Chapter Forty-Nine: Chu He's Choice
The night was gloomy, Akasu leaned in front of the door and looked at the busy night elves in the camp from a distance, some were repairing the camp, some were treating the wounded, and the elves who had survived life and death were not in high spirits, but silently completed their work.
The place in the distance where the dark tide had appeared was now completely integrated into the night, and it was impossible to see with the naked eye, and that place might be a few years later, maybe sometime earlier, it would erupt again with infinite flying magical beasts, like an open magic box waiting to harvest people's lives at any time.
Akasu didn't know why those monsters were desperate to attack this seemingly poor anthill. According to the elves, this is not the first time this kind of behavior has happened, it used to happen once in hundreds of years, and then the interval became more and more frequent, until the last time the monster attacked was three years ago. Akasu couldn't guess whether the next Darktide would be the time of the gods and demons, but what he knew was that no matter when the next Darktide came, the Night Elves who didn't have enough formation crystals to protect them would not be able to resist the attacks of those demonic beasts at all. Those faces that are still vivid today will die like Jia'er in a few years and become a pile of loess.
Since stepping into the Vientiane world, the step-by-step experience has made Akasu have the vicissitudes and maturity that do not belong to this age. He slowly changed from an innocent teenager to an iron-blooded man. Death was no longer a fear for Akasu. It's just that the death of the enemy and even his own death is absolutely different from the casualties of friends. The former does not have too many emotional fluctuations, while the latter is unforgettable.
Akasu looked at the heavy night and thought a lot, he thought of the elf Jia'er who died in his arms, the third senior brother who died beside him, the self who died in the arms of the puppet Mo Lingxi, the Yun Ji who saved him at the cost of his life, and the familiar faces who died......
It was a sleepless night.
There is another person in the same situation as Akasu tonight, and she is Chu He. Since her familiar friends died beside her, she couldn't sleep that night, and finally after tossing and turning for a long time, she bravely opened the door and made an unexpected choice.
In the third watch at night, Chu Yun was angry by his sister's abrupt intrusion. Ten years since she took over the scepter from her dead mother at the age of thirteen and became the leader of the Night Elves, she is no longer Chu He's sister, or even herself, and has only one identity that belongs to her, that is, the leader of the Night Elves, the future queen of the Elves.
In the vast palace, Chu Yun sat quietly on the stone chair to calm the anger in his heart. And Chu He excitedly stated his request to his sister.
"That's enough! I don't think tonight's events have happened. You can step down. Chu Yun interrupted Chu He's words, not wanting to continue tonight's topic.
"No! I'm willing to take risks for the sake of the tribe!" Chu He argued without the slightest concession
"Hmph, for the future of the tribe! I think it's true that you've been hooked by that little white face. Chu Yun sneered
"You're talking nonsense! This has nothing to do with Asu!" Chu He defended
"Do you have to let me say all the ugly things?" said Chu Yun coldly, staring at his sister
"No matter what you say, I'm going!" Chu He didn't back down
"Do you think I don't know about that night? You asked Jia'er to give you the ethereal incense, do you really think no one knows?"
"I remember that you are still young and ignorant, and you are young, and I will not pursue the absurdity of your night. But you abandon the bloodline of the royal family and insist on leaving with a wandering strange man, do you think your actions are worthy of the bloodline of the elven royal family? She could only hold back her anger, and her nails plucked out the blood in her palms.
"You...... You are talking nonsense...... I didn't...... I ......" Chu He was choked for a while
After a cup of tea, Chu Yun saw that his sister still had no intention of retreating, and there was a burst of resentment in his heart.
"If you really want to leave with Akasu, I can stop you. But you swear to your dead mother that you will never fall in love with Akasu. You followed Akasu to the shrine just to find enough Formation Crystals for the Horde. If you break your promise in the future, then your soul will never be born in hell. The children you have with Akasu will be slaves for men and prostitutes for women!" Chu Yun said as he stared at his sister viciously
"I ......" Chu He was shocked by her sister's vicious curse, she never expected her sister to hate the man she liked so much.
"Okay! If I really have to rely on my sister to let me go, then today I will swear by my mother's spirit in the sky," Chu He knelt on the ground at this time, and said with tears in his eyes
"I, Chuhe, swear today by my mother's spirit in heaven. The fact that Aso and I left for the shrine this time was only for the survival of the tribe, and it was by no means a personal affair between children and daughters. I, Hatsukumo, will never fall in love with Aso in the future. If I really break my oath and fall in love with him in the future, then my soul will go to hell forever and cannot be reborn. If Aso and I had a child, the man would be a slave and the woman a prostitute. The Emperor and the Queen of Heaven are the proof!" Chu He held back and didn't let the tears flow, she really couldn't imagine why her sister treated her like this.
"Good...... Good...... You step aside, you can leave with him tomorrow" Chu Yun listened to Chu He's oath, and suddenly felt as if he had been pulled out of his soul, and his weakness was indescribable. Suddenly, she felt that everything had become so strange, everything was out of control, even her sister seemed to be her first acquaintance.
Any long night will eventually pass, and whatever happens in the long night will be washed away by the fog of the early morning.
Akasu packed his bags and left the Night Elf camp just in the early morning. He stepped out of the anthill with light steps, as if he had come here to travel with ease. He hummed a hunter's tune and saluted the patrolling guard.
Many of the patrolling elves knew this Terran boy, and they knew that this young man was fighting side by side with the warriors of his own tribe in that life-and-death battle. Many elves showed this brave human race their respect for the warrior when they saw this young man.
After a while, Akasu left the Night Clan's tribe, and as he walked out of the camp, he looked back at the huge anthill and sighed deeply.
Although he only stopped here for a short time, he knew very well that the blood he shed here and the people he met here might never be forgotten in his life.
Stepping into the dark forest, Akasu unleashed the Dark Ghost Protector like a seasoned hunter. Follow the route carefully on the map. Less than a cup of tea had been walked, and a strange vine hung Akasu upside down.
"Hehe, let your loach say goodbye!" Chu He grinned and jumped down from a giant tree
The dark ghost next to him seemed to have thought of something terrifying, and rushed back to the totem on Akasu's chest without saying anything.
"It's really unrighteous, this dark ghost was born in the Lost Land, but it is not as good as when it was only instinctive to fight. At least at that time, he wouldn't have run away so unjustly. Akasu couldn't help but mutter
"I said Miss Chu He, I left with the approval of your leader. You shouldn't have attacked me like that!" Akasu said helplessly as he looked at the night elf who was grinning at him.
"When I say goodbye, I don't mean goodbye to the leader, I mean that you didn't say goodbye to me!" Chu He said seriously
"Ah......h
"Okay, okay, you win...... Now it's good for me to say goodbye to you. Miss Chuhe, the green mountains often flow in the green water, let's say goodbye, there will be a period later. "Akasu was hung upside down on a ghost vine, his hands clenched into fists, which looked very funny.
"It's too late! It's too late for you to resign now, Miss Ben doesn't agree!" Chu He said with a smile on his face
Looking at Chu He's smile, Akasu only felt that something was wrong.
