Chapter Seventy-Eight: The Lost Moonlight XIV
Tina had never met Izu, the Lord of the Waters, and she never imagined that she would be like that when she first saw the legendary Divine Mansion.
She was locked in a boxy, water-filled square, naked, her limbs bound by lake-blue bands.
The blue-haired man stood right behind her, stretching out his hand and roaming over her like a delicate sculpture, caressing every inch of his skin.
Then her body was torn apart, as if her soul had been pierced. The cold power penetrated into the blood, drilled out of the pores, and converged to the back, as if it had condensed into a mark, and every stroke was painful and piercing the bones.
Humiliation and remorse enveloped her, but soon they were replaced by endless pain.
She was like a small boat adrift in a sea of pain, tossed into the sky by the stormy waves, and swept to the bottom of the sea. The sea was bitterly cold, and the suffocating ordeal overwhelmed her.
She didn't know how long it had been until she felt as if her muscles had melted into the water. At this moment, barrels of magma-like liquid were poured in, and the blue liquid turned red, and the cold was driven away by the scorching heat, turning from the cold that seemed to freeze time to the heat that melted everything.
She was like being in boiling water, and her flesh was brushed away alive with a brush.
Then there was the cold water of the lake......
Cycle.
She couldn't struggle, fainted again and again because of the pain, and was awakened again and again by the pain, until her soul seemed to be numb.
When she was finally released, she became such a half-human, half-dragon monster.
Those people before, the patriarch of Sengil, the patriarch of Memeon...... They all crouched at her feet, looking at her like gods.
She also felt an unparalleled power in her body.
And in her head, a voice reminded her all the time:
You are the most devout believer in the Lord of the Waters.
You will lead the Children of the Night to become the lord of Lokan.
Until then, she had never doubted her devotion to the Lord of the Streams.
After that, she no longer had the ability to doubt.
β¦β¦
Amacer looked at the hysterical Tina in front of her, but calmed down.
He remembered what Mu Yan had said, the joys and sorrows of human beings are not the same.
He said that people are subjective, and the most empathetic is always themselves, so they are often trapped in their own world and can't get out.
Therefore, people are often the most likely to be moved and convince themselves, and some excessive interpretation and brain supplementation often make them lose their rationality, self-criticism, and self-cognition.
Maybe that's the case now.
He didn't know what Tina had been through, but he knew one thing that he could have a clear conscience during the process.
He will not feel pity either, because he knows very well that the real innocent is Idriel, who has lost his father and is still kept in the dark, and is Mr. Glazer, who has lost his lover and was persecuted by the gods and reduced to slavery in Heru.
But not the elf in front of you.
"Miss Tina, please lift your head."
Tina looked at him in disbelief, and in her memory, Amather had never spoken to her like that.
"In the year 469 of the new moon, on the night when the golden moon overshadowed the dark moon, where were you?" Amacer asked.
The corners of Tina's mouth curled, as if sarcastically, "Heh, why should I answer you?" Maybe you're on your knees againβ"
"Back! Answer! I! β
Her words were interrupted as a flood of silver light enveloped her, and Tina could even feel a biting chill on her neck.
In front of him were Amacer's calm eyes, bottomless, as silent as death.
She stared at these eyes, and felt inexplicably sad, as if something most beloved had left her forever and could no longer hold on.
She felt herself fall from the edge of the cliff, she was falling, the cold wind was howling in her ears, the hot lava was beneath her, and she could feel the heat behind her licking her skin.
She held out her hand, but the elf standing on the edge of the cliff looked at her indifferently.
Then she fell into a rage.
"Why do you still remember her!!"
Tina's claws gripped the tip of the sword, and even though it was plated with silver sword aura, the latter was curled up like a toy.
"Why haven't you forgotten her? Why is it her who opens and closes her mouth!
"She is not worthy of your love, you love her even more than yourself, you even forget yourself!
"She doesn't love you at all! She's a selfish ghost, she's tempting you to death, she's hurting you!
"And I'm different...... I'm not as selfish as her, I won't let you forget yourself, Amacer, I'll make you cherish yourself, I'm the one who really loves you, I'm the ......"
Tina's sanity was fading, and she flailed her claws desperately, trying to hold the elf in front of her in her arms.
The cold claw wind shattered Amacer's long sword again and again, and if he hadn't been in the silver realm, he might have to run away.
But at this time, how could he retreat?
"You're wrong, Tina."
Amatho's voice remained steady.
"We love each other, I love her more than myself, she occupies my whole heart."
"Enough...... That's enough!! β
"But equally, she loves me more than she loves herself." Amacer jumped back with the strength of the other party, opened the distance, and covered his chest with one hand: "We never doubt each other about this. β
"Ahhh
Tina was completely in a frenzy, and like an enraged bobcat, she rushed at Amacer with her paws.
β¦β¦
Mu Yan shook his head frequently as he watched from the side.
This woman is terrible...... Fortunately, this is not the case with Surya.
"Hey!"
A hand slapped on his shoulder, and our scholar was scared half to death. Because he was worried that the perception network would interfere with Amacer's domain, he took it back, but he didn't expect to be attacked by someone.
He turned around angrily and reached out to pinch Surya's face.
"What are you doing all of a sudden?"
"Mmmmmm Sullya's words were slurred, and he slapped his mischievous hand away, rubbing his face and pointing at Eliel, who was watching in the corner.
"This man is here too, and he's taken another elf from Ricky, and Mr. Glazer asked me to tell you. Shall we ......" The girl glanced at Eliel and made a vicious gesture.
Mu Yan suddenly couldn't cry or laugh, and patted her lightly on the head.
