Chapter 165: Guardian Elves

Issadur Makusugi. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

That's what I worked so hard for - two words.

The simpler something is, the easier it is to simply represent something.

Just like the name.

Two words, as simple as ever.

But the depth of its meaning even makes me feel that it is too cheap for me to wear such a name on my head.

It was pure luck to make it through the first trial.

I was able to pass the second trial because Liu Xiao helped cheat, and Mespier spared me not to die.

The third trial is really not difficult.

Just like that, I earned a name like that.

"Isadur ......"

I silently pronounced the name.

I was excited.

It's cool.

Ellie took my hand and squeezed it slightly.

"Little ghost, don't be so excited, your heart is hot, it's so uncomfortable"

"Hey, excuse me"

I grinned at Ellie.

Ay?

That's not right.

"Ellie, did you feel my feelings just now?"

"Scare?"

Ellie suddenly reacted.

Originally, from the soul link of the two of us, the transmission of feelings was from Ellie to me, one-way.

The transmission of thoughts is from me to Elle, and it is also one-way.

But now, Ellie, who should not have felt the excitement in my heart, felt it.

The little one looked up at me and blinked twice.

A puzzled look.

โ€œ...... And then Seria-sama, please continue to purge the cavemen of the north......"

This is the throne hall of Maispil.

In the morning light, the Elven King was arranging some discordant tasks.

Let's just say that Mespier has been busy with other things in the last few days, and it turns out that it is really not peaceful.

Judging by the color of the robes, there are at least five family spirits gathered in the hall.

Among them are two large red robes, but one is embroidered with cedar trees and the other is embroidered with maple leaves.

A member of the two families of red cedar and red leaves.

They numbered half of the elves in the hall.

King Mespil assigned them tasks one by one.

There are those who are responsible for guarding the passes, those who are responsible for patrolling the interior of the Dawn Mountains, those who are responsible for going to the south to reconnoitre, and those who are responsible for clearing the north.

King Mespil even sent elves dressed in golden robes to guard the Sunrise Valley.

Liu Xiao quietly told me that these elves in golden robes were residents of the royal city of Elgonda.

In other words, in the entire Dawn Mountains, every powerful elven family is tasked with a certain degree of combat mission.

It probably has something to do with the army of cavemen we encountered when we first arrived in the elven world.

Say what's going on.

I remember that Mespil said that the Satie chieftains in the north and the cave people in the west were fighting.

Judging from the atmosphere in the hall, although it has not yet reached the point of intractability, the situation seems to be serious.

As soon as we arrived in Red Cliff City, Lord Secelia and the elves in Red Cliff City went out to fight.

Judging from this current situation, the current level of tension can be seen.

"The light of the dawn shines on us, please do your duty, let's disperse"

It seems that the combat meeting is over.

The elves scattered out of the throne hall, and like last time, only a few of us were left, and the elven king Mespil.

"By the way, Liu Xiaoqing, you come with me"

Liu Xiaoqing?

Didn't you just give me an elf name?

Mespier's attitude really makes me unhappy.

Although it is likely that he was entangled in state affairs and forgot this detail.

It's also possible that he got used to calling me by name and forgot to change his words for a while.

But...... I always felt a sense of disgust at being underestimated.

Elle took my hand and expertly climbed my arm to my shoulder.

Now my shoulder seems to have become her exclusive seat.

It was as if I was her car.

"Princess Ellie, please be polite to me."

"Less nonsense, just a psychic medium, and not surnamed Akaba, you should serve me"

Poofโ€•โ€•

Liu Xiao almost burst out laughing.

It seems that Ellie is really dissatisfied with me for not choosing Akaba's surname.

Forget it, after all, it's the name I chose, if you're bullied, you can be bullied, and it's not the first day that I was bullied by Ellie.

I took Liu Xiao's hand and followed Mespil out of the glittering throne hall.

Walk down the ladder-like stone staircase for a while.

Liu Xiao was about to complain to me when Meispil turned around and walked to a nearby palace.

Unlike other palaces, it doesn't look very conspicuous, but there are guards at the door.

Two elves dressed in golden armor, armed like the guards guarding the gate of the mountain pass, to the point where they could not see a trace of skin.

The spears in their hands were different on the tips, and a layer of glittering golden light shrouded the golden blades, which seemed to be blessed with some kind of magic.

Maispear led us into the palace as smoothly as air.

Over here...... It's all black.

Mespier clapped his hands, and suddenly a light shone on the roof full of our heads.

Like a moving light bulb, it follows us all the time.

The light it emitted was like a spotlight, illuminating only a short distance around us, and the rest of the place was still dark.

"Ellie, where is this?"

I asked in a whisper.

"Treasure Trove"

"Oh...... Huh?"

Treasury!?

In other words, there are all kinds of treasures, and there are huge rooms like underground palaces, which are full of gold...... Something like that?

I squinted my eyes hard and looked around, and in the darkness there seemed to be nothing shining.

I don't know how long I walked, but I passed through one door after another, and came to the depths of the palace.

Anyway, although this place is a treasure trove, it surprisingly doesn't have any mechanism.

There is no heavy stone gate at the entrance of the main hall, only two guards.

