Chapter 5: Melgi's Song
An empty shell that carries ideas. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
All her life, she wondered when she would be free, when she would be able to leave this empty shell body.
Now, she thought, it should be soon.
The monsters rained down on the besieged adventurers, and Elizabeth unfurled the barrier to block them. But the barrier has already cracked, and at most it can only support one more round of ten thousand arrows.
Everyone understood this, and the mages gave Elizabeth a reassuring look, and then continued to concentrate on drawing the magic circle.
Wood deftly dodged the arrows, and the moment he left the light, he disappeared into the darkness.
Having lost the demon's place in an instant, the beast with its huge mouth wide open roared, telling the boys to hurry up and move closer to him.
But before he could fully shout, the dagger had already appeared in front of him. He was also quick to react, stopping yelling and spewing dead air out of his mouth.
Get out of the netherworld for me, damn human demon! But before he could finish thinking about it, he saw a golden barrier unfolded in front of this demon, divine attribute!
The barrier evaporated with death, and the dagger pierced through the night and into his chest.
Boom!
A large hole was immediately blown open in his chest, and normally he would not feel pain, but now he was yelling in pain, because the demon's dagger actually carried divine power!
Damn, is this a demon or a special birdman?
He let out an angry roar, and some of the soldiers continued to shoot in place to put pressure on the humans, while others began to push forward.
Quick and quick, this group of humans doesn't feel very good about him.
Wood swung his dagger, flung the disgusting thing to the ground, and continued to dive into the night.
He observed, the wound of the divine attribute that the giant beast could not be repaired, although this thing has no soul, but as long as there is a way to kill it, it will be easy for the assassin!
Elizabeth had been blessing him with divine powers, and he felt a little uncomfortable, but he knew that the tired, sweaty girl should be even more uncomfortable.
Silent, as if he had also become a dead thing, he walked into the tide of monsters. It's just that he's going in the opposite direction.
His heart beat and his breathing stopped briefly, and he was in front of the beast again. The beast was visibly much more intelligent than his soldiers, and raised its hand to grasp the seemingly empty darkness.
The darkness rippled, and the dagger with both divine and murderous aura reappeared, accompanied by black flames.
The black flame swooped down on the rancid giant hand, and then Wood stepped forward and stabbed the dagger again!
Give me back my pretty elven queen!
The dagger plunged into the flesh that didn't feel anything, but instead of being happy, Wood pouted. For the beast grabbed its own soldier and blocked the blow.
When a sneak attack failed, the Assassin, knowing that he had little chance of winning a head-on battle, quickly retreated and dived into the darkness to prepare for his next attack.
"When I call you, you will instill in me the Holy Power. β
"Okay, bastard master. β
Wood watched quietly as his companions were being besieged, and Jos, as a half-assassin, was also comfortable in the dark, appearing from time to time to harvest a monster.
It's just that the monsters he kills will be reborn, and the current Elizabeth doesn't have the strength to give others divine power.
But in addition to light, true blazing flames can also consume monsters' bodies. So, mages who know this are ready to be the center of attention!
Klaus raised his staff, and a large fiery red magic array suddenly appeared under the black sky, and the blazing aura made the ground warm up a lot.
At the moment when the divine barrier that enveloped them shattered, Klaus let out a loud shout, and then the staff slammed into the ground, not very loud but terrifying.
The monsters feel terrifying.
The Great Magic Array split into four in an instant, and all four of them began to shoot arrows. Overwhelming, with the belief of lighting up the darkness and burning death!
A small monster flapping its wings and running away was pierced by an arrow, and before it could scream, the arrow exploded, and the flames engulfed his body.
This is the real one-thousand-arrow, have you monsters who desecrate corpses learned?, Klaus's laughter was narcissistic.
He felt that even if the witch appeared, it would be at this level.
Flaming arrows remove the darkness and hunt monsters, and the situation on the battlefield has changed.
