Chapter 225: Life and Death

"Higg! Sure enough, you're here! Higg hadn't gone far when he heard Benjamin's voice behind him.

Higg looked back and saw that it was Benjamin, Pantony, Dacomar, and Darwin, and couldn't help but be surprised: "Why are you here?" ”

Benjamin said angrily: "Are you still embarrassed to say that you can't say hello when you go out, and you will leave for days as soon as you leave." What about Blue Fairy, isn't she with you? ”

"How many days?" Higg was even more surprised, this kind of thing, he had encountered in the Valley of Flowers, two months in the Valley of Flowers, but three years in the outside world, which made Higg even more convinced that this was the exit to Middle-earth. Although surprised, Higg still pretended to be sorry and said, "She's fine, I'll come back to you first, but I forgot to come out for a few days!" ”

Pantony also said angrily: "Seven days, you have been missing for seven whole days!" We're going crazy looking for you! Please, next time you have an action, say hello in advance, okay! ”

Only Darwin still glared at Higg angrily, and stepped forward to ask, "Mr. Higg, this is the forbidden area of the Divine Beast Fence, how can you enter the forbidden area without His Majesty's permission?" ”

"Forbidden Zone?" Higg laughed, "When did your lord tell me that this is a forbidden area?" I guess the adults wish I broke into the forbidden area, so there is no return! If your majesty hadn't been patient here, I guess your lord would have thought I was trapped inside, right, my lordship? ”

Benjamin hurriedly dissuaded: "It's also that we haven't found you for several days, because the little unicorn knows the way here, so he guesses that the place you can come to is here!" What the hell are you doing here? ”

Higg glared at Darwin fiercely, then turned to Benjamin and said, "Do what?" Do you want to be trapped in the enclosure of the Divine Beast? I found an exit here! ”

"Nonsense!" Darwin was so angry that his beard was almost up to the sky, "What's the outlet here?" It's clearly a unicorn's ......," Darwin said, suddenly shutting up, not daring to say any more, his eyes glancing at Benjamin from time to time.

"So, Lord Darwin has been inside?" Higg sneered, "Not only do you know that it's a unicorn mausoleum inside, but you also know that there's no exit inside at all?" ”

Darwin shouted: "Where have I ever entered, since ancient times, people who have entered the forbidden area have never come out alive, it is clearly a place of death!" ”

Higg didn't bother to raise the bar with this old fellow, and said to Benjamin: "This place can only enter and not exit, but it can't stop me, Lan Xian'er and Little Baiyun are trapped inside, and they are still studying the mystery of the exit passage!" ”

Benjamin was surprised: "Is there really an exit?" How did you know the exit was here? ”

"Now is not the time to discuss this, since we can only enter and not exit, we need to prepare as soon as possible so that when the exit opens, we can get out at any time!" ”

Benjamin thought for a moment and said, "Okay, I'll arrange it!" Let's go back and meet Daniel first! ”

……

Back in the village, after being scolded by Daniel, Nicole, and Noah, Higg tells Benjamin to leave everyone behind, leaving only himself, Benjamin, Daniel, Nicole, and Noah.

Higg informs everyone of what happened, but hides the beast's mane and jewels.

"Now it seems that there must be an exit in that place!" "And it's possible that this exit can only be opened once!" ”

Nicole asked curiously, "Are you so sure it must be an exit?" ”

"I've had a similar experience!" "Actually, I've only been in the cave for half a day, and you've been out for seven days!" Think it's incredible? That's because you haven't experienced it, I once spent two months in a certain place, but in the outside world, three years later! ”

Daniel then asked, "Why can it only be turned on once?" ”

Higg said, "This is how I feel! It was originally very strange to come to the Divine Beast Fence outside, it seemed that it was purely for the Elf King to meet the unicorn, and Benjamin completed the renewal of the blood contract with the unicorn, the task has been completed, and there is no need to come back here! Since the Divine Beast Fence has separated from the Middle-earth Continent, under the self-protection of this dimension, it is absolutely not allowed to interfere with the outside world at all! ”

Nicole asked puzzledly, "But after a few hundred years, what about other elf kings who want to continue the blood contract?" ”

"There's no blood pact!" "Sooner or later, this dimension will leave Middle-earth and become a new world!" ”

Benjamin nodded and said, "I did make a promise to the unicorn beast, if I can recover the forest empire, the elf royal family will take the initiative to cancel the master-servant contract with the unicorn beast!" In this way, I will be the last elven king who can command the enclosure of the divine beast! ”

