Chapter 25: Dia's Winter (9)

"At that time, I was the princess of the witch clan of the Swamps of Tataria, and you were the prince of the humans of the continent of Dia. As a symbol of the friendship between the two races, you and I signed a marriage contract very early. ”

"When you were just twenty years old, you came to Titalia to marry me, and by then I was already the guardian of Titaria. ”

"We lived happily together for several years, until suddenly a massive outbreak of the Black Death broke out across the continent. ”

"As you all know, we witches not only have great witchcraft abilities, but they are also very good doctors. We quickly put out the epidemic in Tytalia, so I sent many good witches to various continents to help them control the epidemic and treat the people. ”

"What I can't understand is that we witch tribes obviously have good intentions, but humans slander that the plague is spread by us! So the kings and lords of various places sent knights and soldiers everywhere to capture and hunt our witch clan, and even the humans who believe in us, sympathize with us, and help us are not spared, and even they have been affected one after another!"

"For a time, the witches scattered all over the world killed and fled, and only a few people returned to Titanya alive. ”

"When I found out what had happened, I was furious! So the following year, I led the strongest warrior of my tribe on a journey to seek an explanation for my unjustly killed people. ”

"At that time, you Quinn was already Dia's crown prince. Although you know that the witches have been wronged, and you are running around to help us explain, it will not help at all, and the kings and lords will not listen to you at all!"

"Actually, I don't understand what the kings and lords think? They are powerless in the face of the epidemic! Instead of trying to find a way to control the epidemic, they hide in the palace, for fear that they themselves will also be infected with the disease, and let the epidemic spread everywhere on the whole continent. Many of the fleeing people dragged their children and daughters to take refuge in castles or palaces, but the kings and lords ruthlessly turned them away, allowing countless poor people to die one after another!"

"Of course, they won't admit that it's their own incompetence and cowardice for what has happened! they'll try to excuse themselves, and they'll put all the blame on us witches. ”

"Actually, I started the war just to ask for an explanation! I want the kings and lords to admit that they shirked their responsibilities and blamed the witches! I want them to apologize and get justice for my dead people! I want everyone in the world to know that the witches are not murderers! But they didn't do it, and the three kingdoms of Erathia, Dia and Kalava immediately formed a coalition and fought a great war with the witches here!"

"I don't know what you thought at the time, but you actually became the commander of the human coalition and fought opposite your wife here!"

"What a battle it was...... Helena's eyes darkened.

"The warriors around me fell one after another...... It wasn't until sunset the next day that the battle was over...... The whole wilderness was littered with the corpses of the soldiers, their hands on their hands, head to head, their flesh and blood blurred, and they couldn't tell which was a human warrior and which was a witch warrior......"

"At the time of the armistice, I did not find you sitting at the negotiating table. So I ran to the battlefield, searched and searched among the piles of corpses, and finally found you......"

"You're badly wounded, and the blood on your body is almost dry, and you only have your last breath left...... I held you in my arms and cried, I didn't know what to do......"

"You whisper that you don't really want to do this, and beg me to forgive you no matter what. You know the witches are wronged, but when my army enters Dia, you must protect your people......"

"What more can I say? As long as you live, I will do whatever you want me to do! So I knelt in the grass and prayed to the gods of heaven, and even to the demons of hell......"

"The gods heard my prayers...... He flew up to me from the sky in a castle of steel, and I even saw him......"

"God said to me, Helena, go back, give him to me, and I'll let him live!"

"I say to God, please save him no matter what!"

God nodded and said I could save him, but from now on he would be my servant...... When he comes back to life, I don't know if he recognizes you!"

I said...... As long as you save him, it's ...... Even if he doesn't know me from now on...... If he really doesn't know me anymore, I beg you to let me see him once in a while, even if it's from a distance......

"And God said, poor woman, for thy piousness's sake, then I will let you meet for a short time, and I will allow you to meet once in a hundred years, and I hope that you will live long enough to wait until that moment comes!"

"I saw him wave his hand, and your body slowly flew towards the steel castle. Then the god disappeared too, and the steel castle flew up and disappeared into the sky like a meteor. ”

"I've been waiting here ever since...... Until the bones of the warriors turned to dust, until saplings began to grow where they shed their blood, until these saplings became towering trees......"

Could it be that the forest they are in turned out to be the battlefield of the past?

"And then?" Tanan broke the silence.

"Later...... Fifty years later, here you are...... Just like today, you don't know me at all, but you're no longer human, you've been reincarnated as a savage hero......"

