Chapter 40: The Shining Nobility of the Abyss
When Tina woke up from her coma, a voice rang out in her ear.
"Tina, my wisest child, tell me, what do you understand to be 'noble'?"
This is......
The elf struggled to get up, her spirit was still a little dazed, the strange feeling caused by the long-distance teleportation had not yet disappeared, and there were still some illusions left in her mind.
I seemed to see Amacer's back in the labyrinth just now, and the other party was standing in front of a mink with different pupils, without any intention of dodging, as if she had the intention of death, but before she could take out her longbow to save him, she was swallowed by a white light, and I don't know what happened to him now.
At this moment, a familiar voice sounded again.
"Tina, answer me."
"What?"
She looked up and saw a woman standing in front of her that had tarnished her eyes.
She had a majestic countenance that exuded a shuddering aura, long chestnut hair draped over her shoulders, and a crown carved with azure diamonds on her head, the top of which shone with gemstones.
Sengil Nightwhisper, a 1,400-year-old legendary elven mage, a follower of the Lord of the Waters, and the noblest queen of the Nightwhisper family.
There is an indescribable sense of familiarity in front of me.
"Noble...... It is pure blood and a heart that is eternally proud. β
She pursed her lips and subconsciously said the answer she had answered.
That's how I replied? It's naΓ―ve.
"That's not enough, my child."
Sengil's voice was gentle.
"I know, Patriarch." The elven girl looked up again, and spoke with some urgency, as if to prove that she was no longer childish.
"There is never nobility for the weak, only the victor can define the word." The great surname of Nightwhisper is noble not because it was born this way, but because of the efforts of generations of elves, it is gilded with golden brilliance and shines like Sorinari. β
Sengil smiled with satisfaction.
"You surprised me, kid."
Because that's what you taught me back then. Tina laughed self-deprecatingly, and I gave a childish answer as I do today, followed by all sorts of unrealistic fantasies.
"Take it, kid. There's a lost fawn stuck in a thorn bush and you need to save him. β
Sengil stretched out his hand, and a round red pill lay in his palm.
Tina submissively took it, a familiar feeling welling up in her mind.
Memories revived.
That's how he took the drug, became Idriel, and then acted in a play with the human named Glazer.
But it was decades ago, so why is it happening again at this moment?
As if seeing the confusion in her eyes, Sengil spoke again.
"Child, I'm talking about Amather, your favorite elf. He ...... with your sister."
"I understand, Patriarch." Tina said firmly, "She is no longer my sister, and she is no longer a noble elf, she will be taken back to the plains of the horses by that evil human, and she will be one of them for the end of her short and humble life." And all I have to do is save Amacer and let his dusty heart shine again. β
Sengil seemed more satisfied, and she didn't show the slightest hint of surprise.
"Go, boy, may the two moons bless you."
"May the two moons bless you."
Tina bowed, leaving her doubts behind her for a moment.
It wasn't too hard for her to deceive Amatho again, as she did the same thing almost every day. But this time, some unspeakable worries deep in my heart have shrouded all this.
β¦β¦
Amacer opened his eyes and saw the scenery around him, and couldn't help but sigh.
Quiet forests, dappled shades, and scattered moonlight hitting the ground even at night. The sound of insects and the rustle of leaves sounded in her ears, and the quiet lake was filled with a hazy light, like a dream, and under the shroud of the lake, Idriel's quiet profile also looked more holy.
Is this an illusion?
A flash of realization flashed through his heart.
Maybe it's because he had told Mu Yan a story before, he was hit by the illusion of a different pupil mink before he was swept in by the white light, and the past years came to mind. Although he had already felt the other party's claws with a strong wind gradually approaching, he still didn't want to let the beautiful bubble dissipate, so he didn't wake up for a long time.
Then the white light flashed, and the consciousness fell into chaos again, and when I woke up again, I really returned to that moment.
He hugged the elf girl lying in the crook of his arm, sniffing her hair greedily, tears silently rolling down his eyes.
"Amathe?"
When Idril woke up, she was a little confused, as if she felt the coldness on her head, and she hugged each other tightly.
"What's wrong, Amathe? Why are you crying? β
Amacer didn't answer, but his hands grew harder.
The girl was a little overwhelmed at first, but slowly she seemed to realize something.
"I'm not leaving, Amathe, this time it must be."
"Hmm."
Amachew squeezed a reply out of her throat.
After the two hugged for a long time, he took a deep breath and slowly exhaled it, as if he had made up his mind.
"Listen to me one last time, Eli."
"Hmm."
He put his hands on the girl's shoulders, stared at her face, and said in an almost reverent tone.
