Chapter 13: Kingdom Heart

The night breeze stirred the hem of Jiexi's skirt, and the white dress suddenly brightened in the light.

It's like moonlight standing on the ground.

Robin stared at him calmly.

Not far away, under a white slate arch bridge, flowing water gurgled by, making a small sound.

"So let's get back to identity." Jiexi stretched out her right index finger and pushed her glasses, "In addition to these, the rest of the main trees were destroyed, some of which were due to natural causes, and some of them were due to blasphemous, but they couldn't escape a little-

When the main tree is destroyed, it also heralds the demise of the country or the race.

They once existed, but they were silently erased.

Even the once glorious Flame Empire and the Elven Kingdom could not escape this fate. “

What are the natural causes?

The Tree of Life, like all plants in nature, has its own natural enemies?

The battle of the blasphemers to destroy the main tree must have been bloody.

What are the people who have disappeared?

How long have they been through, and what kind of civilization have they created?

Robin opened his mouth, but didn't ask any more questions.

There were so many questions in his brain at once that he didn't know where to start.

There are too many unknowns in this world for him.

The history of any human being is bound to be full of legends.

The disappearance and demise of any civilization also has an extraordinary story.

Those things fascinated him.

This history is like what Jeongsie said, and he will understand it one day.

But not now.

You can't tell all the truth in one night, not to mention that this world is so large and has a long history.

He has a long way to go.

So, the angel is like the heart to the whole nation. She takes care of the main tree, sending blood to every organ that needs it.

The Fruit of Life brings new life to the lords and the entire kingdom of Itner, and continues the future of the kingdom.

To a certain extent, all of us were born into this world because of divine envoys and gifts from the gods.

Without the fruit of life, there would be no us. ”

Jiexi concluded, her face full of happiness.

Even Robin had a wonderful delusion-

Jeong-hee in front of her coincided with his high school history teacher.

And once that was the goddess in his mind.

That teacher enlightened his thirst and love for knowledge, and also taught him many things that did not exist in textbooks.

If Jiexi goes to be a teacher, then she will definitely be a good teacher.

Robin smiled at the corners of his mouth, not doubting this in the slightest.

Jess glanced at him quizzically, not understanding what he was laughing at.

"Therefore, for the kingdom, the Chosen One is the future oracle, that is, the only important core that can continue the bloodline."

After she finished speaking, she folded her hands to her chest and looked at Robin patiently and tenderly.

It's like a mentor who treats her smart and studious students.

"Well, there's one thing I'd like to ask." Robin asked.

"Please." Jess looked at him gently.

"I understand what you just said, the Chosen One is the heart of the future of the country. So how long does it take for the Chosen One to be born, and how many Chosen ones can there be in a kingdom at the same time, and how did the Chosen One come about? ”

"Hmm......" Jess hesitated, sorting out Robin's question in her head.

How did the Chosen come about, how much time did they intervene, and how many did they ......

It feels like you're discussing the bread baked at Anna's Bakery.

Jiexi couldn't help but laugh and sneered.

"What's wrong?" Robin was a little dumbfounded.

"It's okay, please forgive me for being reckless." Jiexi said respectfully.

Her arms circled around her chest, gracefully in a circle.

"The Chosen One, it's very sacred to say.

Successive chief priests are inspired by the Chosen Rite and then under God's guidance, they determine the identity and location of the Chosen One.

Under normal circumstances, the Chosen One of each country is born in its own country. “

"Generally?" Robin looked at her in amazement.

"Yes, there was an accident in history.

For example, the very famous oracle more than 300 years ago.

She is a native of López, but she was brought to Sekorid, where she became an oracle of Sekorid.

The priests of López had not predicted that she would have the ability to cultivate the Tree of Life. “

"Wait a minute." Robin frowned and interrupted her.

There was a very important message in those words that he had to make sure.

"In other words, if López discovers her abilities, in fact, the person known as the Oracle can cultivate López's Tree of Life and become their oracle, is that right?"

Jiexi was slightly stunned, then nodded.

"That's sharp, Lord Robin." She smiled slightly, "The Chosen One can cultivate the Tree of Life in other countries, and in history, López had a difficult period of godlessness.

The Chosen One has not yet been born.