"Then how do you still know me?"

"Your voice and appearance have not changed at all, and you are still the same as when you married me...... Helena's face flushed slightly, as if she had returned to the moment of her newlywed Yan'er.

"Of course you think I'm talking nonsense, until I tie you to a tree and strip you naked, so that he can see for himself whether the marks I spoke of are really on you!"

Tanan quietly wrapped his clothes tightly. Fortunately, he has already admitted that he has those marks on his body, otherwise wouldn't he be stripped naked by an old grandmother like he was in his previous life?

Helena seemed to read his thoughts. The witch clan's mind-reading skills are very powerful, and Tanan's subtle changes in her heart certainly can't hide from her. She sighed, "I didn't expect you to be so young then!, but in order to live longer, I had already begun to study blood magic, and I was quite beautiful......

Blood magic? Never heard of it!

"Blood magic is the use of human blood to keep oneself young forever. Since then, few people in the world have dared to set foot in my forest, except for a few fools who think they are great!" Helena laughed so hard that goosebumps came all over her body.

"By then, you were no longer called Quinn, you had a great name, the Chosen!"

Gu Shiyu almost fainted!

Brother is also called the Chosen One!

Seeing that everyone was looking at him with strange eyes, Gu Shiyu insisted on sitting firmly.

"It seems that I scared you!" Helena looked at Gu Shiyu and said, "But you are not the only Chosen One, I know that there are seven Chosen One, corresponding to the Big Dipper in the sky!"

"Yes......" Gu Shiyu looked at York: "When I was on the Island of Light, I met the goddess Gaia, the mother of the earth, and she also said that there are seven chosen ones, and so are you, York!"

"What?!" this time it was York's turn and he almost fainted!

"Could it be...... How is this possible? I can still remember vividly when I was a child! I came out of my mother's womb, not from some grave!" Tanan questioned.

"Yes, no matter who your mother is, no matter what race you belong to, you will grow up to be what you are! I have seen you go from a human to a wildling, then a dwarf to a witch tamer, then an elemental, a dwarf, a wizard, a devil, an undead...... And now you're an elven again!"

"But the elves have sharper ears......"

"Yes, but that can be changed...... Helena held out her withered hand, and Tanan tried to dodge but couldn't.

Helena pinched Tanan's pointed ears and rubbed them a few times, and a miracle happened! Tanan's pointed ears turned out to be human-like!

You can't believe your eyes!

Helena laughed and said, "With a rub of my fingers, not only the ears, but also the bones and appearance of the person will change! I can even turn a man into a woman, who would be interested in trying?"

Thank you, but you have it, we don't want to try!

If you become a woman, you can't cut off the extra things on your body? It's scary to think about!

It seems that this blood magic is really powerful, and it can actually make Helena live longer than the elves!

Helena saw everyone's thoughts. She nodded and said: "With blood magic, it does have to suck people's blood, this is dark magic that goes hand in hand with black magic, but the blood of those ordinary people is not good, not only does it not have much curative effect, but the taste is not very good." As she spoke, she looked at Shiyu and York with ill will.

Oh my God, can you stop being scary?

"Quinn, do you remember what happened to the nine scar marks on your wrist?"

"I don't know...... I had those scars when I was very young, and I don't know how I got them. ”

"Let me tell you, this is the mark of your rebirth! Every time you are reborn, you will take the initiative to cut a knife on your wrist and let me drink your blood, and I have cut it nine times so far!"

"Looks like I'm going to have to cut it again!" Tanan said with a wry smile.

"Yes, if you want me to wait for you for another hundred years!"

Helena takes Tanan to the Enchanted Spring. There are some small bowls made of white jade by the spring. Tanan took out his knife and slashed his left wrist again, blood gushing into the bowl.

Now, with this new scar, there are ten in total!

Gu Shiyu and York also accompanied Tanan to the spring and rolled up their sleeves. Tanan said movingly: "Guzi, York, this is my business, you don't need to do this!"

Gu Shiyu shook his head and said, "If our blood can make her wait for another hundred years, then why can't we? And occasionally letting some blood is still of great benefit to the body." ”

"Really?" said Tanan and York, looking at him incredulously.

Helena was so excited that her whole body fluttered. She murmured and rubbed her hands nervously.

"Helena, I hope you will give us back my son and that little girl, and my wife and I will give our ......blood if you need it."

"Then I'll get a few more small bowls!" Helena hummed a little song and floated into the mushroom hut.

"Those two children are playing with the lambs and deer in the clearing of the forest, and you can find them by following the hidden path!"

