099 Finding the artifact
readx;?ā Leaving her homeland and never returning to her city or hometown, she roamed the borders of the forest like a ghost, using her magical powers to destroy all the demons and monsters that dared to invade the forest and any enemies who tried to invade Lejosharfa. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć Occasionally, the elves can be seen in the forest in her wedding dress, only to disappear again again. Later, the elves called her the Guardian and the Shadowwalker. ā
Although the elves eventually forgave her actions, because she sacrificed her lover's life to save Bruti and the entire forest in danger, saving countless lives. But Cesa could never forgive herself, she couldn't forget the beautiful memories she once had, and she couldn't forget the sadness of her lover's temporary moment. She isolates herself from all elves, including her family. Her whole life is destined to be spent in boundless pain. ā
Linya listened to her narration silently, as if she were listening to a magnificent and sad epic. In fact, it should have happened not so long ago. As the story deepens, Linya gradually feels like her heart is surrounded by something sad.
What should we say about Sesa, who killed her beloved? Linya felt very confused, maybe it was better to be like those elves who were secretive, maybe it would be better to not say anything and pretend not to know.
Linya crouched down and gently stroked Sesha's weather-beaten and painful face, and there seemed to be another feeling in her heart that she didn't know how to describe. She loved her lover dearly, but she also loved her home, her people, and the forest as well. But when more lives and the lives of her loved ones required her to make a choice, she chose to sacrifice the people she loved.
In fact, she herself suffered more than all the others. This is true love.
That's why she didn't hesitate to use her blood to expel the dark forces to save the forest, because she already had a heart to die, she wanted to go to another world, find her lover, and beg for his forgiveness.
"If I were German...... I think I'll understand all of that she's doing, too. If I were Devon, I would also want her to continue to live bravely and strongly. If I were Devon, I think I would wish she could live a happier life and return to her family and friends instead of torturing herself with such pain. The dead are gone, and the living should be more courageous to look forward instead of living forever in memory. Linya sighed softly.
"Yes, I really hope that this child can let go of the burden of his soul as soon as possible and stop torturing himself like this. Thank you for your understanding, Her Royal Highness Princess Linya, and thank you again. Other than that...... Actually, I have one more thing I want to ask you to help with, but this is a non-part request, I'm afraid it will be a little abrupt, I don't know if you will mind. Riley said hesitantly. "But this is too big, and I have no other choice, please forgive me. ā
"Please, Lord Magister, don't be so polite, it's my pleasure to help you. In fact, I came to the Elven Forest this time, and I also needed your help for something, and it was also a big and very excessive request...... It's nice to be able to help each other if we can. Linya said with a blushing face.
"Well, here's the thing. The person who invaded my body with the evil dark magic power was the abominable traitor Philrell Viconlia, who betrayed the Elven Kingdom of Lejosharfa and led the Dark Elves with her to establish a new Svatalfa Dark Elf Kingdom in the far west. She has always wanted to find a chance to defeat Lejosharfa and rule the entire Elven Forest. This time she poisoned the Elven Forest with the corrosive power she brought from Hell, in order to weaken the power of the Wood Elves and expand their territory eastward.
But when my soul woke up again, I had a few mental force field encounters with her. Although she forcibly seized my body, I also took the opportunity to obtain some memories in her mind through the mental force field. I discovered a great conspiracy, and Philrell had rallied some allies and was preparing to launch the most powerful attack on Lejosharfa. They have been preparing for hundreds of years for this conspiracy, and this time, the Wood Elves may really be facing an existential catastrophe!
Thankfully, I discovered another secret. It is about a former artifact of the town of Lejosharfa, a thousand years ago, that artifact suddenly and mysteriously disappeared, and the elves have never been able to find it again. And now I finally know that it was actually stolen by Philrell, the Queen of Winter at the time! She originally wanted to use the power of the artifact to overthrow the status of Queen Arundel Summer, but as a result, she forgot one thing, only the Chosen One can activate this artifact left by the wood god Harding.
So she quietly hid the artifact in a secret place. If this artifact can be recovered, it may be possible to help the Wood Elves survive this catastrophe. However, that place was forbidden by a powerful divine power, that is, the tomb of the buried wood god Hatting, and no elves could enter.
Your Royal Highness Princess Linya, the only person who can help us retrieve this artifact now is you, who have great magical powers, and there will definitely be many dangers along the way, and you may even lose your life...... I can't force you, Your Royal Highness, Princess Linya, to risk your life, I can only implore you to save my compatriots...... Otherwise, this beautiful forest, as well as countless good elves, will all die miserably......" Speaking of this, Riley was already speechless.
Her words were so sincere that Linya certainly wouldn't have the slightest doubt. If it is true that the elves are now facing a huge crisis and the danger of losing their country, then I am afraid that they will not be able to help themselves deal with vampires. But on the other hand, if you can really help them recover the lost artifact and save their country and race, with this great life-saving grace, if you have to convince them to send troops to help you wage war against the vampires, then there is a good chance, isn't it?
Risk and opportunity have always complemented each other, if you don't pay, how can there be a reward?Two choices, completely different results, but Linya made a decision quickly, with little hesitation. As for the danger to her life or something, is there still a moment of death she faces? "Okay, I'd love to help you, Lord Riley. Please tell me, what should I do?" said Linya affirmatively to Riley.
