The long and arduous journey finally came to an end, and as Ekor brushed away the cobwebs and moss that covered the tree holes, the "post station" that had blessed the north and helped them reach their northern homeland was finally revealed. www.biquge.info On the surface, the elf's shelter was an ordinary tree hole, but when Ekor took Akachi into it and walked all the way down the sloped path, they were surprised to find that the space in the tree hole was larger than they had imagined, and with the help of the elven night vision, the two saw that the tunnel that stretched all the way to the bottom of the swamp turned on one side and connected to a dry stone cave, and the tree symbol representing Traren was carved into a small prismatic stone bulge in front of the stone cave.

"I ...... We did it!" Ekor stroked the shelter mark, and was so excited that she couldn't even speak.

Akachi couldn't help but sigh in his heart as he looked at the happy appearance of this fellow elf as if he had stepped into paradise. The toxin in his body allows him to sense the danger that Ekor has not yet perceived, but at this moment, Akachi cannot bear to spoil Ekko's happiness, and does not want him to be a fool who does not believe in happiness and hope like himself.

"Ekko," Akachi said suddenly, "I have something interesting to tell you. ”

"What?"

"I lied to you, but I always remember my name, the elven name with meaning. Akachi said, feeling like he was on the verge of losing consciousness from the long journey and the toxin.

"That's good news, when you get to Alada, you're going to need a name that's better for you, so what's that name?"

"Ekko"

"I'm listening, what's the name?"

"Ekko, the echo of Ikko. ”

Eko was stunned for a moment, then laughed heartily.

"I didn't expect it...... What a coincidence! If my family had known, they would have been clamoring to see you, and when you play tricks on people, many unexpected things will happen......"

Akachi didn't pay much attention to Eako's chatter, and he could clearly sense that danger was getting closer and closer to them. In fact, judging from Ekko's expression, he also seemed to sense the danger of approaching each step, and Ikko was probably just reluctant to listen to those voices because he was reluctant to have beautiful fantasies.

"Can you tell me your last name?" asked Ica.

"Ballerus. ”

Pelarius ...... It's the North Star family! I've heard of it! It was originally a family of the Elven Sanctuary faction...... In the end, he resolutely decided to escort the elves heading north. ”

"There's no such thing as a North Star family anymore. Akachi smiled slightly.

"Ekko, put me out of the shelter. In the end, Akachi chose to face reality.

"Why is this happening......" Ekor hung her head in frustration.

"I should have thought a long time ago, the elven sanctuary is probably not a secret that belongs only to the elves...... Perhaps, there is no need for two 'echoes' in this world. ”

"By the way, I'm going to have a fun spell that can be used for entertainment right now, but unfortunately you might not see the effect. Ekor said suddenly.

Akachi looked at Ekor suspiciously, only to see Ekko's face slowly blur. He frowned and looked at it for a long time, and suddenly remembered a fairy tale that his mother had told him, a story about an elven princess and a prince - in order to prove the prince's sincerity to the princess, the elven maids conjured up the princess's appearance to set one test after another for the prince, and his parents had said that the magic in the story was real, and this magic was in the hands of the elven royals. Akachi suddenly remembered that when he left the governor's mansion, a large number of Assassins had been led out by Eko as if they were demons......

"Your surname is Siddle, Siddle representing Cedar, and your family is related to the Elven royal family?" Akaki asked involuntarily, knowing full well that the face that looked blurry in his own eyes was probably what he looked like in the eyes of others.

"Elven royalty doesn't exist in Elada. Ekor chuckled.

"You're going to call it Ekko, stop calling it Akachi, and forget about the past associated with it. Ekor Siddle said.

No! Akachi struggled as if he realized something, but his consciousness was cut off in pain that spread from the back of his neck to his whole body.

I don't know how long it took for Akachi to be awakened by an old, haggard voice. He opened his eyes, and saw that the stone cavern of the sanctuary was illuminated by the soft light of torches, and a familiar face appeared in front of him—Egg's face was bruised and looked ridiculous, and behind Egger stood several elves in white coats.

Akachi rubbed his forehead subconsciously, he hadn't seen so many elves standing together in a long time. But what made him even more curious was that there was an elven female with a pigeon standing on her shoulder, which looked like the one released by Lusman. I heard the elf ask Egg softly, "Is this the person mentioned in the letter?"

"Yes, absolutely. ”

"Then there's no problem. ”

The elven woman pulled a blank piece of letter from her sleeve and placed it in Akaki's hand, then she took out a bottle of unknown powder and sprinkled it evenly on the letter in front of Akachi. Akachi stared at the movements of the person in front of her in a daze, feeling an indescribable sadness in her expression.

When the bottle of powder was completely sprinkled, Ekko's handwriting suddenly appeared on the originally empty letter, and the elf in front of him silently made a gesture of invitation to Akachi, and then took a step back.

Akachi looked down and read the letter, which Ekor had written to him with surprise and frustration. Surprisingly, he didn't even know what he found out about him, but helplessly, Eko really did as promised, and shook out the truth the first time he met with the Hub.

Akaki sighed at what Ekor had done for him, and an elf who loved his home so much gave him the opportunity to return home. Akachi couldn't help but grab his hair again, and a song suddenly came to his mind.

(I'm a bird in my shell, and I always think that crimson mixed with pitch black is the color of the world.) )

"Ekor told me to return it to you after reading it. ”

"I'm glad you made such a decision. ”

(I don't dare break the prison that binds me, because I'm afraid the world will no longer be whole.) )

"Eko wants you to return to Elada with us, I don't know ...... you"

"Ekko's expectations are my will. ”

(One day a voice sings outside the shell, and the voice depicts a colorful country that I can't imagine.) )

"You look a little weak, do you need to rest here?"

"My body is not a big deal. ”

(I resisted the voice that moved my heart, and I didn't think that the light had broken into my world.) ）

"In that case, Akachi, let's get on our way at once!"

"That's exactly what I expected, but please call me Eko. ”

Eko Pollerius stood up slowly against the stone wall, the song that had suddenly come to mind was not finished, but he believed he could finish it on the way.

"There was a voice that left a mark on my heart. Ecco suddenly thought.

"So I swear to be an echo of that voice. ”