Abigail and his wife clasped their wrists and hurried into the forest.

Gabriel and Lucifer also gave their own blood.

Helena walked around several small bowls, not knowing which one to start with.

"I suggest you start with my blood and see if it doesn't taste like it used to. Tanan still hopes that none of this is true. He didn't want to be an immortal and have an ugly thousand-year-old witch as his wife.

"I've got to save your blood last...... I'll cherish it because it smells like you. By the way, I'd better drink these two young people's first!"

Everyone looked at Helena and picked up the small bowl......

"No, no!" Helena turned quickly, but her body suddenly came to the two young men, staring at them with cloudy eyes. Gabriel and Lucifer were startled and hurriedly took a step back.

"You two little dolls, how can you be the Chosen One?!

"Maybe you haven't drunk the blood of the Chosen One for a long time and have forgotten what it tastes like. Gu Shiyu flashed over and stopped the two teenagers behind him, intentionally or unintentionally.

"Impossible! Whether it's the blood of the Chosen One, I'll know as soon as I taste it! Drinking the blood of the Chosen One can make people feel infinite power!"

Helena retreated to the fountain and muttered, "It's strange that they are so young...... Did the gods have a special mission for them?"

Gu Shiyu didn't expect Gabriel and Lucifer to be the chosen ones. With the addition of the two of them, he already knew which five people were the Chosen One, but who were the remaining two?

"Can you tell me which two are the Chosen One? You said that there are seven of the Chosen One. ”

"Princess Luna of the Elemental Clan and Gru, the forest elf, both of them are also the Chosen One. Oh my God, I'm still gossiping with you, that blood is going to be cold!"

The crowd watched as she came to the fountain like a gust of wind, licked up a few small bowls like a whirlwind, and then floated back to the mushroom hut.

"Helena, you...... You've got to get us something to eat!" shouted Tanan.

"If you don't mind drinking mushroom soup, there's a little pot outside the door!"

Everyone came to the small pot that was on the fire. The water in the small pot was boiling, and from time to time some colorful mushrooms could be seen churning up and down.

Can you drink this thing? This mushroom soup looks green, I don't know how poisonous it is!

Gu Shiyu didn't understand, why did witches like to deal with mushrooms?

Tanan shook his head and said, "I'll go hunting in the forest, only witches dare to drink this thing!"

When Tanan returned with an elk, Raphael and Elmadie had already been brought back by Abigail. Raphael had a puppy in his arms, uh...... It must have been a little wolf cub, right? But Elmadi was holding a little lamb, and the two of them would not let go of anything.

The mother lamb kept barking and circled around Elmadi. Seeing that Elmadi refused to let go, the mother lamb finally got angry, knocked Elmadi into the ass and squatted, and then ran away with the lamb jumping up.

Elmadi began to cry.

"Raphael, you have to put the wolf back, or its mother will come looking for it!" Abigail warned.

At this moment, a pair of green eyes appeared from the edge of the clearing. The wolf wolf struggled to break free from Raphael's arms and fled towards the place where the eyes were.

Disappointed but stubborn, Raphael flattened his mouth, desperately trying not to let the tears fall. Abigail leaned down and comforted him with kind words.

Tanan peeled off the elk's fur in two or three strokes, then dismembered the venison and grilled it over the fire.

"Hasn't she come out yet?" Tanan glanced towards the mushroom hut.

"Nope. She was talking alone in the hut, one moment in a loud voice, as if she were arguing with someone, and the other very quietly, as if she were muttering to someone. ”

"Alas!"

"Get out, you go away! you've made my place a miasma!" came the witch's scolding from the mushroom hut.

Everyone had no choice but to choose another woodland to build a bonfire, far downwind of the mushroom hut, and the smell could not drift into the witch's nose.

The deliciousness of the barbecue venison did not bring everyone's good mood. On the contrary, everyone seemed preoccupied.

"Tanan, I didn't expect the Chosen One to be like this!" Gu Shiyu said everyone's thoughts: "Could it be that we are all immortal, and we will be reborn after we die?" But if we can't remember everything that happened in our previous life, what does that person in our previous life have to do with us now?"

"Maybe it's just physical!" Tanan said, "No wonder I always dream of this forest in my dreams." If there is a connection between this life and a past life, then there must be some kind of bond between them, just like my feelings for this forest. Do you often dream of anything special?"

