Chapter 17: Aya and the Elves
"Ropu, how long are we until we get to the Dragonspine Mountains," Aya asked Ropp, who was driving outside, as she sat in the comfortable carriage and looked at the obscure magic book left by the shadow.
"Soon, soon, we'll be there in half a day's journey, teacher" Ropp hurriedly responded. In this short journey, Aya has asked dozens of times, which makes Ropp feel that he is driving too slowly.
"If you don't break it, you don't stand it, you stand after you break it, I feel that the speed at which I absorb the magic elements has become faster, and the magic crystal in my body is getting thicker and thicker" Aya probed the changes in her magic power since that night.
Aya, whose magic power has recovered to its peak, is more sensitive to changes in herself, and she vaguely feels that a fourth magic crystal will appear in her sea of magic power, and in that case, she will advance from a three-star magician to a four-star magician.
The classification of magicians in this world is divided by the number of magic crystals in the sea of magic power in the magician's body, 1-9 magic crystals, just corresponding to one-star magicians, two-star magicians, three-star magicians, four-star magicians, five-star magicians, six-star magicians, seven-star magicians, eight-star legendary magicians, and nine-star holy magicians.
Magic crystals are the containers in which magic is stored in the body of a magician, and the more magic crystals there are, the better the quality can support powerful magic casting. Otherwise, it will be like Aya that night, overdraft the magic power, and finally fall into a coma, if the other party has a back hand, then Aya is already a dead person now.
The birth of the magic crystal is that the quality of the magic crystal of the magician itself is good enough, and it cannot contain the excess magic power, and the excess magic power will forge a new magic crystal, and at the same time, it will also increase the level of the magician.
Now Aya is at the moment when a new magic crystal is about to be born.
On the other side, within the territory of the Grace Empire.
Although they lost the command of the four-star mage Mo, the remaining knights were still firmly guarding the carriage, their swords in hand, glaring at Lille walking in front of them.
One of the knights' leaders rebuked: "You heretics, if you dare to intercept the goods of Grand Duke, you will all be sent to the gallows." ”
With narrowed pupils, Lille ignored the knight leader's scolding, and he increased his speed and rushed into the crowd. In front of the high-ranking knights, Lille's figure is like a ghost, he shuttles freely through the night, waving the blade in his hand, harvesting one fresh life after another.
The elf girl in the carriage listened to the fight outside, very anxious, but in this special cage, she was sealed with all her strength, and now she is like an ordinary person.
In the middle of five breaths, fourteen of the remaining fifteen knights have become corpses, and this is not a fair duel. With the level of a low-level knight, Lille, coupled with the unique concealment method of elves, dealing with these knights is completely one-sided slaughter.
Only the knight leader who was born just now to scold Lille is still alive, but he is not having a good time now.
With his arms broken shoulder to shoulder, bleeding profusely and pale, he stared at Lille in front of him with his only remaining eye, and roared madly, "Heretics, damn heretics, you should have been enslaved and trafficked, especially you bastards..."
The sound stopped abruptly, and the knight's leader's great head flew into the air, and then landed between the carriage and Lille, his eyes still full of the resentment of his life.
Liel wiped the dagger from his hand, walked to the carriage, and then stepped on it with a heavy kick, shattering his skull, red and white flying together.
A cold light flashed, the iron chain wrapped around the cage was cut off, and the elf girl inside instantly threw herself into Lil's arms, she attached great importance to cleanliness, and this time she surprisingly didn't care about the blood stains on Lille's body.
Looking at the trembling girl in his arms, Lil finally softened, "Don't be afraid, now that you are free, we will send you back to the Elven Continent."
After that, the eight people of Lille guarded the elven girl and fled as fast as possible, but the furious aura behind them was getting closer and closer, and the situation was still critical.
Forest on the edge of the Dragonspine Mountains.
Aya and Ropp, who had finally arrived at the Dragon's Back Mountains, sat around the fire, looking at the rabbit meat barbecued on the branches, and then smelling the aroma of Siyi, Ropu couldn't help but swallow his saliva.
"The teacher is worthy of being a teacher, this skill is really high," Ropp looked at Aya and complimented.
"It's always better to say than to do, take it" Aya divided half of the roasted rabbit meat to Ropp.
Looking at the wolf-gobbling Ropu, Aya shook her head, "It's good to say that you're stupid, or that you're smart, cooking is so simple, you can't always learn it, but you don't pull such a difficult magic, remember to roll the melon." ”
Luo Pu listened to Aya's complaints, gnawed on the fragrant rabbit meat, and muttered: "I will cook, but you dislike me every time I make it unpalatable, teacher, you have so many cooking processes, I am dizzy."
A twig flew over and smashed into Ropu's head, "Looks like you're full, aren't you?" said Aya as she looked at Rob who was muttering.
