Chapter 211: Song of the Shadow Moon (Part I)
When the blue sky reappeared in everyone's field of vision, Chen Kai's ears sounded at the same time with the crisp sound of birdsong. In fact, they had left the Denzel Forest a day earlier, but there were still large areas of borderland outside the forest. In contrast to the dead and silent Denzel Forest, this border woodland is full of life, but there are very obvious traces of it at the junction of the Denzel Forest and the Overforest.
Between the two distinct forests is a hair-long yellow and black soil, the yellow soil is an excessive forest, and the black soil is naturally the Denzel forest. After stepping into this excessive forest, Chen Kai and the others felt a sense of relaxation in their bodies, and there was no such oppressive feeling, and the most important thing was that they were only a stone's throw away from the elves' lair, the huge elven empire, in fact, they were now stepping on the land of the elves.
It's just that at present, they are only in the most remote part of the Elven Empire, because the existence of the Denzel Forest has made the northeastern region of the Elven Empire, which should be the most prosperous, a bit depressed. The loss of the elven companion capital Teramis almost did not make the elven empire collapse as a result, if it weren't for the goddess of nature who helped the elves before falling silent, I wonder if the current elven empire has been reduced to a third-rate small country. Because at that time, the elven empire was almost in danger of splitting, and the goddess of nature came down for a period of time before falling into silence and stabilized the entire elven empire, so that even if she had been silent for a long time, many elves believed in her.
For Chen Kai, leaving the Denzel Forest was good news, and even better news was that they would soon be able to complete the task of His Excellency Nero Ailu, and when he thought of the harvest after completing the task, Chen Kai felt that his bones were a few points lighter. But even so, Chen Kai still had to take a night in the small inn in the excessive forest, compared to the scarcity of insects and ants in the Denzel forest, this forest was a little more vibrant, and Chen Kai barely slept all night, spending all the time swatting mosquitoes. Because Chen Kai was too big to have a bed that could accommodate him, he couldn't retract into a mosquito net to sleep, and fed the mosquitoes all night.
Poor Brother Kai when he showed up with a mosquito bite bag on his head. At the very least, the total amount of health was reduced by fifteen percent, and it could be said that the little vampires sucked up almost a fifth of his health, because his health continued to recover overnight.
"No wonder it was so quiet all night, it turns out that the mosquitoes have run away to you!" These were the ridiculous words that the elf adjutant said after seeing the bag on Chen Kai's body, and Chen Kai was extremely depressed and asked He Liwen for some ointment to apply. A night of scratching made Chen Kai's face look as if he had been scratched by a cat, it looked extremely red, even after applying the ointment, Chen Kai's face was still red, and for Weimars, the elf's words, Chen Kai ignored it, if he paid attention to it, it would be called depressed.
Chen Kai had seen the gossip skills of this elven lieutenant during the past few days, because Weimars originally wanted to become a bard, but after a while in a nearby principality, he became the paparazzi captain of a small lace publication. However, after less than three years of work, the elven lieutenant, who had originally wanted to become a lace newsmaker and bard, ended up going astray, and finally the prodigal son turned back and ran back home. Of course, Chen Kai estimated that he must have been unable to get along in the Elven Emperor Capital, so he had to be fled back to his hometown. But there is no doubt that even when I returned to my hometown of Weimars, some of the occupational diseases remained the same. For example, in just one night, Weimars took away the news about the triangular relationship between Chen Kai and Su Wan and Alyssa from Fei Yun's mouth, and this news quickly spread among the elves, even Nero Alu was extremely surprised by this, because Weimars added a lot of his imagery here, and of course, he was chased by the enraged Chen Kai wielding a giant sword for a full three kilometers.
Although Weimars was a ninth-order great swordsman, he still had to pick up his tail and run frantically in the face of Chen Kai in an almost berserk state, and it was very obvious that his behavior was extremely familiar and almost instinctive. As long as he is caught by the subject while spreading gossip, he will almost always do it. Of course, if it was a real battle, Weimars would never run away like this, in fact, in the battle for the defense of the village, this frivolous elven lieutenant was more reliable than anyone else, and his long sword, which looked more like an ornament than a weapon, killed at least thirty tainted people, and even strangled two demons.
In the past few days, Chen Kai and the others have become familiar with many of the elves in these elf exploration groups. And the members of these exploration groups were very happy to be able to leave the Denzel Forest so quickly and return to the Elven Empire safely. Originally, the elves of the exploration group thought that it might take a long time to leave the forest of Denzel, and even many of them thought that they might not be able to make it out of the forest alive, but in the end, these elves left the forest alive.