Everyone shook their heads. Only Gu Shiyu said: "I often dream that I have stumbled and fallen into an abyss! I desperately grabbed upwards with both hands, but I couldn't grasp anything! There was nothing under my body, my whole body was spinning, and I didn't know when I would fall to the bottom......"

That was Gu Shiyu's last memory when he fell into this plane and plane.

"If we are the Chosen One, the gods must have important things for us to do! But what is it? God has not given us any guidance!"

"Maybe each of us has a different task...... Since there is no guidance, let's go on according to the arrangement of fate in the dark!"

Tanan, York, and Gu Shiyu all looked very hesitant, but Gabriel and Lucifer had a light in their eyes. They didn't expect that they were like these famous heroes, the glorious and holy Chosen One! But they didn't understand that this should be a very proud thing, and how could they look downcast?

"Helena said, I've been reincarnated ten times! Why hasn't my appearance changed in any way every time I've been reincarnated? Even these scars have always been with me! How is this possible?!"

"It's possible!" Gu Shiyu said with certainty: "There is a science called cloning technology, which can turn a person into many!"

"What is science, and how can it be so amazing?"

"What is science?" Gu Shiyu didn't know how to explain it. He scratched his head and said, "Let's put it this way, science is a very magical magic! It can create dozens, hundreds of you from a single hair or a drop of blood!"

A figure suddenly appeared in the darkness! As soon as everyone noticed that the flames were flashing, the man grabbed Gu Shiyu's arm.

"Do you know this kind of magic called science? Teach me!" It was a young woman of great beauty.

"Let him go!!" Tanan and York quickly drew their swords.

"Don't be nervous, I'm Helena!"

Oh my God, you've only drunk a few mouthfuls of blood, and you're suddenly a few hundred years young......er?! This blood magic is amazing!

For such a graceful wife, Tanan's mood is obviously much better. He put the sword into the sheath and said, "Don't catch him, let him talk about it!"

Helena let go of her hand and looked at Gu Shiyu with unblinking eyes. Gu Shiyu had no choice but to say: "It's a pity, I've just heard of this kind of ...... Magic, but I haven't studied it, I've heard it's very, very complicated!"

"Quinn, give me some hair! If someone can create magic like science, I'm sure I can too!" Helena looked confident.

"I believe there is a person in this world who will!" Gu Shiyu seemed to understand a little.

"Who?"

"Somla said that there is a city of steel in the far north, and the god there is called the Patronus, and it is he who has come to know the Somla Dimensional Gate and the return to the city. Helena also said that a god who drove a steel castle saved you, could they be the same person?

Tanan nodded and said, "Yes, I doubt it too! It seems that after I get done here, I need to go to the Iron Castle and figure everything out!"

"You can't go!" Helena gripped Tanan's hand tightly.

"Why? I have so many questions in my mind, it will keep me awake!" Tanan said.

"You and I have only met ten times in a thousand years!" Helena said sadly, "After every meeting, you say that you are going to the Iron City in the Far North......! Until the next hundred years come!"

"As soon as you say that, I'm going to go even more!" Tanan said resolutely, "I must find out about this matter!"

"I'll go with you!" Gu Shiyu is trying to try his luck there, to see if he can learn the dimensional gate!

"And us!" replied Gabriel and Lucifer at once.

"I'm not going!" Yorke yawned, "Isn't it foolish to know you're going to die there, but you still want to go?"

"Tanan, we're not going either. Now we just want to find a quiet place to raise our two children!" Abigail said guiltily, "I'm sorry...... Although you and your friends saved my family's lives, I still have to take on the responsibility of the family......"

"Don't say that, Abigail, I understand you, I understand you, and I hope you don't feel guilty. ”

"Abigail, there's something I want to ask you to help with!" Gu Shiyu took the opportunity to make a request.

"Guzi, you say, as long as I can do it, I will help you do it!"

"My wife, Princess Catherine, has gathered the parts of the Angel Alliance, and I would like you to forge them into Angel Sword...... Can you help me with that?"

"Of course, I'd love to!"

"Oh no!" Gu Shiyu suddenly jumped up.

"What's wrong?" everyone looked at the startled man.

Gu Shiyu suddenly remembered a very terrible thing! If there were really people in this world who could clone technology, what would he do if another Gu Shiyu was cloned? Maybe he was sleeping with Her Royal Highness Princess Catherine right now!

I hope it doesn't happen! This is terrible! But if Tanan can be cloned, why can't I Gu Shiyu? He, like me, is the Chosen One!

"Oh my God, I have to go back quickly!" Gu Shiyu shouted: "Otherwise, something troublesome may happen!"
