Chapter 368, What Should I Do?
Du Lei said proudly, "This is the fruit planted by the Elves of the Eternal Forest themselves, and the elves feed on these fruits. How about a quick taste?"
As soon as I took a bite, there was a mesmerizing natural fragrance, and the whole cell was filled with the fragrance of fruit, "Hmm... It's so delicious, what if I can't eat it in the future. Peggy had been imprisoned here since last night, and had drunk some gruel one day, when she suddenly felt a little hungry, and after eating the fruit, she sucked her fingers, and said, "Have you really been to the Elves? Or are you the largest Elven tribe? Have you ever seen the legendary Tree of Life? What does the Elf Queen look like? Are the Elven men as good-looking as the legends? By the way, is the Elven Queen's mount a unicorn?" a long list of questions came out of Peggy's mouth.
Du Lei chuckled and shook her head, she is still like this, even when she is not protected, she is still so obsessed with the culture of the elves, "The tree of life is very big, covering the sky and the sun, sheltering the entire elf people, their houses are growing on trees, I have not only seen the elf queen, but also their princess Biise rescued from the human empire, the elf queen doesn't seem to have a mount, but I have seen a unicorn, pulling a cart for an old guy." β
Peggy was silent for a long time before she said, "I envy you..."
"Envy me for something, it's not like I've been caught. Du Lei suddenly whispered, "Peggy, if I have a way to take you out of the Empire of Light, will you go with me?"
Leave?Peggy looked at the ground blankly, "Peggy, Peggy, what's wrong with you?" Du Lei waited for a long time and the other party didn't speak, and asked in a low voice.
"Do you know why I like elves?" asked Peggy.
"What?" Du Lei asked strangely, why do you like elves? If it were a man who asked himself, he would definitely answer, because elves are good-looking! But when a woman asks herself, why she likes elves, it must not be just because male elves are also good-looking! Because women's thinking has a certain degree of nervousness... This was said in a magazine on Earth.
"Freedom, dreams, love. It is the precipitation of the elven race for tens of thousands of years, they guard the ideals that belong to them, they live in the undisturbed forest, and enjoy their own happiness. But human beings can't do it, weak, selfish, and afraid make people afraid to make decisions for their own ideals, because once decided, others are destined to be hurt, Du Lei, thank you. Peggy bit her lip and said with a moist look in the corners of her eyes. "If you have a way to escape, go and never come back. β
Du Lei was silent, it could be heard, she seemed to be carrying a very heavy burden, unwilling to get rid of it, hearing the slight sobbing next door, Du Lei's face was relieved and said, "What are you kidding, if I run away by myself, they will definitely blame you, don't worry, I will accompany you." It's going to be fine. β
After Du Lei finished speaking, the sobbing next door seemed to be more intense, cry, cry, silly girl, why do you have to carry so much yourself, it's better to cry. After a long time, the sobbing voice gradually faded, Peggy's eyes gradually blurred, and then fell asleep against the wall, as if because of his presence, there was an inexplicable sense of security in my heart, as if... Once upon a time, the feeling of hiding in my mother's arms...
I don't know how long it took for Peggy to wake up in a daze, looked at the windowless wall, and asked tentatively, "Are you still there?"
"Hehe, woke up?" Du Lei responded, just after hearing that there was no movement, Du Lei entered a meditative state, although because of the existence of the demon slaying prison door, and could not absorb the magic element, but he could restore his mental state and maintain his own magic power.
Peggy heard Du Lei's voice, wiped the tears that had dried up on her face, revealed a smile, and said, "You... Why are you so good to me?" This question has been bothering Peggy for a long, long time, so that she didn't dare to think about it anymore, and she didn't have a chance to ask, and now that she was locked up here, she didn't know what her fate would be, so Peggy boldly asked the doubts in her heart.
The expression on Du Lei's face was stunned, and then he smiled bitterly, "Do you know... From the first time I saw you in Karatown, or rather your eyes, to be exact, I felt that you and my sister's eyes were so similar, almost like a person. β
"Sister, do you still have a sister?" Peggy was stunned, sister, is it just like this?
Du Lei leaned against the wall and looked at the stone wall above his head and said, "Yes, she died of illness, because I had no ability to make money, I could only watch her die of illness in bed, hehe, at that time, I really thought I was useless, and her eyes were red and said to me: Brother, I want to go skiing in the Alps." I said, "Okay, when your illness is better, we will go to the ski resort where I used to go when I was a child, and you fell down and cried your nose, and finally your nose was frozen...... Peggy, you know, I didn't even have the money to buy food tomorrow, and she said okay, she wanted to play again. β
Du Lei was silent, and Peggy was silent, and after a long time, Peggy said, " When I was young, my mother died, in the family, my father married another woman, gave birth to a younger brother, they always said that I would rob my brother's family property, want me to marry, I was still young at that time, I was really afraid that one day I would be married to someone else, I could only hide in the library in the city every day to read books, in the book to understand this world that I had never gone out, when I saw a book about the art of the elves, I was deeply infatuated with everything about the elves, because they are free, they can do what they like, they are not bound by the rules of human beingsγ Later, it was the priest of the church who found me, and he said that I had a very special potential and had the opportunity to become a saint of the Illuminati Cult, so my father finally summoned me again, and even the stepmother who had always disliked me apologized to me, saying that I must become a saint for the sake of the family, so that the family can be stronger, so Uncle Bard, the paladin in the city, escorted me from the Galent Empire, through the Emma Empire, the Locke Kingdom...... The Earth Divine Kingdom has just come to the holy mountain of the Empire of Light. β
Peggy curled up, hugged her legs and buried her head in her arms, and continued, "I studied hard, and soon became the first saint they recognized, and later I learned that if I really inherited the position of the saint, I would not be able to have feelings for the rest of my life, and I would not be allowed to go down the holy mountain for the rest of my life, and I would stay alone in the holy shrine for the rest of my life. I want to leave, I don't want to stay on the holy mountain for the rest of my life, I haven't seen the sea yet, I haven't seen the elves...... But... If I run away, my family will be punished by the Holy See, what should I do?