"Ugh!"
"What do you think, Mr. Elliel is just worried about Amacer, he cares about the safety of every elf."
"What about the woman?" Surya poked her finger secretly.
"You say Sengil? Tsk, I know with my feet, it's his old ......."
"Old what?"
"Old classmate, right?"
"Old lovers, right, hey!"
β¦β¦
Eliel, who was teased by the two, was watching quietly at the moment, and Sengil, who was standing next to him, had woken up, and her eyes seemed to be nailed to Eliel.
"People from the Night Whispering Family...... Has it always been so stubborn? Eliel muttered, he didn't look back, but he knew that Sengil was watching him.
"It doesn't mean anything about which family you belong to, so will the people of the Morrowind family be rigid? Not necessarily. We've had bobtails like Idriel, and I even think that little girl from Aethra is more in line with your aesthetic. β
"No, you're more in line with my aesthetic." Eliel smiled.
From this angle, the elf has a perfect side face, and Xian Gil actually looks a little fascinated.
She seemed to recall that she had looked at him in the moonlight like this, and then the two of them came together.
"Are you going to kill me?" She asked suddenly.
Eliel's expression froze, but he quickly returned to normal, and he deliberately diverted the subject.
"If I'm not mistaken...... In the year 304 of the new moon (546 of the faith calendar), the human pretender who was captured by you, has he returned? β
Sengil shuddered as she remembered what Glazer had said in her ear.
"Yes, he's back."
"So what happened back then? I mean the night of the new moon year 469, and I remember that since then, Amatho has become abnormal. Eliel said softly, looking at the resolute-eyed elf in front of him, remembering how depressed he was back then.
"And since then, Idril has also disappeared, but not long after that, I heard that there is a famous rainbow mage in Jialan, named Lina Imbas......"
Sengil was not surprised by this, but continued to talk eloquently: "That's right, Idril went to Jialan, and Lina is her. The current Jialan is no longer the mage holy land you imagined, the light of the elemental lord is sprinkled all over the floating city, and no one can avoid it. You have no future, give up, Eliel. β
"Really...... What about the previous question? β
"Quite simply, in the year 469 of the New Moon, on the night of the golden darkness, the Lord of the Waters, sent Glazer and me to put on a good show, and he killed his own daughter in front of Amacer, who was actually pretending to be Tina."
The corners of Sengil's mouth twitched at the corners of his mouth, "Of course, that Glazer is not really human, just a powerful spirit servant. Interestingly, though, my original mission was as simple as 'sending Idril to Falan City', and it was all because of Tina that kid almost broke down.
"Even she didn't realize that the so-called 'nobility' she insisted on was just a cloak of hatred and jealousy, and she hated and envied Idriel as a half-elf, and her obsession with Amatho almost ruined him. Originally, Glazer appeared just to take Ellie away, but her insistence made Elly's departure smell bloody, which she didn't even know about. β
Cingil twisted his fingers, untied his tangled hair, and sighed:
But who would have thought that the fates of these two people would be repeatedly entangled. It was as if it had been foreseen by the Lord of the Waters, who allowed the farce to take place and create the situation today. Everything you see is God's will. β
Eliel shook his head slightly, as if expressing doubts and denials.
"Actually, that's not what you think......"
Centir's body trembled, and his mouth opened and closed several times, but finally he didn't speak.
Eliel stared at her as if he were looking straight into her heart.
"I know you better than anyone else...... If you still insist on that, there will be no such thing. The reason why you are so calm is because you have given up resistance...... Why? Why give up all of a sudden? Do you know what's coming? β
Sengil lowered his head, not letting the other party see the corners of his mouth that he couldn't help but raise.
I know you better than anyone else......
It seems that enough to hear this sentence.
When she looked up again, she had returned to normal, looking haughty and indifferent.
"I refuse to answer."
As Elliel said, when she insists on something, she doesn't dwell on a word.
"But ......"
He wanted to ask something, and that's when the situation on the field changed.
β¦β¦
Despite Tina's invulnerability and constant attacks, she lost her mind and had no way to do it.
Amatho was much better off in contrast to the sinking Amacer, who gradually got used to the rhythm of his opponents and the defence after an initial stretch.
He usually fights with Silio or Suria, and the crow's swordsmanship as the main defense is naturally proficient.
Tina's attack couldn't last long, and just as she showed a hint of fatigue, Amacer's counterattack began.
The tip of the elf's sword pierced into the crack in the scales and slashed lightly, taking with it a string of magma-like beads of blood and a few scales.
"Ahhh
Tina screamed in pain, her eyes glowing with bloodlust, and she struck again with her claws.
Undisturbed, Amacer struck Tina in the neck through the gap between her claws.
But the elf deflected the tip of the sword at the last minute, leaving a terrible wound in her neck instead of piercing.
Tina seemed to regain some of her senses as she clutched her neck and took a few steps back in shock.
"You...... You're going to kill me? I love you so much that you're going to kill me for that bobtail deer!? β
"Don't insult her!"
Amacer said angrily, and this time the sword was aimed at Tina's heart.
Forgiveness is the noblest revenge, but there is no need to be noble for the vile.
The long sword passed through his body, splashing a pool of bright red blood.
Tina looked at him in a daze, she reached out and tried to grab something, but in the end it hung down.
The last glimmer of elf light in her eyes slowly faded, and she closed her eyes slightly, and when she opened them again, they turned into pure aqua blue.
The blue runes behind her rose and turned into bands around her.
A trace of divine majesty swung around her, and everyone present had the urge to kneel and worship, and even the dragon in the center of the square stood up uneasily, flicking its tail.