Of course, there are some elves who have not left the Denzel forest. There were only a dozen of these elves, they were all elven scouts and thieves, and these elves were moving faster towards Terramis with the Mana Shadow Song at the moment. Because they traveled lightly and did not have the burden of a large army, all the elves, thieves and scouts, including Mana Shadow Song, were moving forward at full speed, and it took Chen Kai and them nine days to leave Teramis, and it took less than five days for these elves to reach the edge of Teramis. I saw the huge ancient trees lying on the ground, and at the same time, I also saw three huge pyramids that had begun to take shape.
"Shadow Song, do we need to move on?" There was no doubt that there was no need to continue this step, and the vast pyramid in sight had already proved the truth of the information narrated by Nero Elu.
"Go on! We have to get enough information. Why exactly did these remnants of an ancient magical civilization return to the main substance and what was the use of the pyramids they were building now? These have to be figured out! Mana Yingge also knew that there was really no need to continue with this step of the investigation, and if she continued to move forward, her life would be in danger, and she would have unnecessary losses.
"But the most important thing is to be careful, if you really can't find the news, just give up!" In the end, Manna Shadow Song explained to the elven thieves and scouts who followed behind him, and it was really because of this sentence that these elves avoided unnecessary losses.
After the explanation, Mana Shadow Song was still not at ease, because at this moment, Terramis had completely become the territory of the ancient relics, and in less than half an hour, they saw at least three or four waves of patrols walking by. So Mana Shadow Song took one last look at the elves around her, and then tapped the two stronger elf scouts with her hands.
"Nirna, Gala! The two of you stay here to pick you up, and escort the others out if the situation isn't right! Hear the words of Mana Shadow Song. The two elves froze for a moment, but soon understood her thoughts, because the two of them were stronger, and they were also capable of saving the others in case of danger.
"That's it! Let's go! Be careful, I don't want any problems, after all, I insisted on coming here this time, and you came here to help me. If anything goes wrong with any of you, I'll be upset! The voice of Manna Shadow Song slowly poured into the ears of these elves, for them this time it was not a task that they had to perform, but at the request of Weimars, they 'took the initiative' to help Manna Shadow Song. It's just that as Mana Shadow Song herself said, she is not only a powerful elven guardian but also a natural thief, and the special shadow bloodline of the Dark Moon Elves has been perfectly inherited from her. She is extremely adept at manipulating the power of the shadows, easily hiding in the shadows and avoiding the detection of a spell by an archmage.
It's just that Mana Shadow Song still overestimated his own strength, or Yan Zhan Ng's underestimated the detection ability of these ancient relics, and almost when these elves stepped into the city of Teramis, there were already high-level golden-robed spellcasters in the middle of the city who discovered the anomaly. Although he had found no trace of Mana Shadow Song and the others, it only took some anomalies to be enough to alert the golden-robed spellcaster. Wandering through the perilous astral realm for thousands of years, these ancient remnants have a whole set of guidelines for detecting spells. Once an anomaly is detected, ten times more mana and manpower will be mobilized to detect it until it is completely safe or the danger is detected at the earliest stage.
So when Mana Shadow Song and the others appeared on the edge of Teramis, it was already doomed that their actions would be fruitless this time, and they might even have unpredictable consequences. But the elves moved towards the core of Teramis without noticing. Little did he know that there were thousands of silver-robed mages gathering there.
When Mana Shadow Song and the others unknowingly fell into the trap set by the mages of the ancient magical civilization, Chen Kai and the others had already strode towards the nearest elven village. Most of the elves ride wildebeests, unicorn-like creatures with very beautiful appearances, but they tremble like weak little ladies in front of the large Ral.
As for poor Negrim, he is now completely a captive. In fact, even if Chen Kai and the others told Negrim's identity as an elf in the past, it is estimated that no elf would believe it, after all, Negrim back then? Lorain Starry Night is known as the first beautiful man of the moon elves. That almost handsome appearance can instantly make many elf nobles throw tricks and even flowers directly at him, even if he became a knight of the queen of the falling star at that time, there were many elf girls who came to offer love. After all, the knight of the Queen of the Falling Star does not mean that she is the husband of the Queen, you must know that the husband of the Queen was still alive and well at that time.
Once the most handsome man in the Moon Elf clan, he has now become a demon. This news alone was enough to make it difficult for these elves to accept. In fact, even after a thousand years, Negrim, a handsome guy, still has many fans. It's just that most of these fans are going to some of Negrim's lace history, and Negrim himself doesn't know about these things. For example, the two or three things about the Negrim knight and the queen. Handsome Negrim's indescribable romances, etc., when Weimars took these ancient books that had been passed down for hundreds of years to Negrim for verification, he directly made the demon knight lying on the stretcher unable to move angry.