The elf pulled all the hair that blocked the view back, and then reached out of the birdcage, feeling the hot breath passing by it, and couldn't help but smile.
Actually, their nature spirits don't like fire very much, but now, she loves it very much.
Slowly, she withdrew her hand, lifted her lips lightly, and began to sing Melgi's song.
Dedicated to the warriors.
The singing is like a light, dispelling the haze in the hearts of the soldiers, and also making their blood boil.
The arrows were still firing wildly, and Catherine also raised her staff, and the moment she opened her eyes, the dark blue ** circle spread out above her head.
The golden pupils were as calm as the River Styx at this time, calm and terrifying. She has always walked with death, so no one hates this power of desecration of death more than her!
Arrows rained down from the sky, and the Pillar of Stygian Flame shot straight into the sky, brushing past the four magic circles that were shooting arrows, and finally smashed into the darkness that covered the sky!
Darkness poured into the clouds of dead air, and after a brief silence, some strange explosions rang out. Then, in addition to the darkness and flame magic array, the sky also had some more raging death-threatening flames.
Quietly fighting the dead, devouring and being devoured, disappearing and becoming stronger, Catherine will choose the outcome she wants!
The beast roared, he didn't have the heart to guard against that weird assassin anymore, he was going to get rid of this weirder magician!
If the dead air disappears, if the sun blows through their bodies...... He didn't dare to imagine.
When they wake up, this forest of elves will be shrouded in darkness, and it can only exist in darkness!
With one claw, he lined up the human warriors in front of him, but the humans were laughing, and he didn't have time to think about why he was laughing.
The angel attacked with a long sword, and he exhaled a dead breath that made the angel take time to eliminate it, taking advantage of this gap to continue to penetrate into the human race.
The shadow wrapped around his body, and he roared, the darkness pulling the shadow back.
Continuing to speed forward, he finally came to the witch. The witch turned her head to look at him, not a trace of fear or panic, but said with a look of indifference:
Are you here to die?
Whew!
Two divine sword lights pierced the darkness, and his arms separated from his body. Then, at some point, the human demon was already standing on his back, raising his dagger.
He turned his head and watched as the dagger stabbed into his skull, and then the divine power turned into a bomb, blowing his head to pieces.
An angel, a holy knight, and a human demon who wields divine power.
What a strange team, but strong. So he decided to run away, he only had to leave any part of his body behind and be reborn!
His soldiers thought the same thing, and all the clever ghosts who had been lucky enough to leave a trace of residue behind began to squirm in disgust, trying to escape from this forest of elves without a forest.
Connie's mouth curled slightly, and she smiled less, but she always felt that it was great to be able to prove her worth on this team.
The Elven Forest regrows trees, and the trees and meadows stretch out their "hands" to bind up the disgusting residue.
In the birdcage, the elf had just finished singing a song and she was laughing at the sight of this false but beautiful forest.
Laughed more today than she did in her entire life. The song she sings today can finally stop testing people's hearts.
Then let's have another song, a song that belongs to Melgi, a song that belongs to this forest.
The song just now makes people's blood boil, but the current one makes people feel sad and gratified.
The singing seeped into the depths of Catherine's heart, and her expression became more determined by the emotion in the song.
There was a strange explosion in the sky, but as the slow and beautiful song came to an end, the explosion finally stopped, and the sky was only blue.
This is also the power that comes from death, but the difference is that the underworld has always respected death.
The magic circle slowly disappeared, and the flames melted into the air, and they returned to the netherworld after completing their mission.
Wood looked up, letting the sun shine across his face. He had always felt that it was night, but now he knew he was wrong.
He had seen countless mornings, and he had seen countless kinds of morning sunrise, but never had he ever felt so beautiful as he did now.
He embraced the sun with open arms, not as excited as he imagined, but calm. As a new song sounded in his ears, he became a little tempted to lie on the lawn and fall asleep in the sun.