"No, no, teacher, I will definitely cook well with you in the future and make a meal that satisfies you, I swear" Ropu, who became more and more familiar with Aya, held up a gnawed rabbit leg and swore to the sky.
"Boom" A thunderbolt fell, frightening Ropp to jump.
"I don't even believe in God, but I haven't done anything hurtful!" said a sad Ropp looking at the sky.
"Shut up, don't you feel anything?" Aya's scolding paused Ropp's grumbling.
Ropu carefully felt the fluctuations left by the thunder just now, and exclaimed, "This is, magic, but it's a little different."
Aya looked around cautiously, "Let's go, let's go over and have a look, but be careful."
"Okay, teacher," Ropp replied as he followed Aya.
The thunderbolt landed near Aya, but the entire Dragonspine Mountain Range was so huge that it stretched from north to south across the Soga Empire to the border between the Soga Empire and the Enyi Empire. Vaughn and the others, who had entered the Dragonspine Mountains from the other end, did not feel the thunder.
After a short time, Aya and the two came to the landing point of the thunder. Looking at the scene in front of her, Aya was full of surprise, this was the first time she had seen a living elf, no longer a dull illustration in a book.
"Elf, teacher, it's an elf" Ropu, who had never seen an elf, was also excited at this time.
"Don't scream, I'm not blind," Aya stared at the unconscious elf girl.
"Uh, uh, where am I?" the elven girl, awakened by Ropp's voice, rubbed her aching head. The after-effects of ultra-long-distance transmission are not something that a young elf like her can bear.
"Hello, Elf, this is the northernmost point of the Dragonspine Mountains of the Soga Empire," Aya tried to make her tone as kind as she could.
"Human, you are human" The elf girl who endured the pain looked at Aya and Ropp, and a wave of despair and crazy emotions poured out, "Die, human, I will never trust you again, and I will never be at your mercy again, go die".
"I'm going, so unlucky, I met a crazy elf" Aya felt the crazy aura on the other side, and immediately launched a counterattack, it was not her preference to sit still and wait for death.
On the other side, the crazy elf girl mobilized her only remaining magic power to perform the destruction magic, but as soon as the magic took shape, the elf girl fainted in pain.
Looking at the elf girl who was unconscious again, Aya forcibly changed the magic ball that had flown in front of the elf girl, and an explosion appeared not far behind the elf girl.
"Teacher, what should I do?" Ropp asked Aya as he looked at the unconscious elf girl in the distance.
"What else can I do, you carry her back first," Aya said angrily.
Looking at the elf girl frowning and showing a painful expression, Aya cast a life magic to calm the elf girl's pain. She didn't know what the elf girl had gone through, but she knew from the elf girl's desperate and crazy words just now that it was another human crime.
"Can't races live in peace, why do you always feel like you're superior" Aya learned from the book about the feud between elves and humans, the grudge between the northern barbarians and humans, and the mysterious southern dark continent.
Humanity is like a layer cake surrounded by three forces. Fortunately, although the northern barbarians are descended from giants, they are divided into two races, barbarians and orcs, and are hostile to each other. In the Western Elven Continent, the split caused by the conflict of beliefs between the elves and the fallen elves, as well as the warlike dwarven clan, the three parties are divided and conflicted.
As for the mysterious Dark Continent, most people think that it is just a fabrication of wandering poets, because until now, no one has been able to confirm its existence.
Although Aya has been in this world for a short time, she still doesn't like the rules in this world. In particular, the princes and nobles who regarded themselves very highly and regarded commoners and other races as lowly creatures made her extremely disgusted.
Returning to the tent, Aya looked at the burning fire, and she suddenly missed that peaceful world a little.
Not so long ago, the distant Elven Continent.
The Elven Empress felt the peaceful scent of the forest and the warm sunshine, and a hurried voice approached.
The female elf with a longbow and a delicate face knelt on the ground and said respectfully, "Your Majesty, the holy weapon given to the [Night Light] ranger group on the human continent is passively used."
"The use of the Hallows is a sign that they are in trouble" An ethereal and pleasant voice sounded, and the Elven Empress closed her eyes, she was going to get a glimpse of the matter.
But in the next moment, her eyes opened again, and her body involuntarily took a step back. The Elven Empress's expression was solemn.
The female elves waiting below looked at the Elven Empress in disbelief, the raid of the fallen elves back then had not made the Empress so distracted, "What happened?" she thought to herself.
This snoop was different from the previous smooth, and what the Elven Empress saw in the fog of fate was a darkness, extremely rich, soul-devouring darkness.
"Have any of our people gone missing lately?" asked the Elven Empress, turning to the female elf kneeling on the ground.
