you that he's right!"

Angelina slammed the door and left.

In the days that followed, Angelina went out alone and lived with several female classmates.

She still studies the myths and historical texts of various countries every day, and her makeup is also influenced by her roommates, and she has a punk style all day long.

Slowly, she is a little desperate, the myth and history are a mystery, this is a society where technology is dominant.

At a roommate party, Angelina gets drunk and can't help but tell her story and despair.

A girl from Germany took out a parchment scroll and said jokingly: "This is a treasure handed down from my family, my ancestor was a nobleman who saved a witch named Agatha Hackson and got it." I heard that it was about Merlin and King Arthur, and you can find the legendary elven kingdom of Avalon. ”

Everyone else didn't take it seriously, except Angelina.

She took the parchment and after detailed research, she firmly believed that the map was real.

So the four girls set out on a search journey.

They arrived in England, strayed into the space-time portal according to the parchment scroll, and came to a planet full of green forests.

Two months later,

Even if the planet is quiet and peaceful, even if the planet is full of fruits and melons to survive, even if they have found some relics that resemble elven buildings.

The other three girls couldn't stand it anymore, and the spearhead was unanimously pointed at Angelina, who studied the ruins every day.

There is no comfortable life, no Internet, no cosmetics, no sex with their boyfriends, they complain about everything, and they constantly say vicious words every day.

And Angelina just endured it silently, her full attention was already on these elven ruins, and she made up her mind to find the mystery of the elven disappearance for the rest of her life.

And all this is silently stared at by a pair of eyes.

One night,

Angelina was sorting through her notes, and they had crossed in a rented car, so the books and manuscripts were still there.

The other three girls had long since alienated her and moved to another vacant lot.

Just when she was a little sleepy, suddenly, without warning, a mysterious man wearing a black robe and a hood appeared around the campfire.

Angelina was frightened, but she was brave by nature and forced herself to calm down, turning her hand and holding the self-defense dagger, "Who are you?" ”

The mysterious man said in a deep voice, "I am a sage, brave maiden, and you have fallen... No, what are you after? ”

Angelina had a black line, but still said, "I'm looking for the legendary elven kingdom." ”

The mystery man asked, "Why do you have to find the elves?" ”

Angelina suddenly remembered her father, and said with some sadness: "For the sake of childhood dreams, in order to prove something..."

The mysterious man's voice was full of temptation: "Your wish will come true, but are you willing to accept a test?" ”

Although it felt a little ridiculous, Angelina thought about it and nodded, "I do!" ”

"Good." The mystery man nodded.

Then, Angelina felt something suddenly wrap around her waist, and in front of her eyes, she had come to a towering tree with a glimmer of light.

There was a hollow in the center of the tree, and at the signal of the mysterious person, Angelina walked in.

Then the spirit was in a trance, and the history of the elven kingdom slowly unfolded in front of me...

The mysterious man lifted his hood, it was Li Mo, he looked at Angelina in the tree hole expectantly, and after a while, he couldn't help but ask, "Mera, how is it, can she do it?" ”

A translucent elf female phantom suddenly appeared next to Li Mo and nodded with a smile, "Congratulations, this girl is kind, righteous, brave, and friendly enough to the elves to become the new guardian." ”

This Mera is the product of the combination of the intelligence brain of the Dark Elf Civilization Restart Project spaceship and the Light Elf Ancient Tree, and is the guide of this new elven race.

β€œyes!” Li Mo couldn't help but wave his fist.

After a while, Angelina walked out with tears on her face, she already knew all the causes and consequences.

After seeing Li Mo's appearance, she was stunned for a moment, "Why do you look so much like that famous tentacle monster..."

Li Mo's face darkened a little, "Don't worry about these boring things, let me ask you, are you willing to become the guardian of the nascent elf race?" ”

Angelina remembered the tragic fate of such a beautiful creature as an elf, and remembered her lifelong pursuit, and said without hesitation: "I do, but..."

"Alright, it's you!" Li Mo hurriedly said.

"However, I am just an ordinary person, how can I have the ability to protect a race." Angelina was a little anxious.

"That's later, Mera, give her permission." Li Mo shook his head and said.

Then, with a wave of Mera's hand, a small diamond-shaped spar the size of a fingernail suddenly appeared on the elven tree, slowly floating over and sticking to Angelina's forehead.

Angelina touched it curiously, feeling that the spar had been combined with herself.

"Okay, let's go." Li Mo didn't wait for Angelina to ask, grabbed her hand and flew into the night sky in an instant.

Before Angelina could fully appreciate the taste of flying, Li Mo looked at a place and teleported over.

It was a small lake, and it didn't look like anything abnormal, but when Li Mo and Angelina arrived, the spar on Angelina's forehead glowed, and the surrounding scenery immediately changed.

The lake is lit with stars, and next to it is a tall stone statue of an elf, and there is a rock in the lake with a large sword with a golden handle and a beautiful carved pattern.

"This isβ€”" Angelina suddenly thought of something, and her breathing became a little rapid.

"The legendary Sword of the Lake, also known as the Sword of Victory of the Oath, aren't you looking for it?" Li Mo shrugged.

"But... This sword isn'tβ€”" Angelina's voice stammered.