"I love you, Ellie."
"Me too, Amatho."
Idril smiled sweetly, then turned into a streamer in the breeze and disappeared with the wind.
The surrounding scene gradually distorted, scattered, and finally completely became chaos.
Amacer still maintained his hands in a position of reaching forward, but there was no one in front of him, he slowly lowered his hands and stood up with a blank face.
At this moment, a figure walked out of the mist.
"Bang Bang Bang ......"
With a round of applause, the other person spoke.
"It's wonderful."
Amacer was not in the slightest surprised by his appearance.
"Who are you?"
"As you can see, scholar and mage, Shamu."
Xia Mu performed a standard elf greeting ceremony, and Amacer, who had strictly implemented it for more than a hundred years, could not find any fault.
"You're not that human, who the hell are you?" He asked, frowning.
Xia Mu couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.
"Compared to this question, I'm curious, wasn't that scene just now very good, why did you take the initiative to choose to give up?"
"Are you saying I should give up the harsh reality and immerse myself in the illusion of beauty?" Amacer couldn't help but sneer. "It's quite similar to you imitating that guy's charm, but your brain is far behind, and there is no nutrition in the words you say, and this kind of problem can be taught by a forty-year-old child with a long speech."
"You say my Shen Yun looks like him?" Xia Mu snorted.
"Isn't it like a father like a son?" He muttered quietly, and then asked:
"If you don't talk about that, don't you have anything to ask? With so many trialists, it's the first time I've seen you so calm. β
"Trials? What trials? β
"A trial called 'Courage.'" He replied with a grin, "Even so, it's actually a hodgepodge of many things, such as the scene you experienced just now that you miss the most." I thought you'd be immersed in it and couldn't extricate yourself, but I didn't expect to be seen through so quickly. I was surprised by your decision, so I couldn't help but come out and talk to you. β
"Boring trick." Amacer was dismissive.
"Then don't cry your nose in the future." Xia Mu raised his finger and shook it. "Don't be like I see from your memory, I hope this time you can-"
"Although," Amacer interrupted. "Although you are trying to imitate him, and the arrogance that exudes from the two of you is the same, there is one thing you have done very poorly."
"Huh?"
"You don't have a bottom line." The elf's voice was cold, and his face seemed to be stained with frost.
"Heh, bottom line." Xia Mu smiled, "What's that?" β
"He will restrain because he touches the forbidden area in other people's hearts, but you won't, but you will be proud of it and proud."
"Yes." Xia Mu pursed his lips, as if he had lost interest. "Then face your fears, boy, I hope you behave well this time...... Well, be brave. β
So saying, he turned and left.
The scene then changed, from the shore of the quiet lake to the depths of the forest, and two familiar figures reappeared in front of Amacer.
"Sure enough."
His tone was flat, like a cool moonlight, calm as water.
β¦β¦
At the same time, other trialists also faced severe trials.
In front of Lucy was a figure wrapped in rotting blood, which looked like a tall male elf, but at the moment he was letting out a roar of pain.
"Lucy! Run!! β
"What are you still doing! The farther away the better! β
The grunt of the carrion eating at the flesh seemed to be amplified, and the nightmarish scene seemed to be more real with the pungent stench surrounding Lucy.
The girl watched in horror as her brother was devoured by the demonic beast, and his legs seemed to be filled with lead.
As hopeless and powerless as ever.
β¦β¦
Thorin's hands were tied with oil-soaked dragon tendons, and he had to lie motionless on the ship. The boat floated on the calm Ajoman Lake, and the mellow smell of wine and barbecue came from the shore, accompanied by a chaotic shout.
"The redbeard boy of the Hawkeye family, you still have two and a half laps, and you can't end tonight according to this posture!"
"Yes, yes, the Great Mother really understands what we are afraid of, but fortunately she cares for me."
"Hey, Hawkeye boy, if you don't finish, we'll run out of wine!"
Thorin's face flushed with anger, but his fear of the deep water kept him clinging to the cabin, not daring to act rashly.
β¦β¦
Ymir turned into a fish and struggled desperately in the water, with a strong suction vortex behind him, and he was constantly swept away by the rushing currents of mud, sand, stones, aquatic weeds, and even driftwood......
The first time he turned into a fish, he encountered such an embarrassing scene, and God knows how he escaped at that time.
β¦β¦
In front of Freya was Saru's half-mutilated body eaten by insects, with a claw-shaped emblem on his fat ass. The female druid suppressed the grief in her heart and buried her lover's body with earth......
β¦β¦
At this moment, Surya was sent from the center of the venue to the audience.
The girl opened her eyes and looked curiously at the quaint and desolate arena.
