Chapter 111: The End
The speaker's voice was low, and perhaps the news was very uncomfortable for them, and at the same time difficult to accept.
However, Yi Fan still heard the voice, so he immediately raised his head and looked at Simon in confirmation! A strong uneasiness enveloped his mind, and he already had a premonition in his heart before he got the answer.
"Yes, Great Elder, it's dead!" Seeing Yi Fan's expression, Simon's face couldn't help twitching slightly, thinking that this matter was also quite a blow to him.
Connor is dead, the old man who is known as the strongest of the six tribes is actually dead! The old man whose strength is closest to that of a magister, even against an ordinary junior sword master, who still has the power to fight and resist, why would he become the only victim of this incident!
For Yi Fan, the relationship between this old man and him is not very close, even if he has had a lot of intersections with him after the battle with rabid dogs, it is not enough to have much affection for Yi Fan, a person from another world.
But he knew how important this old man was to Ethra. There was already a slight choking sound around him, and even if he didn't turn sideways to confirm, Yi Fan knew that it was Aethera crying.
"How did the Great Elder die?" gently pulling Ethella into his arms, Yi Fan patted her on the back as he raised his head and continued to ask Simon.
Hearing Yi Fan's words, Simon's face changed several times in an instant, and after a few seconds of silence, he took Yi Fan towards a temporary tent while signaling that the elves in the arena were all dispersed.
Seeing Simon's gesture, the other elves looked at each other, except for super elites such as Ryker, as well as a few patriarchs and elders, everyone else turned around and walked in different directions, at this moment they must also be on guard against some possible enemies from other countries and races.
The reason why they didn't go to the existing place to live and temporarily set up a new tent here was probably because Simon and they didn't confirm that Yi Fan could defeat the prawns, so in order to deal with the situation that might arise later, they had to choose to temporarily stay here with all the staff.
It is precisely because it is a tent set up at zero hour, so the furnishings inside the tent can be said to be extremely simple, although the number of people who enter the tent is at most a dozen people, but more than half of the people have to choose to stand there at this time.
Of course, as a divine envoy and successfully defeated the prawns, Yi Fan must have his own place here.
Sitting quietly in front of a table made of a few wooden planks, Yi Fan looked at Simon tightly, waiting for his next words.
"Malachi, no, Akuchilia, the black dragon, is the direct cause of the death of the Great Elder. Looking at Yi Fan's expression, Simon's mood became heavier and heavier, although he knew that telling the truth might not be a good option, but at this moment, he really didn't have the energy to consider other methods.
"What?" Yi Fan's face suddenly became very difficult to look at, because the Akuchilia in Simon's mouth was the monster that Malachi had incarnated by his mercy at the critical moment and let him live.
Could it be that Elder Connor's death was due to my indirect, no, direct cause? Yi Fan almost subconsciously clenched his hands, because in the final analysis, the reason why he would let Akuchilia live was that in addition to the sudden flood of useless sympathy, there was actually a little selfishness in it.
According to his speculation, whether it was the dragon core implanted in Malachi's body, or the black dragon body that was later used by Raphael and them to transform into Akuchilia, it is very likely that there is some kind of connection with the Baroque that is sleeping in his body at this time, which is not clear for the time being.
"It's all my fault, if it wasn't for me at the time, if I ...... at the time" Thinking of a person who was extremely important to Ethella and died because of his own insignificant guesses, Yi Fan couldn't help but say with chagrin.
"Malachi's body, in addition to having a dragon core, was also used by demons to inject demon seeds when he used him to summon Akuchilia, so at the edge of the distance you left, after the strength of the seal gradually weakened, the demon in his body seized control of his body, and manipulated and recovered some of his strength to attack us!"
"Demon Seed, is this thing again?" Hearing what Verte mentioned, Yi Fan couldn't help but repeat in a low voice.
He thought of the knight of Antola, the old man named Roselet, whose honor as a paladin seemed to have been destroyed by this thing.
