Chapter Ninety-Four: I Appeared First
The life-sharing ritual is a technique unique to the elves, and it is also a kind of compensation for the long, lonely life of these children by the lord of the jungle, Yuktrahir. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 On the earth, except for the Guardian who sleep all year round, the elves have the longest lifespan, and for thousands of years, they have stood in the jungle, quietly observing the changes of the world, and observing the growth and death of other races from generation to generation. The long life that the short-lived race dreams of is a kind of shackle in disguise for the elves, so that they can only guard the loneliness in their hearts, observe the outside world like a bystander, and dare not pay any emotion.
In the long life of the elves, as long as they reach the strength of the demigods and can activate the sharing ceremony, then they can have a chance to choose a different race as their other half, and link each other's lives together under the companion tree, sharing a long life span of two thousand years on average. For elves, holding a life-sharing ritual is a more sacred act than birth, death, and marriage, and every elf with ritual ability is extremely cautious about this. Since the birth of elves for more than 7,000 years, there have been more than 100 elves with ritual abilities, but it is estimated that no more than ten people have actually performed this ritual, which is enough to see how cautious the elves are about the life-sharing ritual.
It is precisely because of this that Pannis did not expect that Floral, as the queen of the clan, would hastily complete the ceremony that should have caused a sensation to the whole clan and even shocked the whole world in this nameless col, which was equal to or even far exceeded the queen's wedding.
"Is it hasty? hehe, why don't I think so?" Her Majesty was in a particularly good mood, and the smile on her face never faded: "Do you think the life-sharing ceremony should be so solemn?"
"Isn't it?" "Isn't it?" Pannis, like a loser, hung his head in frustration and asked, "This is a once-in-a-lifetime ritual, and it is related to half of your life, shouldn't you be cautious?"
"Don't be stupid Kyle, use your mind to think about it. Vral played with his hair lightly, shook his head and said mischievously: "I am the eighth elf in the record to hold a life-sharing ceremony, there are seven before me, but if every ceremony is really as solemn as you say, then there will never be more than three, only less, never more, I think you should know why." ”
Pannis kept his mouth shut, indeed, he knew very well why Vral said this. Elves are not idiots, unless they really love each other to the point of fanaticism, it is impossible to be willing to share their lives with each other, for elves who prefer to be calm, such deep feelings are unlikely to be one-sided, that is, both parties have entered each other's hearts. However, at this time, there will be a paradox that is difficult to ignore, because of the feelings, the elf is willing to share half of his life with the other party and spend a thousand years together, but what about the other party? If the other party really has the same feelings for the elf, will he bear to let his lover lose half of his life?
It wasn't clear how other people chose Pannis, but Pannis knew his choice. Before meeting Nelly, Pannis and Vral formed an improvised adventuring party and spent several years together. Everything should have continued in such a beautiful way, but sadly, the two found a growing affection for each other, and at this time, the huge gap in life span inevitably became an insurmountable obstacle, and there was no other solution than the life-sharing ritual. However, it is impossible for the perfect Kyle to watch a girl who loves him and likes each other equally to make such a big sacrifice for himself, and it is equally impossible for the proud Kyle to allow himself to have a long life because of the sacrifice of the other party. So, faced with this unsolvable puzzle, Kyle quits and leaves Vral to wander the world of Yara alone until he meets Nelly. On the other hand, due to the elves' indifference to the concept of time and the calm and passive nature, she did not take the necessary measures, so Her Majesty lost the best opportunity and left a deep regret since then.
It is for this reason that more than a hundred years ago in this mountain col, the two of them would sigh with a bit of bitterness that everything was different.
From his own body, it is not difficult for Pannis to deduce the thoughts of other people, if you love each other, you have to think about each other, think about each other, you will reject this ceremony, refuse the ceremony, you will leave each other, cut off this relationship, and so, the paradox arises. Therefore, the biggest obstacle to the life-sharing ritual is not the elf who made the sacrifice himself, but the other half of the beneficiary, so there is only one way to complete the ritual.
"I think I accidentally came into contact with the elves' biggest secrets, and now I'm starting to wonder, is the life sharing ritual really a gift from Yggdrasil?, or is it actually a malicious joke of hers?"
"You guessed it, hahahaha. Vral covered her mouth and smiled, she didn't seem to have laughed so happily since Kyle left, and after laughing for a long time, Her Majesty stopped laughing and gasped: "In our records, the first seven forerunners all used similar means to successfully complete the sharing ceremony. ”
"You ...... like this" Pannis couldn't find the right words to express his feelings for a long time, and finally could only press his forehead and say, "It's going to be a headache." ”
"No way, have you considered my feelings?" said Vral with a grim face, "Do you know what I regret the most?"
"Probably...... You know. Pannis, hanging his head, whispered, "Probably so." ”
"That's right, the thing I regret the most is that I didn't hold this ceremony one hundred and twenty years late, if I had the courage I have now, I will never give you the opportunity to leave my side and cut off the relationship between us, then, everything will not be the same as it is now, everything will be different. Vral suddenly said loudly: "Do you know how unwilling I am? Although I know that it is my own reason to cause this result, but when I think of her being with you every day at that time, and remembering that you have been thinking about her every day for more than a hundred years, I can't control the jealousy in my heart. ”
