Chapter 8: Return to Atlantis in the third quarter

After the wanderer left, the night fell with an overwhelming blizzard. The innkeeper closed the door early and reinforced the doors and windows with the wooden sticks he had prepared.

Even the able-bodied Terami couldn't help but feel cold, after all, the city of queens was bathed in sunlight all year round. After consulting with Evelyn, the two finally decided to stay overnight before entering Atlantis.

Evelyn is no stranger to such an environment, and when she sees Tellami rubbing her arm with her hand from time to time, she asks her boss for a blanket.

"It seems that the people of Digan are not all so hardy. Evelyn joked.

"Has Atlantis always been like this? It wasn't so cold in my memory. I think that's a bit out of the ordinary. Tellami took the blanket and draped it over his shoulders, goosebumps faintly forming on his bare arms.

"You're right. The former city of Atlantis acts like a barrier to keep out all the cold north of the snow-capped mountains in winter. Until the death of King Thorton and Princess Angelina, the city seemed to have lost its protection. Blizzard day after day, heh, but the people there still hold a grudge against Princess Angelina, believing her to be a wicked witch. But in the current situation, it's ironic. Evelyn sat with her glass in her hand, her eyes wandering as if they were in the glass.

Tyrami had heard of Queen Acklin's old stories, too, and the elf across from her, who had long been accustomed to replacing hoarse arguments with calm narration, was now smiling in the candlelight.

"So...... She has nothing to do with so-called wizards and demon minions......." Terami echoed.

The elf nodded slightly, and said sarcastically: "A magician can't be strong enough to influence the weather to decide his fate, and a light elf can't become a wizard at all." Those guys didn't even understand what a wizard was, and I could only think of them as ignorant and stupid for doing those things. As you know, since the Third Age, the most glorious race in the Eastern Continent has been the Digan people, elves...... I can't and have no intention of competing for that illusory position. ”

"What about you...... I mean, why did you choose to marry the Acklyn family back then?" Terami asked, after all, the queen who became the ruler of the Eastern Continent gained far more than most people could imagine.

Evelyn looked up at the man in front of her, who was always straightforward, sometimes calm, sometimes like a big boy. If such a question is not for seeing his clear eyes, no matter how good the temper of the person being asked, he will think of something that he should not think.

"Survival. The survival of all life in the entire Eastern Continent. Evelyn said seriously, "This is what Thorton personally described after he came to the Moonwhite Forest. The Digan lack powerful magicians, the evil of the north is already on the rise, and the Akrin family has lost the power of the dragon knights. But in other words, even if there were, it would only be a force to stop the boiling water, and it would not solve the problem in essence. The White Forest Kingdom was the most powerful elven kingdom in the Eastern Continent at that time, and King Thorton believed that the way to completely eliminate the hidden danger was to combine the powerful forces between races......"

Evelyn smiled, what she was narrating didn't even she could figure out, although the man in front of her was the ultimate mentor, he was still as immature as a child compared to the entire Primal Realm, she continued, "Maybe I've said a little too much, can you understand?"

Terami nodded repeatedly, but the message in his eyes seemed to be understood.

Evelyn smiled and waved her hand, "It's not early, maybe we should all rest early." As you know, this negotiation was not easy. ”

With that, Evelyn got up and walked up the stairs. Terami scrambled to his feet, eager to talk to her again, but he couldn't speak, so he had to give up.

King Thorton has long since passed away, and the White Forest Kingdom no longer exists. At the moment of the rise of alien races, Atlantis City is engaged in dictatorship. These topics have always been a bit unfamiliar to Terami, after all, he has only heard about too many of them, and it is still a false proposition to provide enough help to solve the problem.

Terami stared at Evelyn's back, in a daze. Although they have not known each other for a long time, it is undeniable that Evelyn's unique temperament has deeply attracted him.

"Digan people are fascinated by elves?" Terami laughed at himself, noncommittal to the idea, "She doesn't look like the elves I know well......

The Ice Lake Inn is also an old hotel, and the wooden floors in the guest rooms creak after Evelyn passes by. The smell of wood unique to the north is mixed with the smell of earth, decaying and dampness, which is difficult to detect in the bitter cold.

Evelyn removes her cloak and lights a bonfire in the fireplace. She walked over to the bed and stroked the futon. The dampness made Evelyn quickly realize how bad the weather was enveloping the area.

"Hmm...... It seems that the sun has not been seen in a long time. Evelyn sighed.

She walked to the wall, and was about to lay down her weapon, when the fire flickered unusually and she quickly turned aroundβ€”a tall figure dressed in black suddenly appeared, silently facing her.

Evelyn narrowed her eyes and looked at it, the familiar feeling was clearly not unfamiliar.

"Iseca?" Evelyn said tentatively.

The man slowly took off the hat covering his head, and with long silver hair and dark blue eyes, it was the prophet of the Di tribe.

"Long time no see, Evelyn. "Issaka Dao.