"Don't do it, pull it up and I'll tell you." Li Mo hurriedly urged.

Angelina nodded, calmed down, and swam towards the lake.

After climbing the reef, she looked at the legendary sword, held it in her hand, and slowly pulled it out.

The rippling starlight in the lake suddenly began to spin, and then slowly floated towards Angelina, who was a little overwhelmed...

Angelina's starlight grew brighter and brighter, and after a burst of dazzling light, she found herself dressed in a beautiful armor of bright silver, and her bleached hair had turned blonde and curled over her shoulders.

"Just jump over here!" Li Mo shouted loudly: "You should feel the difference. ”

Angelina felt the power that was pouring out of her body, and jumped to the shore of the lake with a light leap.

Li Mo looked at the heroic and beautiful woman in front of him and shook his head in admiration, "I know you have many questions, so I'll tell you now." ”

The Sword of Victory of the Oath was originally crafted by the Elves of Light, and its bearer must be the guardian of the Elves and take an oath to protect the Elves.

The sword is linked to the planetary energy of Alfheim and is engraved with powerful phantom runes, providing the wielder with armor, strength, and abilities.

"Legend has it that King Arthur was also an elven guardian?" Angelina asked curiously.

"This sword was brought to Earth by some refugees after the fall of the elven kingdom, and the elves didn't want to choose him at all, but Archmage Merlin is too strong, and these elves are helpless."

Li Mo said with some disdain: "Sure enough, he only cared about expanding the territory with this sword, and he had already left those elves behind. He forgot his oath, and after the elves all died in an accident, the planetary energy fell silent, the sword became scrap metal, and of course he himself died. Mage Merlin returned the sword and sealed it here. Historical stories are all made up by posterity. ”

Seeing Angelina jumping in place with some excitement, feeling the unprecedented power, Li Mo shook his head, "Don't take your current self too seriously, only when the nascent elf clan continues to grow and the planetary energy becomes more and more active, the power of this sword will be revealed, and there are many things you have to learn, elven swordsmanship, phantom rune magic, strategy and even elven technology..."

"So much?" Angelina was dumbfounded.

"You're nowhere near a proper Guardian." Li Mo shook his head, "It's not so easy to be the guardian of a race. ”

"Anyway, since I made a vow, I'll do my best!" Angelina's expression hardened.

"Very good, that's what I want." Li Mo nodded appreciatively, "I'll find you another backer." ”

With a curious expression, Angelina followed Li Mo out of Alfheim on the McQueen and came to Muspelheim, the land of fire.

In the Hall of Flames, they met the Flame Lord Surtr.

"Honorable Flame King." Li Mo smiled, "I'm looking for you to do me a favor." ”

Surtr had never seen someone like Li Mo, and unconsciously raised the Twilight Sword, "Your courage is simply too big..."

"Wait a minute!" Li Mo hurriedly raised his hand, "Flame Monarch, do you remember Simmara on the shore of Starlight Lake?" ”

Surtr froze in place.

"Here's the thing..."Li Mo hurriedly introduced the cause and effect, and then pulled Angelina over, "This is the new guardian of the elf race, her strength is too weak, guarding the budding new elf race, in this terrible universe full of jackals..."

"Shut up!" Surtr let out a low roar, and after a moment of silence, he threw over a bracer carved from a flame spar, "In case of danger, you can summon me through the bracers..."

After saying that, Surtr ignored the two of them and sat on the Flame Throne and began to be stunned.

Li Mo hurriedly took Angelina and left, returning to Alfheim.

"Honorable Sage." Seeing Li Mo busy like this, Angelina unconsciously put on the honorific title, "What should we do next?" ”

"It's not us." Li Mo hurriedly shook his head, "It's you, and the next thing is your own business." ”

"Huh?!" Angelina was dumbfounded again.

"Let's go see the first generation of elves first." Li Mo didn't wait for her to hesitate, and pulled her to a wooden house.

"The Guardians are back!"

A crisp child's voice suddenly sounded, and a large group of elf Loli ran out, some chirping, some crying and shouting, and a few naughty jumped on Li Mo's shoulder, pulling their faces and scratching their hair...

"I'll leave the rest to you!" Li Mo said with a smile on his cracked teeth.

Then he pointed at Angelina and said loudly to a group of loli: "In the future, this beautiful sister will be your guardian!" ”

The lolitas rush towards Angelina, who is at a loss...

Looking at the figure of the McQueen rushing into the sky, Angelina's face was a little stiff and said to Mera next to her: "I feel that he is throwing the pot." ”

Mera asked rhetorically, "Do you regret it?" ”

Angelina looked at a large group of pure-eyed elf Lori behind her, and her voice became gentle and firm: "This is the most correct choice in my life!" ”

"Then I can tell you, he's just throwing the pot." Mera smiled faintly, "If you're smart, he can't get rid of it..."

…

Half a month ago,

Li Mo: "You're saying that these elf loli need to be raised for 50 years before they grow up?" ”

Mera nodded.

Li Mo: "You're saying that elven women are unwavering in their loyalty, and their partners will make them kill themselves?" ”

Li Mo: "So, my elven harem cultivation plan..."

Mera: "Wishful thinking! ”

Li Mo: "Shit! ”