"Great, thank you very much! Your Highness Linya, on behalf of all the wood elves, I sincerely thank you! I will teleport you to the canyon outside the Tomb of the Gods, you just need to keep walking until you reach the end of the canyon, and the plain between the valleys is where the Tomb of the Gods is located. Are you ready, let's go!" Riley said happily.
After the green light of the magic portal flickered, Linya came to another place filled with mist, and she didn't know where it was. Following Riley's direction, Linya walked on the white mist road for more than ten minutes, and finally came to the valley she had spoken.
This is it. After walking for another ten minutes, a huge canyon with a mountain crack appeared in front of me, hundreds of meters wide, and a bottomless cliff below. Where the road meets the gorge, an impossibly long chain bridge spans this wide cliff and connects the two banks.
There seemed to be a group of people waiting on the bridge deck at the end of the cliff, with long pointed ears, slender figures, brown and black skin, such an obvious sign, it could be seen at a glance, it should be a group of dark elves.
Could it be that they are the Guardians of the Artifact that Riley said would be in danger of their lives?
Linya thought for a moment and prepared to spread her wings and walk around the side. After all, if you have an advantage, you have to use it, and if you can achieve your goal without fighting, then of course it is the best. However, to Linya's horror, her wings were gone! Although her wings would often hide back in her body, no matter how much she summoned them, she couldn't get out now!
What the hell are you kidding? Is it true that there is some kind of powerful and unknown magic forbidden here, as Riley said? But his wings are not condensed by magic, but living, flesh and blood limbs!
Just as he was wondering, the group of dark elves on the opposite side had already walked along the bridge. Linya looked around, and there was no other way. Since she didn't plan to run away or anything, Linya could only stand at the head of the bridge, quietly waiting for them to come closer. It is useless to run away from what is destined to be faced.
The leader is a female dark elf who can't tell her actual age, her appearance is very beautiful, but there seems to be a deep and unpredictable feeling in her eyes.
"I don't think you should have come here, Princess Linya. Throwing away your life for the sake of those dying is not worth it at all, and I don't think it's a normal choice for you. I know what you're here for, and I know what you're here for. I can tell you very clearly, Your Highness Princess Linya, those weak and cowardly wood elves will not help you, they will not provoke vampires at all, and they will not be able to start a war for you that is inexplicable to them. What's more, they can't protect themselves now!" she sneered.
Linya was taken aback by the words of the dark elf, she obviously knew her own details, and it seemed that she was not a simple guy. And she was right, how could a wood elf who was not protecting herself help herself provoke a vampire who was as powerful as the sun was rising.
"You may be right. Yes, I'm Linya Lantis Severia, but who are you, Your Excellency?"
"Philrell Viconlia, Queen Svatalfa, welcomes you, Her Royal Highness Princess Linya. We welcome our friends, because I advise Her Highness to give up those ridiculous Wood Elves. Because I am the only one who can help you in this forest, and when I unify the entire forest, my next target will be the Karam Plains in the southeast, and the Bloods will become our common enemy. So, Princess Linya, I'm sure you'd be willing to join our alliance, wouldn't you?
When the time comes, the united elven kingdom will unite with the orcs, the nomads, and your Gregorian Federation, and it will be easy to destroy the hateful vampires who feed on humans, don't you think? This proposal is very practical and operational, do you think? As for my request, it is nothing more than the area north of the Rams River north of Kalam. What do you think, fairly?", the elf played with her eloquence and persuaded her at length, as if trying to draw Linya into her camp with these words.
"Of course, as a sign of sincerity to this alliance, we want you to give up your aid to those Wood Elves and leave Cesha at our disposal. Rest assured, soon my army will flood the entire Twilight Forest, and it won't be long before Svatalfa will reunite the entire elven race!"
It turns out that this guy is the great traitor of the Elven Kingdom, the former Queen of Lejoshalfa, and the current Queen of Svatalfa, Philreel.
"Fair indeed, Your Majesty. You're not asking too much. Linya said this, thought for a moment, and continued, "But I don't know why, I always feel that I shouldn't agree to cooperate with you. ā
"Why?" asked Philrell curiously.
"Because...... I know that elves, wood elves to be exact, they are a peaceful and kind race, and I prefer to deal with them. And as for what you do, it's really hard to compliment. Isn't the forest the home of all the elves? But it's crazy and terrifying for you to want to destroy it. To be honest, even I, a foreigner, could not understand it at all.
Of course, and most importantly, I will never hand over Cesa to you, and I respect her as a kind and brave hero. I will protect her to the death, not let you hurt her. So, I'm sorry Your Majesty, for disappointing you. Linya said calmly, and at the same time, the Earth Shield and the Sword of Light between her hands were ready to attack.
There are so many enemies that it doesn't seem like a good choice to turn on taunt mode at this time. The creator god who suffered a thousand knives did not help him point his attribute to the skill of "lying", but to the skill of "taunt". However, the profession he chose was a mage!
Alas, no way. She doesn't lie, she doesn't want to lie, she just mocks, and I don't know why, in the face of an evil guy like Fairrell, the extreme disgust that arises from the bottom of her heart is like some kind of instinct, and it is impossible to hide it.
But to some surprise, Fairrell did not get angry as expected, but looked Linya up and down carefully as if she were looking at an alien, and then said, "Your Highness Princess, are you sure that you are here to find allies against the Bloodline? Are you sure that you are not here to provoke more enemies? Or are they completely right to say that you are a guy with a problem with your brain?"
Linya shrugged her shoulders self-deprecatingly and said, "I guess that's right, in fact, even I often think that I have a problem with my brain." So I think they're right. ā
