Chapter 1557: Simple Past Tense
Killitt felt like he had come into contact with the female voice somewhere. After all, the pleasant timbre gave me a rather familiar and intimate feeling, as if I was facing a teacher with a very good relationship. However, Gillett was sure that he had heard the female voice for the first time. He was still confident in his memory.
Ordinary people have this kind of cognition, probably they will scare themselves into the creepy. However, the half-elf sword master seemed to have thought of a possibility, and then sighed faintly. He released his hands from the hilt of his sword and instructed everyone behind him, "I'll take care of something." You are here, don't move. ”
“…… So, did you go by yourself this time? You men, don't forget to be handsome when the time comes. Miss Witch sneered, but she didn't object.
There was a little commotion among the guerrillas, but as their most capable instructor, Killitt was more authoritative in the minds of the young people than the vice-presidents. Here, at least, his command is absolute.
Killitt walked unhurriedly into the tunnel. He had walked this path countless times since he was a teenager, and he could even remember how many bricks there were on the road. With his current steps, he would only have to walk one thousand and eighty-nine steps to reach the end of this tunnel. However, there is a well-hidden trap that opens to reveal a spiral staircase further down. Descend another 2,212 stairs to the only dungeon space on the main island of Neosfia.
There, a group of undead lived. There are ancient and modern ones...... They call themselves evergreen hermits. They run a bar called Red Forest, and an underground town called the Green Shade Building, which hosts all the special high-level undead.
It is common sense for ordinary people that the higher undead are all carriers of plagues, and the creators of natural disasters are the most dangerous and disgusting beings in the world. However, Killit already knew in his teenage years that not all undead are evil things that hate the living - of course, in terms of Killit's racial lifespan, he is actually only a teenager who has not yet reached the age of eighteen.
It was only in the past few years that the half-elf swordmaster learned about the existence of the hermitage, however, he still remembered that he did not have a happy childhood in the stubborn and xenophobic Twilight Island because of his special bloodline. So, he had an adventurous nature as a human being, and when he was less than ten years old, he left Twilight Island on a small raft.
The one who drives the raft into the sea is either the protagonist or the dead. Luckily, Gillitt is the latter. After he and his raft were blown down by the waves, they woke up not in the so-called land of the dead, but on an isolated island with forests, streams and beaches.
On such a living island, as long as the survival skills in the wild are barely enough, you can't theoretically die. It's just that the half-elf of his youth was not happy too early. He soon noticed that a transparent ghost was floating beside him, looking at him with interest.
…… Killitt finally remembered where the other party's voice came from. The reason why he felt familiar and strange was that the voice of the living was made from the body, but the voice of the ghost was simulated with negative energy. Although they are all the same timbre, they are actually completely different textures.
"Teacher...... Turns out you're a member of the Evergreen Order! The half-elf sword saint smiled a little reluctantly and patted his forehead: "Hey, why is it a little weird when I say." When I first came to Neosfia, why was it so easy to meet the people of the monastics? And ah......" He patted the black sword on his waist, the hilt of the interpreter: "This is actually the sword of the famous elven sword saint Malvinier in the era of the Mortal Dust Empire. I didn't find out until I read too many classics. Now that I think about it, there were many coincidences when I got this sword, it should have been through your guidance, right? ”
"Malvinier was a good friend of mine, and his sword deserves to have an inheritor. I'm lucky to have met you, Gillitt. It's like Her Royal Highness Tidlight met the kid named Lu Xi. The owner of the voice finally appeared at the end of the tunnel. It was a very tall elven woman, dressed in an elegant striped plate armor that looked more like a work of art, and wore a leaf-green cloak, as if she had walked down from the history books of mythological times.
"I've known each other for so many years, but it's the first time I've seen a real person." Gillett sighed and sighed, "Although three hundred years ago, I never saw you again." The ancients in the age of mythology, were they all like you? I always like to pretend to be cool mysteriously, and I don't want to express it frankly if I have any knowledge and treasures that need to be inherited, so I have to hide it. I accidentally thought it was the villain who was hiding there and brewing a conspiracy. ”
"That's in line with the style of our previous generations of undead, isn't it? Otherwise, I can't just say to an underage child that we are the Praetorian Guards of the Mortal Dust Empire, because the curse of the Golden King has become undead or something. Don't you remember? I told you to let go of your fear and guard, but how much work it took! She smiled, "So, let's get acquainted again." Little Kirit, my name is Calfeth Sephama Astar, the chief knight of the Praetorian Guard of the Eternal Green Nation, the Guardian of the Holy White Tree of the First Rank, and the previous president of the Evergreen Hermitage. ”
"So, when we first met on that small island, it wasn't also arranged by you, right?"