The female elf thought for a moment, "There are two missing, but one of the lifestones has been broken, and only Naya Bell's lifestone remains, but her lifestone is also unstable. ”
The life stone, bound to the human soul, is a tool that can tell whether the holder is dead or not. But it is necessary to leave a wisp of soul in the lifestone from birth, pure-blood elves are scarce, so once pure-blood elves are born, they will bind lifestones, and this is the case with Naya Bell.
There are also higher-level amethyst lifestones, which can not only know if the holder is dead, but also find the holder according to the guidance of the lifestone.
"Keep an eye on Naya's situation, but don't make a noise," the Elven Empress's voice was slightly solemn.
"Yes, Your Majesty," the female elf who received the order hurriedly retreated.
The Elven Empress looked into the distance and said uneasily, "Naya, my child, what kind of existence have you touched?"
In the unknown space, a hazy shadow looked into the void somewhere.
"My lord, what's wrong?" the white-bearded old man in front of the shadow looked at the shadow and asked, if Rob was here, he would know that the old man was none other than his grandfather, Saul Grace.
"It's alright, let's keep going!" Shadow said as he looked at Thor and the other two.
【
"Let's go, Lille, if we continue like this, we will be caught up sooner or later," said the elven girl Naya as she looked at Lille.
Looking at Naya, who was already full of tears in her eyes, Lille touched her head and said, "Don't worry, you won't be caught again, I promise".
As he spoke, Dorne in the rear had already caught up, and at this time, Dorne was no longer the graceful nobleman he used to be, and his eyes were full of fire of destruction. He has already lost an apprentice with excellent talent, and if the elf girl in his hands is robbed again, it will not only be as simple as a failure of the mission for him, but a great shame in his life. He would never allow such a thing to happen, never.
"You, all of you are going to die" Dorne's indiscriminate attack fell, and Lille bore the brunt of it.
At this moment, except for Taya, who had previously shot out a tear of the goddess and lost her strength, the other six people used the power of the magic guide to form a thick shield, which was able to withstand the attack of the furious Dorne.
Looking at the people who were struggling to support her, Naya mobilized the few magic powers in her body, felt the breath of the forest, and a little green fluorescence appeared, and it didn't take long for it to gather into a behemoth. It was the Elder Tree that Naya had summoned.
The Elder Tree, guided by Naya, rushed to Dorne. Compared to the nearly twenty-meter-tall Elder Tree, Dorne seemed so small.
However, what is dismaying is that the behemoth Elder Tree only lasted five breaths under the onslaught of Dorne's furious onslaught. Completely furious, Dorne burst out of the shattered body of the Elder Tree.
Naya, who was manipulating the Elder Tree, fell to the ground with all her strength, and Lille stepped forward to help her up.
"You guys, really damn it" Dorne's mouth was bleeding, and the instant solution to the Elder Tree just now also made him pay some price. The rampaged Dorn no longer cares about the mission, and he only wants to kill everyone in sight, including the elf Naya.
"Lille, take Naya with you," Isley said with difficulty, just fending off Furious Dorne's attacks had already consumed too much of his strength.
"I'm the captain, I will never abandon you" Lille finished speaking, and looked at Naya behind him, "Naya, I can't keep my promise, you have to go back alone".
Lil put the silver bracelet on Naya's hand and opened the ultra-long-range teleportation array.
Naya looked at the silver bracelet on her hand and wanted to take it off, she knew what it was, but she was imprisoned by the teleportation array and couldn't move, and at the last moment, she saw Lille rushing towards Dorne alone.
】
The mournful voice of "no" broke the quiet morning, and Naya, who woke up, looked at Aya beside her. When she wanted to make a move, she was instantly subdued by Aya.
Looking at the resentful Naya, Aya was helpless, "We have no hatred or resentment, and you are so weak now, why bother?"
"Human, you dare to set foot in the Elven Continent, my people will come soon, let me go" Naya glared angrily at Aya who was imprisoning her.
"Stepping foot on the Elven Continent, I'm afraid you haven't woken up, Elf, this is the Dragon's Back Mountain Range at the northern end of the Soga Empire," Aya said as she looked at Naya.
As soon as Aya's voice fell, Naya struggled frantically, "Impossible, you lied to me, you must be lying to me." ”
"Then you can see for yourself!" Aya said as she let go of Naya's imprisoned hands.
Naya ran frantically outside, and Ropp, who was sitting outside making porridge, was startled.
Feeling the strange forest and not feeling the breath of any clansmen, the grieving Naya cried out "Impossible, how can this be, I should be in the Elven Continent, why".
Aya was right behind her, feeling her despair and helplessness, and Aya thought of how she felt when she first came into this world, roughly the same as Naya now.
Naya in grief fainted again, looking at Naya who was unconscious, Aya was not surprised, she was too weak, and her emotions fluctuated greatly, so it was strange not to faint.
Aya beckoned to Ropu behind her, "Carry her back."
"Oh," Ropp replied, not knowing how to pity the jade, and carried Naya back to the camp.
