Chapter 10: The Far Mountains
There is great strength in numbers, and this sentence is good everywhere.
When the sun sets.
Against the backdrop of the burned villages, countless new graves have been piled up on the sunny hillside, and wooden tombstones are lined up like guards, burying the town's 131 former residents.
Finally, the mutilated and unrecognizable bones are gathered together and placed on a tall pyre, where they will be reduced to ashes in a fire. This is a helpless choice, better than letting them be desecrated by the orcs first, and then buried in the wolf's mouth.
As for the mass graves, it is said that they are the method used by the lich to cultivate splicing monsters, but Faren does not have such a rule.
No one blames Erebis for these subtle mistakes, she's done well enough. Besides, the sun is about to set, and the risk of staying in the wild increases exponentially, even in large numbers, and most people want to go home early to report their safety.
The lit torch was passed and finally handed into the hands of Erebeth by an elven elder, and his eyes were focused on her.
It was a farewell ceremony, and the final step should be performed by a respectable person anyway, but everyone present decided that Erebeth was the right person to do so. In the later stages, they were secretly watching Erebeth with admiration almost all the time. Everyone knew that it would not be easy to bury more than 100 people, but under the command of Erebeth they did it!
Despite the labor of everyone present, it was natural for everyone to assume that it was the work of Erebes...... That's the charisma of leadership.
Erebes's talent is simply innate.
At this moment, even Shen Yan, who often makes trouble and is always at the center of the topic, is obscured by the light of Erebes.
However, Erebeth doesn't have that self-luminous feeling, on the contrary, the hand holding the torch weighs more than a thousand pounds! The woman gritted her teeth and held back her tears, and worked hard for a long time before she threw the torch on the pyre!
The pyre, drenched in the dwarven spirits, burned fiercely, and the loud dwarf saluted the fire with the empty flask.
……
"Let's go, go home." "We're leaving, Ms. Erebes." "If you need any help, please send me a letter." "Dwarves never fail their friends!"
……
After the fire was lit, the people who came to support took their leave. There is a powerful force of orcs operating nearby, and they are anxious to return to make sure their home is safe.
Erebes's abilities were impressive, and many of them left with the intention of inviting them to settle down—but after noticing that the elven elder had been politely waiting on the side and had the same idea, he had no choice but to give up his own ...... Who made these two sisters and brothers look like elves? It is inconspicuous in the Thunderwood Village, which usually lives together, but now this bloodline advantage is too great!
People disappeared into the twilight in twos and threes.
Someone sang the epic commemoration of the hero from far away from the depths of the forest, and the song was rough and long.
*****
They didn't know that the elven elders were all trembling with excitement at this time.
Erebeth is no more than that—although the Northlanders are very open to race, elven villages do not refuse to settle as half-elves. But there must still be a small sense of superiority...... After all, even half-elves discriminate against their own bloodlines.
And the talent or something, I really appreciate it, but the elves who have a lifespan of thousands of years don't care much.
The life span is to death, and you can always hold back some talent by holding it slowly.
Even if you can't hold it back, as long as you suffocate everyone else to death, you can automatically be promoted to a historian or a tribal elder...... The last one is a secret, no divulging!
The elven elder was so excited that he was swinging because he saw Shen Yan...... Panda! No, it's a moon elf! I've never seen a moon elf in my life! It's so rare...... In other words, this Thunderwood Village won't be an outstanding person, right? Why didn't the only two survivors, one of them be a pure-blooded moon elf, and the other a talented conductor, why hadn't they found out before?
Think about it this way...... It seems that Thunderwood Village is still a talent cemetery?
The elder immediately dismissed the idea of relocating the village.
Finally, when everyone was almost gone, the elven elder was reserved for a while, and then quietly stepped forward to invite the Erebeth sister and brother to live temporarily in the distant mountain tribe.
Erebeth looked at Shen Yan...... Although she wants to kill all those orcs with a sword now, she still has to arrange the follow-up life of her little brother first. And she really needs a fixed supply location, and it's not bad to take a break to accompany her little brother once in a while...... I heard that boys will grow crooked if they don't guide correctly at this time, and they will become perverted in women's clothing in the future...... Erebes struggled to find many reasons for herself, but she just couldn't let go.
History has already begun to change here - in the real game setting, Erebeth burns down the rest of the village! Naturally, the bodies of the villagers were also burned! Her actions terrified the entire Northlanders...... Years later, Thunderwood Town is infested with zombies! After that, Erebeth frantically hunted the orcs throughout the Neverwinter Forest until she found the true enemy and slaughtered the entire orc village, not sparing any old man, child, or woman!
Her harshness, hardness and unforgiving attitude even caught the attention of the gods of heaven - the god of justice, Tyr, came to incarnate herself and guided her to become a paladin.
But now, Erebeth has a real concern......
"My brother has a leg problem and needs someone to take care of his daily life, but I ......," Erebes said with some embarrassment. Hunting down orcs and returning blood for blood was her oath, and Erebeth couldn't give up! But the younger brother's life also needs to be taken care of, and he thinks that Yuegui obediently sits on the chair and is at her mercy...... There is still a little yearning.
"Don't worry, sister, do what you want! Your brother is not useless, I can take care of myself. Shen Yan is still very face-saving in front of outsiders, and when he said the word "sister", it was not that he had never said it to another person with the same face.
Erebeth thought he was being reckless, and touched the top of Shen Yan's head lovingly.
In fact, Shen Yan is a warlock who condenses his real name!
Even if he is paralyzed in his daily life, he can't stop him, relying on magic is enough to take care of all his physical problems, and he can do it for a short period of suspension flight. In the future, if he completely fuses the demon bloodline, he can even fly directly in the air - demons, dragons and other high-level creatures do not fly on wings!
But before Shen Yan could defend himself, he was robbed by the old elf, "No problem, this is as it should be!" My granddaughter...... I mean, the young people of our clan are hardworking, hospitable, and take care of people! The old elf almost patted his chest and promised Erebes! It's nice that something went wrong with my legs...... If he has a broken leg, he won't be able to run!
Stay and breed, I mean how good it would be to get married and have children! Marry more! There must be a few more to marry!
The old elf's face was like a chrysanthemum.
The racial discrimination of elves is not an ideological problem, but a reality, because the racial talent gap cannot be concealed! The Sun and Moon Elves are very different from ordinary Elves in terms of talent! Since the heavens let him meet the rare moon elves, in order to introduce new bloodlines to enhance the heritage of the clan, the old man can be regarded as throwing all his face into the cemetery in advance!
Shen Yan shuddered for a moment, and suddenly felt chills all over his body......
Can paralysis also reduce resistance? Well, fortunately, my physique is super high, and I can recover from paralysis of the lower limbs, which is a disease that others need to stay in bed for a lifetime, so I can recover in about 100 days of recuperation, so I am relieved to think about it.