Noah asked suspiciously, "General Benjamin, are you so sure that you can recover the Forest Country?" If it succeeds, it's okay to say, if it fails, will the elven royal family also give up this contract? ”

"Hahaha!" Benjamin laughed and said, "That's a good question, so I have to work hard to accomplish this great cause, and there is no other way back, otherwise the elves will sink forever and fall!" As you said, if it succeeds, of course, there is no problem in terminating the contract. But the elven clan is now in danger of extinction, once it fails, everyone is in a different place, is there still a need for that contract to exist? ”

Daniel said, "In that case, what about the people here in Darwin, who are also your people, should you take them with you?" ”

Benjamin said: "They have become part of the enclosure of the Divine Beasts, this is their world, but if they are willing, whoever they are, willing to follow me, I will never abandon them, and I will definitely settle them down when I go out!" So, I still have some things to do! ”

Darwin was naturally reluctant to go with Benjamin, but he also did not restrict the freedom of his people, he had to let the people know that the enclosure of the mythical beast might be closed forever, forever isolated from the outside world, and they would choose what to do.

Most of the elves are accustomed to this kind of peaceful life, and they also know that the outside world is constantly divided, and following Benjamin means bloodshed and sacrifice. However, there are still many enthusiastic young people in the clan, and they do not like this kind of uneventful, unchanging boring life, they yearn for galloping on the battlefield, making achievements, and yearning for a different way of life here.

There weren't many people following Benjamin, all of them were young elves, more than three hundred in all. Benjamin arranged for more than a hundred carriages to accompany him, as requested by Higg. No one knew what Benjamin wanted so many carriages for, and Darwin himself did not dare to ask.

Early the next morning, everyone who had prepared early gathered under the assembly flag of the square. More than 1,000 people in the whole village, six or seven hundred divine beasts of all sizes, plus more than 300 elves and more than 100 carriages following Benjamin, were all concentrated in the square.

For many people, maybe this is goodbye, because the person who leaves will go to another world, never come back, no longer have any contact, how many thoughts want to express to their loved ones, and can only silently bless in their hearts.

In fact, between life and death, how can it not be such a parting? After death, people just go to another completely different world, this world has no connection with us, we want to die relatives, dead or departed relatives are also thinking about us, but heaven and man are separated, and the two can never communicate with each other.

The farewell of relatives and relatives is painful, every mother hugged her child who was about to leave, wept bitterly, and the people in the square were all saddened by this parting of life and death.

Fortunately, they also have unicorns, and they can go back and forth between dimensions through the collective flag, which gives them some spiritual sustenance, so that they will not really die of sadness like saying goodbye to life and death.

"Ladies of the Forest Country!" Benjamin stood under the collective flag and said loudly, "You are all loyal to the Empire, loyal to the Elven King, and have long paid a hard price for the prosperity of the Forest Nation and our Elven Clan, and you will always be the most loyal subjects of the Forest Country. The Divine Beast Fence has witnessed the rise and fall of the Empire, and you have also witnessed the glory and disgrace of the Elves! Countless of our ancestors have worked hard for generations to survive, become strong, and prosperous for the elves, and at that time, we were once the most powerful beings in Middle-earth, and we are proud of those who paid the price to die. However, now, the empire has been weak for a long time, surrounded by strong enemies, internal and external troubles, our land is being devastated by war, and our compatriots and comrades-in-arms are struggling in a pool of blood. The heroic spirits of our ancestors are watching us, the people in the storm are watching us, countless enemies are also looking at us, those eyes are looking at us, watching whether we continue to sink or move forward. I, Benjamin, as the new Elven King, swear that I will never be a slave to the country, and this King will lead all the warriors with this ambition to embark on the road to the recovery of the Elven race! Whether they stay behind or follow this king back to Middle-earth, they will always be the blood of our elves, and they will always be loyal to this king and loyal to the subjects of the forest country! The Divine Beast Fence may no longer be able to accept the thunder and rain of the Empire, but it will always be the territory of my Forest Country, and it is an inseparable element of the Forest Country. The contribution of the Divine Beast Fence to the Forest Nation and to the Elves will be remembered by every citizen of the Forest Nation. If my elven clan is recovered, I will erect a monument to the fence of the sacred beasts, so that all the people can admire and worship for generations to come! Farewell, Mythical Beast Fence; Farewell, most loyal people......"

"Hooray! Banzai! ...... "All the people in the square, all the unicorns, fell to their knees and bowed to their king one last time, and a great cry resounded through the sky......