“…… Hey, hey, and then you want to say that the shipwreck you encountered was also caused by me? In your mind, what is the image of your mentor? Calfe said loudly angrily: "I, unlike the contented old man of Nick Fros, was originally an idle fellow, although he became a ghost, as long as he can maintain his sanity and memory, he also hopes to walk around." In other words, it is precisely because it has become a ghost that it is convenient to act. It's easy to walk through walls or float. As long as it does not detach itself from the influence of the Emerald Heart, it will become. So, when I drifted again, I met you on the beach unconscious on a small island in the open sea. I have to say that a half-old child dares to sail on a small raft, either a fool or a madman, or a paranoid. Either way, it's more interesting than my comrades-in-arms who have been turned into ghosts and have been miserable for a long time. ”
“…… Well, there wasn't Neosfia back then. I really didn't know that the island where I was killed was so close to here. ”
"Indeed, it is only a dozen nautical miles away. If you can hold out for a few more days, you will be the first explorer to discover Neosfia. The elf looked at Gillitt with a helpless and distressed smile, and also "giggled" a few times, and then said, "I have nothing to do, and I will slowly begin to teach you." Whether it's swordsmanship, or the most effective killing technique, or all my experience, whether it's combat or battlefield experience, you're learning very quickly. Hehe, if it weren't for the fact that you really don't have the heart to make meritorious contributions, maybe you might have even taught you the ability to march and fight. ”
"It doesn't matter, I know my character, and I can't be the commander of thousands of troops. Take forty or fifty people to dig a grave, digging a grave, and digging a grave is my limit. Even the Kraken Chamber of Commerce and the following societies or something, I'm now losing them to Xiao Youyi. Killitt's hand naturally hung down on his waist, as if he had completely relaxed: "However, you have taught me all the areas I am interested in, and you have no secrets at all. In the end, he also led me to the ruins of the main battlefield of the Holy Spirit Field, got the interpreter, and also got the clue to find the sky and blue sea. Although you are chattering every day, as a teacher, of course, it is perfect. It's even better if you don't end up with a goodbye. ”
Gillett said that he was actually quite psychologically shadowed at the time. The ghost teacher who had been with him for decades said that if there was no, there would be no more, and the blow to the half-elf sword saint who was still a child at the time was still very big. He was even wondering if he had been abandoned "again", and he was ready to take revenge on society for a while. Fortunately, he then met a lot of adventurous companions with good views, and this turned the bear child in the outbreak stage of the second disease into a generation of "heroes...... Well, of course, there is nothing wrong with the heroes who open the underworld.
But that's another story.
"I already feel that the will is being annihilated, and the reason is weakening. At that time, as an undead spirit, this was a sign of total depravity. Why, don't you feel that I'm a little too grumpy in the last hour? ”
“…… No, not at all. ”
“…… Anyway, the rule of the Evergreen Hermitage is that once you find a problem, you will return to the shade of the building and let yourself fall into eternal sleep. If the last member of the team is not resolved by the time the signs of sanity annihilation appear, use the secret method to detonate the Emerald Heart. This might have caused a major earthquake or something in Neosfia, but it was also much better than unleashing a bunch of undead lords. Hehe, it's not me who blows my mouth, over the years, as undead, we have nothing to do, in fact, we have also studied the use of negative energy. As far as his research into necromantic magic goes, the group of dead houses in the dark canopy are not worthy of us as apprentices. Calfe held his head high and said proudly.
This is probably the pride of mortal elves, right? However, what is the difference between what kind of undead magic attainments are you talking about as a mortal elf, and what is the difference between this and a special monk saying that he is proficient in what Yangzhou Eighteen (Meow) touches the forty-eight hands of Edo and so on? So what the hell is a proud fart?
"Teacher, your line is like a villain boss, yes, it's the feeling of the first villain being defeated and then jumping out of the behind-the-scenes boss."
"Because of our gang, the day we are cursed by the Golden King, we are already villains. If it weren't for the influence of the Emerald Heart, there would have been nothing to do with Kazan a long time ago. Or, they have been defeated by a group of salvation heroes. The abhorrence of the undead to the living is a natural law. We don't have a way to completely dissolve this nature, at least not yet. The elf said calmly, "So, little Gillet, your good friend, is indeed our savior." In fact, when we are cursed to become undead, we as elves are dead, and our allegiance to the mortal royal family is gone. The second life is equivalent to what he gives. So, we have indeed made up our minds to pledge allegiance to him and to his future generations. ”
"There's another but, right? If that's not the case, why would he let me stay here? "Half-Elf Sword Saint Dao.
"However, even I never imagined that a thousand years ago, the heart of Emerald was engraved with spiritual runes." Galfe also showed a wry smile: "She is the royal descendant of the mortal elves, one of the leaders of the Dawn Alliance, and the most powerful spiritual magic master of our time, who has come to help us recharge the Emerald Heart and maintain the magic circle and magic structure, who would doubt it?" Strictly speaking, don't we still have to call her Your Highness? ”
"So...... Actually, has she already cast a spell on all of you? ”
"It's not just an ordinary spell, it's a spiritual imprint. Those of us who struggled to ensure the will of the living under the influence of the power of the Emerald Heart have actually become the puppets of His Highness. Whatever she tried to ask us to do, we couldn't resist. ”
Gillett sighed silently and took a steady step: "So, your current state ......"
"I've been manipulated by her now. Don't look at me and I'm still catching up with you like this, but I can't refrain from treating you at all...... To the city outside, to the whole world. Calfe smiled: "But, I don't know why, that Highness didn't use the spirit seal to annihilate my own will. So, with the authority of the head of the hermitage order, I closed all the paths. Let my subordinates and the inhabitants of the Green House sleep for a while, but all this is temporary. I don't know how long I'll last with that little bit of sanity. Maybe in the next second, I'll be a complete killing machine. ”
"So, Gillitt, you've got to get it as soon as possible." Before her words fell, her figure flashed, and the person had already appeared behind the half-elf sword master, and the elven long knife in her right hand slashed out a near-perfect full moon and slashed at the back of the opponent's neck.
However, with a "Phew! The long knife slashed at the spine of the black sword. Killitt didn't even look back, just topped it with an understatement and landed right on the opponent's attack trajectory.
"Thank you. Teacher! He said.
"Huh?"
"Thank you for making things so simple."