There is not even a door panel on the door frame inside the palace.

Mespier stopped.

We stop at ...... In front of a huge mirror.

The spotlight only illuminates our part, and there is only one mirror in the area that the eye can see.

I'm afraid it's four or five meters wide, and the height is impossible to visualize.

Because beyond the range illuminated by the light, it is not visible in the distance.

As far as you can see, it's six or seven meters high.

Treasury......

In other words, is this thing some kind of treasure?

"Relic 'Reflection of the Spirit'"

King Maispear explained to us.

"You can see the other half of an elf"

What does the other half look like?

"That is, his guardian elf"

Yes?

The similarity in the words made me feel dizzy.

"The guardian elves come from the torrent of nature, just like a shadow, the shadow left by something that existed in the torrent"

"We call them guardian spirits because they are born with us until our lives return to nature"

"In the meantime, we can not only communicate, but even borrow their energy"

"Not every elf has a guardian elf"

"Not every guardian elf resides in a powerful person"

"Not every Patron Elf is capable of fighting"

Haha, in Mespier's judging criteria, whether or not you can fight seems to be an important criterion.

"But their appearance is also far from random, and the logic and principles in it, which are part of the torrent of the world, are difficult to fully understand"

"For example, I don't have any guardian elves on me."

Maispear said, glancing at the few of us with a silvery white gaze.

"Princess Elliehana's guardian elves, the scorched earth elves, are currently the strongest guardian elves in the Dawn Mountains"

Huh?

"Ellie"

Maispear softly called out Ellie's name.

"So don't call me Ellie, call me Her Royal Highness Princess Ellie Heranna!"

Ellie was so angry that her two little hands danced wildly.

Maispear smiled helplessly.

"Her Royal Highness the Princess"

Elle pouted and glared at Mespier unhappily.

"Hmph"

With that, Elle patted me on the head and motioned for me to move forward.

I drove the little one to the mirror, and Elle reached out and touched it.

Suddenly......

A roaring flame burned in the mirror.

No, it's ...... It should be said that the world inside the mirror is burning.

The scene in the mirror is no longer a reflection of the pure darkness around us, but a field, nay, mountains and plains.

All of them were burning, and the flames were like oceans, constantly beating against the earth and mountains.

"The World After the Fire"

Maispier continued.

"This catastrophe has formed a huge entity in the torrent of the world"

"Billions of years later, its shadow still hovers in our world"

"The guardian spirit it formed, the scorched earth elf, lodges on Ellie's body"

Ooh......

It turns out that the elf in Ellie, the little guy, and such a background story, is really not to be underestimated.

"As a result, Elle has the largest reserve of mana in the entire Dawn Mountains."

"The power of the volcano of dawn can be driven at will"

I see, Ellie's huge power is the source of this.

"But the scorched earth elves have also caused a lot of inconvenience to Her Royal Highness, and the raging flames have obscured Ellie's control over the other elements."

"What's more dangerous is that the residual heat of the sky fire will gradually heat up with the accumulation of years"

"In order to save Ellie's life, we can only use the holy relic 'Sleeping Volcano' on her"

It turns out that this holy artifact that keeps Elle from the influence of any time magic is not to improve Elle's combat power, but to save her life.

Elle withdrew her hand from the mirror, and the terrifying sea of fire in the mirror disappeared all at once.

It was a piece of pure black, as if there was nothing.

"Liu Xiaoqing, no, Issadur, come on, let's see, do you have anything on your body?"

I?

I raised my hand, and although I didn't feel any panic, my whole hand was shaking.

Sure enough, I'm still full of anticipation.

The moment you reach out and touch the mirror.

The world in the mirror has changed.

Half is pure black and half pure white.

There is a clear dividing line in the middle, as if it were a box containing two pigments.

"Oh...... It turned out to be him."

Mespier seems to have an idea of what's in the mirror?

"Imagine your enemies seeing, like...... Corlius"

The moment I heard the name, my heart rippled a little.

At the same time, the black and white began to twist and spin around each other.

Form a whirlpool.

It's like-

When I first met Ellie, I almost started the elf game, and the scene was very similar.

"Imagine if Corlius attacked Liu Xiao when you weren't at home"

This assumption of Mespier touched something in my heart.

I could feel a strong anger quickly fill my heart.

The whirlpool in the mirror stood up and turned into a spindle, spinning something.

It seems to be a mixture of black and white paint, but it doesn't dissolve with each other, but it just rotates slowly.

"This is your Patron Spirit"

"My ...... Guardian Elves?"

"Another part of your soul, this elf, I know him"

"Mogory Thunderstone, the Resentful of Injustice"

Unexpectedly, my guardian elf has an elf name?

"Once a judge in the kingdom of the Old Elves"

"In the face of injustice, anger and hatred arise"

"The more anger and hatred he has, the more unjust he becomes"

"Finally beheaded by the Elven King"

Suddenly...... It's a villain!

"I didn't expect his soul to still wander the world in this form"

I hurriedly withdrew my hand.

My heart was full of panic.

I didn't expect my guardian elf to be such a guy.

Not to mention guarding, he won't curse me, will he?