As for the monsters? He didn't want to look at those disgusting things, he was enjoying everything in front of him and in his ears right now.
The original Elven Forest must be even more beautiful than it is now.
If the elves had known what Wood was thinking, they would have replied "yes" and added, "You are always welcome in the Elven Forest".
The darkness over the Tree of Life is gone, and no darkness will dare to envelop the place again, for the Mergi Crown has awakened and begun to summon her.
She understood that the moment had finally come, and she finished singing the last song.
The song disappeared along with the woods, the birdcage began to shake, and she struggled to her feet.
Elizabeth took out the crown of flowers and plants, and then heard a sound in her ear, albeit a staccato but incomparably clear.
"This is Mei ...... Melgi's Crown. β
She looked up and saw that the elf was already on her feet, still smiling at the adventurers. But now she was about to fall, her shell-like body couldn't move forward, and she was struggling.
Wood turned around, and he quickly spread his wings and flew to the birdcage.
He opened the door and put his hand into the birdcage with a gesture of friendliness.
The elf hesitated for a moment, then put his hand on the big hand, and let it lead him to the door.
Elizabeth took the crown and went under the birdcage, she didn't know how she knew the elf's thoughts, maybe it was the song and the message of the eyes.
The crown rested on the ground, and she glanced at the elf standing high in the air again, and then quietly left.
"Thank you," the elf said to Wood with a smile, "you will always be friends with Melgie." β
Wood nodded slightly, then quietly let go of his hand and stopped by the birdcage, quietly waiting for what was to come.
Could something miracle happen?" he thought, and then the elf seemed to see through his mind and nodded at him.
Yes, thank you for bringing the miracle that belongs to Melgi, to the city of Angel.
She leaned forward, her wings flapping but not taking off. It's a pity that she still wants to fly freely once in the end.
But forget it, the last scene that belongs to her is beautiful enough.
The elves fell slowly like leaves, and the crown on the ground ...... Melgi's crown emitted an incomparably strong green light, as if welcoming the arrival of the elves.
She hugged herself tightly, opened her eyes and let her cheeks soak up the sun without reservation, and then lay quietly into Melgi's arms.
The sun was covered with green light, and she seemed to have returned to the forest, the days when the people sang happily together.
Although it was only a momentary illusion, it was enough for her.
In this light, she saw the queen walking slowly, and then her body was also full of strength, and she got up and trotted towards the queen.
The Queen hugged her, stroked her little head, and smiled and whispered something in her ear.
She couldn't hear what was said, but she felt that the embrace was very warm, and she felt a little tired without regrets, and she wanted to sleep.
Bye-bye, adventurer. I hope that when we meet again in the future, you will like the real us.
When the time comes, we will sing for you again.
I don't know how long it took, but when Wood opened his eyes again, the sun was still warm, but the elves and Melgi's crown had disappeared together.
Now only a small sapling remains.
This is true life, representing the future and hope.
Wood thought for a moment, smiled and fell to the ground to lie down beside the sapling, closing his eyes and resting quietly.
Lucy wants to sleep with her father, but after taking two steps, she suddenly feels that something is wrong. Some cuties reached out to make sure their hearts were still beating.
Then she thought about it, and leaned down on the ground with her little head and her ears to the ground.
The crowd noticed Lucy's anomaly and leaned down as well......
Knock knock knock......
Is this, the sound of a heartbeat?
This tree has actually been resurrected......! It's just been asleep, it's just waiting for the moment to wake up?
The crowd burst out laughing. Because the feeling of doing good deeds is really good.
Catherine also rarely smiled, and at the same time looked at the medal in her hand, after dispelling that piece of dead air, she had been promoted to the master level.
Putting away the medal, she walked briskly over to Wood. Then he naturally lay down, turned around and looked at the side face in the sun, a little stupid.
Is the master asleep? Do you want to sneak attack? Do you want to?
Excitedly sat up, then reached out and stroked the owner's cheek. Stroking back and forth, her face flushed and her expression obsessed.