"The black dragon that has regained its strength is very powerful, and although there are almost the best warriors and mages of the six nearby tribes gathered here, there is still no possibility of resisting it with our strength. Lake said in a guilty voice as he stared at the ground with his head buried in his head.
There was still some loss in his words, perhaps because he, who was known as the most genius, had almost no use in this battle.
"What about the black dragon? Why is the black dragon gone, could it be that you guys are not in the end, is it Elder Connor?"
Thinking of this possibility, Yi Fan raised his head at one point.
"The Stone of End, in order to defeat Akuchilia, Elder Connor, used the stone known as the Forbidden Stone, the stone that will inevitably lose its life if it is used once, no matter how powerful it is......" Simon clenched his fists tightly and buried his head on the table, saying in a voice full of remorse.
"So, Elder Connor's death is all the devil's fault, and. Speaking of this, Verte suddenly stood up, walked up to Yi Fan with a serious face, and bowed deeply to him, "Thank you very much, Lord Divine Envoy, if it weren't for your mercy, my incompetent father would never see my unworthy son again." ”
"Vertes, that's enough. Seeing Verte's expression, Simon on the side couldn't help but pat the table, "Your son's life, in addition to being preserved by the gods, is also exchanged for Elder Connor's life, so ......"
"I'm sorry!" Before Simon could finish his words, Verte suddenly turned around and bowed his head to him, "I'm very sorry!"
Verte's performance was obviously beyond Simon's expectations, after all, according to his original thoughts, even if Verte immediately pretended to express his reluctance to Connor's death, he would not be surprised at all, but what he didn't expect at all was that this guy would apologize to himself so seriously.
In other words, those words just now don't mean anything else at all? Really, when has it been, and I'm still wondering if others have other intentions! Simon, you're really old! With a wry smile on his face, Simon waved his hand at Verte.
"These words, let's stay with you first, but after losing Elder Connor, you Dark Star Clan, you Dark Star Clan, you must do your best to fill it!" "For a moment, Simon suddenly felt that everything he had done seemed to be meaningless, after all, in the face of a crisis that the entire continent may face, the disputes between a few tribes are really too small things.
Seeing that the situation did not develop in a bad direction, the elves who deliberately followed up couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, after all, in this matter, whether it was Simon, Verte or Yi Fan, if anyone went to the truth, it would make the current vulnerable group even more vulnerable.
"That's right, this time the incident is actually not the responsibility of one person at all, or in other words, for us now, accountability is really the last thing we should do. Seeing that the situation did not develop as much as it could get worse, Sang said as he stood up and looked at Yi Fan and Simon.
As the patriarch of the Dark Moon Tribe, when the atmosphere has become like this, perhaps he is the only one who has the qualifications to break this atmosphere.
"Well, I also agree with Patriarch San's words, this time the matter is not only not the matter of everyone here, or even just the matter of the elven race, but an extremely serious issue for the entire continent, so after confirming that the situation is temporarily resolved, I will also return to the Holy See immediately and report this matter to His Majesty the Pope. Othello, who was standing on the side, also took two steps forward at this time.
The armor on his body had obvious signs of damage everywhere, and he didn't hesitate at all in the daytime battle, which made Yi Fan's impression of him a little better.
"That's right, not only the Holy See, but also the Elven King and several human kings, we must also pass the news over immediately, if we don't discuss countermeasures earlier, it will be too late later. The Great Elder of the Dark Moon Tribe, tremblingly holding the staff in his hand, looked at everyone present and said.
Although there is no knowledge of when the demon will attack like this again, everyone can vaguely feel that it will not happen for a long time. And probably everyone still has a guess in their hearts that they dare not say, that is, where this kind of thing happened, is they the only one, if it also happens elsewhere, in the absence of the existence of divine angels, whether they really resisted.
"Now, then, let's send someone out to spread the news!" Seeing that everyone was almost the same, Simon raised his head and said to everyone in the room.
All of them, at this time, in this situation, suddenly seemed to have some kind of tacit understanding, and chose not to mention Connor's death again.
Outside the tent, a light rain began to fall in the sky, perhaps because of the fighting during the day, or perhaps because someone was crying......