"Perhaps you should understand that it is very rude to be uninvited. Especially for the opposite sex, let alone interracial. Evelyn sneered and stood in front of the prophet, her calm exterior raising her vigilance, "Looks like you should have a complete grasp of my whereabouts." ”

Compared to the image in his memory, Iseka in front of him has obviously aged a lot. There were a slight wrinkles on the face, and the eye sockets were obviously deeper. His arms naturally drooped, his hands staggered in front of him, and he said calmly, "You know, it's not difficult for me to find someone. Evelyn, you are much more attractive than you looked back then, the first time I found you, you were still a young little one. ”

"Heh, you didn't come to me to catch up. Evelyn interrupted with a sneer, "Atlantis City must have invited you to the alliance meeting as well, there is nothing else, you can wait until then to talk." ”

Iseka smiled and shook her head, then took a step in Evelyn's direction, "No, no, no. You misunderstood, I'm here for you this time. As he went, he methodically unbuttoned his black cloak, and as the last one was undone, the heavy cloak slid to the ground, barely an arm's length between Iseka and Evelyn.

Iseka's every move has always brought Evelyn an invisible sense of oppression, but for the sake of the scene, the latter should not be the first to reveal the slightest fear. In the process, the red-haired elf did not retreat, and the hand holding the starlight sword subconsciously clenched tighter.

"Maybe you remember what I said to you all those years ago...... No matter what, you're just a woman, and you need to be protected after all. Now, you've got that kid in place......" A smile appeared on Isica's face, and the dark mist that appeared with it had somehow enveloped the entire space. He continued, "Now, you should be able to give an affirmative answer, right?"

"What?" Evelyn was skeptical of what she had heard. As a prophet of the Di people, his knowledge and thinking should have made him transcend his feelings, and the words that flowed from Issaka's mouth were as indistinguishable from black and white as the slightly stiff smile on his face.

Evelyn is alien to this feeling, a far cry from what Eren and Tyrami have shown. In her relationship with Ellen, Evelyn recognized the feeling of being as bright as the sun, the sweet and sour taste from within, if it was the so-called "love prediction", how to explain the cold sense of oppression that Iseka exuded at this moment?

"As a prophet...... You ......"

Evelyn's voice trembled slightly, and she didn't know what to say. Ithaca's pace continued to move, and the distance between them became invisible. Evelyn couldn't stand there any longer, and she subconsciously backed away as the man in front of her approached.

Ithaca's suddenly outstretched arms pressed Evelyn's shoulders accurately, and with a slight muffled sound, the elf had been firmly pressed against the wall, and the feeling of electric shock instantly spread all over her body, and after an inexplicable numbness, her hand lost strength inexplicably, and the long sword slipped from her hand to the ground.

Iseka took another step, and the only remaining distance between the two was invisible. Through the soft clothes, Evelyn could feel the other party's sturdy body and warm body temperature.

Evelynton felt shy, only the heat felt all over her body, sleepiness swept over, and even her vision became hazy. The man in front of her leaned down to her ear and whispered, "Take it easy, it's going to be a pleasant process." ”

"I ...... I don't understand...... What does it feel like......" Evelyn's breathing began to grow rapid, and she was surprised by her weak voice, but she didn't have to worry about it anymore. The only thing she could discern in her sight was the grim face, and any thoughts that had just come to her mind and then didn't know what to do.

A black mist completely enveloped the elf, her face crimson, allowing Iseka's hands to roam her body. Her body writhed involuntarily, the lines of her abdomen looming as he stripped off her thin clothes.

Iseka stared indifferently at the delirious elf in front of her, and under his control, a black mist wrapped around her hands and hung high on the wall behind her head, the delicate carcass of which was revealed to the prophet.

"Hmph, immature. It seems that my guess is correct, after being eroded by the power of the contract, the desire will be infinitely magnified. It's not certain what kind of contract power you've gained, but it's all right. ”

Iseka smiled with satisfaction, admiring her freshly caught prey like a victor. His index finger hooked slightly, and with his movements, the black mist slowly floated up to Evelyn.

After reaching a certain height, the black mist struggled but could not move a single inch. Isica's eyes narrowed, and he hooked his fingers again, as if an invisible force was competing with his power.

Iseka looked at Evelyn again, the elf visibly in a hazy state, gasping for breath and beads of sweat on her forehead.

"No, it's not you. Iseka muttered to herself, "What's holding me back?"

He drove the dark energy again, and the black mist couldn't go any further after several struggles. Under the argument between the two forces, Evelyn seems to have a tendency to wake up. Iseka immediately stopped her assault and put her finger on Evelyn's forehead.

He closed his eyes and used his mental strength to try to steal Evelyn's memories again. A fierce white light suddenly appeared in Isica's mind, and he withdrew his arm like an electric shock, his left hand clenching the trembling wrist of his right hand. The black mist dissipated, and Evelyn collapsed to the ground without support.

"Heh, it looks like you're one step ahead. Iseka sneered, "Maritia Elena...... But......" He stretched out his right hand again, and another black mist grew stronger and stronger from his palm. A newborn black mist swam up to Evelyn's abdomen, hovering and floating for a brief time and seeping into her body, a dragon totem taking shape on her lower abdomen.

"It is still unknown who killed the deer......

Iseka snorted, put on her cloak again, and opened the portal. He glanced back at Evelyn who had fallen to the ground again, and smiled evilly, "We'll see you next time...... Hahahaha......"

The black air that remained in the room gradually shrank into the portal, and as Isica's laughter waned into nothingness, the portal disappeared as if nothing had happened in the old room.