Leaning down again, her and her master's faces became very close, so close that they could touch each other with a slight movement.
She licked her lips and finally chose to kiss her on the cheek.
Although she thinks kissing is nothing, it ...... However, she still wants the first kiss to take place when the owner is sober!
Well, that's whatever!
"What are you doing!?"
She knew who was disturbing the good things just by listening to the voice, and she didn't pay any attention, just lay down next to Wood and fell asleep slowly.
Elizabeth felt like she was about to explode, tried to calm down, and then walked to the other side.
Forget it, if you eat the vinegar of this bastard master, I'm afraid I can only live in the vinegar jar for the rest of my life.
"Drink some water and put out the fire in your heart. Connie came to Elizabeth's side just in time.
Elizabeth took the kettle, thanked her, and began to pour it into her mouth.
It is as if this water is used as a wine to relieve sorrows.
"I can't get drunk with this water. Connie sat down with a smile and looked quietly at the puffed little girl.
"I know. Elizabeth touched her little belly, then handed the kettle back to Connie, "But thank you." β
"Little things. Connie took the kettle, "I watch you be jealous every day, and after being an audience for so long, you should pay for some viewing." β
"Are you jealous? I don't think we're that obvious. Elizabeth looked down, not knowing what her expression was.
"You're not obvious, but the witch is obvious. And Her Royal Highness Sisna, as the main palace, will not bother with you. Connie looked like an experienced man.
"Can I ask about your previous relationship?"
"Just ask. But I'll correct one thing, it was my first relationship, and it will be my last. Connie smiled beautifully.
But Elizabeth knew that behind the smile was a sadness she could not imagine.
Perhaps for countless nights, this big girl hid under the covers, thinking about her deceased lover who couldn't sleep all night and shed dry tears.
"If you really love someone, you will be jealous of him, you will be angry because of him, and you will think a lot of inexplicable things because of him. Is this normal?"
"If you don't think so, it's not normal. Connie took a sip of water, a mixed smile.
"You know, I used to be my man's little maid, the kind that was inconspicuous and could go to the cemetery at the age of twenty.
If they are willing to buy me a grave.
But how to say it, the love between Cinderella and the eldest young master. One day, the eldest young master suddenly grabbed my hand and forcibly pressed me to the bed......
He was drunk, and now that I think about my first time, I want to grab him from the ground and slap him hard.
Then I would say to him, 'Bastard, let's have a baby.'" I'm going to cry while talking, but that's obviously impossible, so please don't pay attention to my fantasies.
We have a lot of regrets, we make a lot of mistakes when we are naΓ―ve, we are noisy, we lose our temper regardless of the other person's mood, we let our instinctive impulses to expose each other's scars because we are angry, and we leave a scar on ourselves after our mood is calm......
It's been bumping and bumping forward.
There have been so many mistakes in our love, and the only thing that is right is that we really love each other, and we love each other very deeply.
We are maturing, we want to have a baby, and we are working for a better future.
But the world is so cruel that I want to curse it now. I want to tell the world, go to the special bullshit heroism, you woman doesn't need to be saved by your stinky man!"
Connie's eyes were red, she smiled and cursed, and then took Elizabeth's hand.
"Love has never been a person's business, only when two people are fully committed can it blossom and bear fruit, and there can be a better future.
You can ask yourself one night if you really love him, the kind that you love dead and alive.
Or was it just moved by his actions.
These are two completely different feelings, and if it's the latter, then I recommend you think twice.
If it's the former, then congratulations, you can already come up and flash your bayonets to those women and turn them all into the vinegar jar!"
As she spoke, she held out her index finger and placed it on top of her lips. Learn from Wood.
"How about our conversation today as a secret between us?"
Elizabeth stared at the slightly reddened eye socket and nodded silently, while clenching her fists and opening her mouth slightly.
"Thank you. I know what to do next. β