"I swear I'll screw your head off if I can move! You're slandering me! I'm going to kill you, and I kind of don't run when I get better!! Lying on the stretcher, the demon knight roared angrily, but he didn't know that his words, relayed by Weimars, immediately became evidence of his former elf identity.
"This demon actually said that everything recorded on this is false, do you believe it? I absolutely do not believe it, because the great Negrim Knight is a model for my generation, and many of his deeds are absolutely inspiring, so this demon can never be the great Negrim? Lord Lorraine Starry Night. "There is no doubt that for these lone elves, the Merry Knight Negrim is their spiritual mentor-like being, so debating with them whether or not he had a love affair with five elf ladies in the first place is completely seeking abuse on his own. In the end, even if the Demon Knight's mouth was dry, no elf believed that he was Negrim, and Chen Kai and the others all looked at the Demon Knight with admiration after secretly reading those forbidden books, but Negrim looked at the aura of worship and wanted to die headlonging.
"My reputation! Damn, if that guy were still alive I'd screw his head off! This is Negrim's greatest anger at the authors of those books. It's just that it seems that the authors of these novels circulating among the elves are all humans, and it seems that they have been for hundreds of years, and it is estimated that even the bones have turned into slag.
It's just that even if he was about to reach the elven village, Negrim's injuries had not recovered, and he could still only lie on a stretcher and be dragged by others, if it weren't for Chen Yi and Feifei Wong's proper care, many wounds on this demon knight's body would have been maggots and rotten. When the verdant tree of life was in sight, Weimars knew that they were about to arrive home, and a dozen elven elders outside the gate of Runmaran Village were looking eagerly at the returning elves, hoping that they would bring back good news.
At the same time, in the ruins of Teramis, Mana Shadow Song was panting and avoiding the pursuit of hundreds of silver-robed mages, she never expected that she was discovered by the other party before she could get close to the three pyramids, and when she retreated to join the others, she saw that everyone, including the two elven scouts who had received them, was tied to the ground and dragged away like dead dogs. As for her, she was then targeted by hundreds of spellcasters in silver robes, and if she hadn't escaped quickly, she might have been caught by now. But when she escaped, Mana Shadow Song didn't dare to kill even if she grabbed the other party's mage, because she was afraid that if she did it herself, Nirna and the others would get a very bad result.
Looking at the flickering magical light around her, Mana Shadow Song knew that she had been discovered, so she simply hid her whereabouts and began to run wild through the ruined city. One spell after another erupted behind her, but at this moment, Mana Shadow Song didn't care at all, because she found that these spells were all control or restriction spells, and their lethality was very low, which meant that those silver-robed spellcasters did not intend to kill her. Under the guidance of a voice in her heart, Mana Shadow Song miraculously escaped from the hands of hundreds of silver-robed mages, and then quickly advanced towards the building in the center of the three pyramids.
"What is this? Space Rift! "When she saw the huge magic crystal and the spatial crack that was confined to it. Ilizat, who was imprisoned in the building beneath the magic crystal, suddenly opened his eyes, and his gaze looked around extremely blankly, because a voice suddenly remembered in his ear.
The clown mask on the face of "Shadow Song~~~" was not taken off by the mages of the ancient magical civilization, and even the armor on his body was not removed. For these mages, those imprisoned in this special prison don't even want to escape. Even if the door is open, the three and a half strong people who are shackled inside don't want to escape from it.
When Shadow Song of Manna rushed into the building, the first sound that rang in her ears was the soulful murmur of the elven demon Elizat, and she would never have imagined that there were still people in this building. And also the people who are being held.
Elizat's confused eyes gradually cleared, and although he was not fully awake, it did not prevent him from spotting the Manna Shadow Song entering the room. What shocked him even more was that he suddenly felt that the other party's side face was very familiar. That cautious footsteps made him sound a certain familiar existence in an instant.
It's just that just when Mana Shadow Song thought she had touched some secret, a faint mage hand slapped down her head fiercely, and directly slapped her to the ground in an instant. The mage in the golden robe frowned and looked at this magical elf who had passed all the way, and said that he had already seen the other party, but he didn't expect that Mana Shadow Song would be able to rush all the way here from the periphery.
"Elves! This is not the place for you! Take her away! The golden-robed spellcaster looked at the unconscious Manna Shadow Song and said a word, then waved his hand to the side, and the two armoured battle mages soon came to Manna Shadow Song's side, ready to grab the elf on the ground and take her away.
When Mana Shadow Song's body was about to be caught, Chen Kai had just picked up a hot elf drink. For him now, it can be said that he is completely relaxed, and even the armor has been removed from his body, because the place where he is now is the territory of the Elven Empire, and protecting Nero Alu all the way means that they are completely safe after entering the Elven Empire.