At such times, our Divine Envoy had come to their aid, taking care of the sacred trees of Itnell and López, and had allowed them through those long and difficult years. “

"Hey......?" Robin's mouth opened wide in disbelief, "How is this possible?" You said we were mortal enemies......"

"There are no absolutes. But I have to say, Lord Robin. You're really sharper than I could have imagined. Jiexi was full of praise, and did not hide her admiration for him.

Speaking of which, apart from His Majesty, she had never seen such a person who knew so much and saw the fire.

What's even more terrifying is that this Chosen One has only been in this world for less than a few days.

But......

I don't know if it's good or bad for her and Your Majesty that the Chosen One is so smart and sharp......

Jiexi remembered the task that His Majesty had given her before leaving, and suddenly felt a little heavy.

If it is not done well, it is very likely to erect a formidable enemy for the future political situation......

She took a deep breath, trying to calm her excitement.

Now, I can only take one step at a time.

"For the situation, for the war, for the relations between countries......

All I can say is very subtle.

Different times and different environments will lead to different changes. She recalls history, as if she is in that era of war and blood.

"If you can see that at that time, the country that was bathed in blood, overcame thorns, rose like a giant, and extended its territory to the hinterland of López and Itnael through war, and the three kingdoms may end and be conquered by it.

Then you will be able to understand why our great king Sharon Ross and the divine envoy Sheila made such a choice. “

Because only by huddling together to keep warm can we survive the cold winter.

Because only by combining forces can we fight against the dragons.

The same is true in any country in the world.

Robin nodded approvingly.

In fact, the king and the oracle at that time probably had no better choice.

"So, for the other two questions you just asked, the answer is-

The number and time interval of the Chosen are indefinite.

In some cases, the interval between the next Chosen One can be decades. ”

Jiexi opened her mouth and stopped talking, but she never told him-

In fact, it has been sixteen years since Itnell's last Chosen One and Robin's arrival.

And sixteen years is enough to reproduce a generation.

It's enough to destroy a generation.

"I see." Robin retracted his smile and his eyes became serious, "So the blasphemer wants to kill me, because killing me is tantamount to depriving the Tree of Life of its future caregiver."

The people of Sekorid, knowing of my existence, will kill me, and without the Chosen, Iternel will be in a demographic rift.

In the same way, the López people want to kill me, the Holy Blood Empire ......"

A flash of surprise suddenly flashed in his eyes......

Why did the Crimson Guards, including Iyeta, make the first choice at that time -

Capture him?

They have two main trees, so why do they want an Chosen One of Itnair?

I don't know why, but in Robin's heart, a strange feeling swelled faintly.

The terrible thought flashed through his mind, and he shuddered and couldn't say a word in astonishment.

"What's wrong?" Jiexi asked with concern.

"It's not ......," Robin shook his head, squeezing out a pale smile, "I've been through too much along the way, and suddenly I remember something terrible." ”

Jess stared at him for a moment, the suspicion in her eyes faded away.

She reached out softly and took Robin's.

A rush of warmth came from her fingertips.

"It's fine." Her voice was gentle, and her fingers rubbed slightly, as if to soothe a frightened kitten, "It's all over." Everyone will always experience something bad. However, they will make us stronger. ”

It dawned on Robin that she must have thought I was scared of seeing the murders and the lives and deaths......

"Thank you, Jessie."

Robin smiled gratefully and withdrew his fingers.

"Go ahead." He said calmly.

"Okay." Jiexi nodded, seeing Robin's calm smile and finally relieved, "As you said, destroying a country's Chosen One is like destroying a country's future. Therefore, before you return to Bright Moon City, we may be ambushed by assassins from different forces buried in the kingdom of Itnell along the way.

Those are specially trained to know how to hide their whereabouts, and they also know how to kill with a single blow. “

Robin nodded approvingly.

"And that's just part of it." Jiexi took a deep breath, only to feel a little dry mouth.

"Part of it?" Robin looked at her in disbelief.

She smiled and patiently explained, "At least those we can control, like our spy organization—

Moon pupils.

Their eyeliner is all over the country, and if there is any hint of wind and grass, it will not escape their eyes.

However, there are some things, even if it is the Moon Hitomi or His Majesty the King, who can do very limited. “

"What......?" Robin looked at her quizzically.

At the same time, in the other party's pair of turquoise pupils, there was also a hint of secrecy.

"Lord." Jeongsie spat out the word.

"Lord?"
