Chapter 22: Blood Romance
Akasu took Mia through the forest quickly, I don't know if it was because the two of them didn't encounter any blood beasts when they arrived on the periphery. After walking for about an hour, the two sat down under a large tree and rested.
"What kind of tune did you just sing, it's quite interesting," Mia said to Akasu
"It's a minor tune from my native forest kingdom, and it's usually sung by hunters. I also went to the bazaar with a friend and learned from an old hunter," Akasu laughed as he thought of taking himself to the bazaar to buy animals for release
"Is there something on my face? Why do you make you laugh," Mia saw Akasu smile at herself, thinking she had something ridiculous stuck to her face or body
"Nothing, I thought of a friend of mine, his name is Rukes. He took me to the bazaar to learn this little tune from the old hunter, and he had a freckle on his face, and it was actually in the shape of a crescent moon, you say, funny," Akasu said with a smile
"Your hometown must be very interesting, it's enviable. Mia said with a smile
"yes, I miss my hometown a little bit. However, it will take more than two years for my cultivation to be completed before I can go home. Akasu felt a sense of loss at the thought that he didn't know if he would be able to return home alive in the kingdom of the gods.
"I'm homesick too, I miss my mom and dad, I miss my elf horses and larks," Mia cried as she wiped her tears
After entering the forest, the two of them had already taken off their masks, and at this time, Mia's crying pear blossoms brought rain, and her beautiful face with tears made Akasu look a little stunned.
"I heard the legend of the orcs that there is a blood labyrinth in this blood forest, which was built by a god back then, I don't know if we can meet it. Mia had wiped away her tears as if she had remembered something.
"I'm still going to hand you over to your uncle smoothly. What kind of blood labyrinth or something, I'm still not going to explore. Akasu said with a smile
"I'm just making you so annoying, and you want to hand me over quickly. Mia pursed her lips, a hundred unhappy.
"Haha......" Akasu didn't explain anything, just smiled, got up and walked off into the distance.
When Mia saw that Akasu had gone away, she hurriedly got up and chased after her.
After a day of stopping, the two of them came to the depths of the forest and encountered a blood beast for the first time.
This blood beast is not big, it looks like an ordinary earth dog, but the blood around it is very vicious.
After a few rounds of fighting, Akasu successfully eliminated the blood beast. It's just that Mia, who had always been timid before, was excited after seeing the blood beast die, and quickly took off a crystal-like substance from the blood beast's forehead and stuffed it into her mouth.
"What are you eating? disgusting or not, that blood beast probably hasn't taken a bath in years," Akasu quipped
"You know, it's blood crystals, a rare food for our elves. Mia said vaguely
"You like to eat, then when you meet a blood beast, I will give you the blood crystal. Akasu said
"Really, thank you so much," Mia happily hugged Akasu and kissed her on the cheek
"You've got blood on your mouth," Akasu muttered quietly
"I like that, we elves kiss each other to express affection and gratitude," Mia said disapprerovingly
"In addition to thanking and kissing, you also have to hug and kiss when you meet, you will slowly get used to it," Mia proudly said some of the elven traditions.
Along the way, after Mia's narration, Akasu also has some preliminary understanding of the elves. The earliest elves were the rulers of this world and the gods who existed side by side, and all the beasts were first beasts or demon tribes in captivity between the elves and gods. It's just that at the time of the catastrophe of heaven and earth, after the war of gods and demons, although the gods defeated the demons, they also abandoned this broken world. The Elven King died in the Great War, and many Elven masters suffered heavy casualties in this ordeal, and almost all the inheritance was severed. Because of the prophetic divination spirit power and recovery power in the bloodline, the elves became the target of all orcs for a period of time, and improved their abilities by devouring the flesh and blood of the elves. In addition, the elves had difficulty giving birth, and the elves almost disappeared in the long run.
Later, in order to survive, some elves chose to cross with orcs, and some elves made a living as diviners who predicted the future in various orc tribes. In addition to the cultivation exercises in their own elf clan, the elves left by other gods and demons have no way to cultivate, and finally those orcs accept the inheritance of gods and demons and become the masters of the lost land, and the elf clan is getting weaker and weaker and almost disappears.
"Mia, you are very brave, and I sincerely wish you the revival of the elves. Akasu was shocked to hear that Mia's dream was to lead the elves to live freely in the land again.
"Thank you, my brave knight. The great gods will bless you," Mia proudly stretched out her left hand and handed it to Akasu
Akasu took Mia's left hand and kissed it gently on the back of her hand. At this time, it was as if Mia was the great elven king, and Akasu was the brave knight beside the elven queen.
"At your service, my Majesty," replied Akasu
"Haha, you've learned a lot. Mia withdrew her left hand and smiled crimson
"The etiquette of your elves is not difficult to learn," Akasu said with a smile
"So you're the last pure-blooded elf of your elven clan?" asked Akasu as he walked
"No, there are still a lot of pure-blood elves like my uncle living in this lost land, but their descendants are no longer pure-bloods, and they don't want to re-establish the elven tribe," Mia said with a gloomy expression
"Then don't you have to marry one of these in the future in order to inherit the pure elven blood?" asked Akasu somehow.
"No, I won't! they've defiled the blood of the elves!" Mia said
"Then what if you elven bloodline can't be passed on!" Akasu asked
"In addition to the elven bloodline, which can be passed down among the elves, there is also a legend that the method of the birth of the elven ancestors, the product of the union of the gods and heaven and earth. I can find a god and his lineage. Mia said confidently
"Ah, gods, good luck then!" Akasu laughed
"You dare to laugh at me, see if I don't hit you, hum......" Mia chased after Akasu and made a fuss
The two teenagers chased and fought all the way, forgetting that danger was slowly coming.
