Chapter Eighty-Three: The Elven Heart
Elder Water Spirit took the lead in breaking the silence, although her voice was a little old, but still pleasant, she said politely: "I am Elder Water Elf, my name is Shui Linglong, we have heard what the village chief of Mercury said about you, she should also tell you the important surname of the Heart of the Ocean to us, a few of us old guys came here just to see if there is any way for us to unify our opinions, not only to satisfy your friends, but also to let us achieve the original purpose." β
I smiled slightly, and said unabashedly: "I know the current difficulties of your elf race, and you want to communicate with the water god, just hoping to find a way to restore the reproductive ability of your elf race and continue to survive on the continent, am I right?"
Several elven elders looked at each other with amazement in the eyes of the others, who clearly did not expect that I had gained insight into their true purpose. Shui Linglong nodded and said: "Since you already know, there is no need for us to hide it, yes, we really want to do this, friends of the demon race, do you know? The number of our elf race is weakening at a rate of one to two percent every hundred years, if it continues like this, it won't take a few hundred years, and there will be no more existence of our elf race in the Jinyuan Continent." β
I nodded and said, "I understand your suffering, every creature has his right to live, but I have a doubt in my heart, if your elven race recovers its reproductive ability, with your natural advantage, it may not take too long to quickly recover and become another powerful force in addition to the three major races now, and at that time, the Jin Yuan Continent will become even more disordered, which I don't want to see, so I can't agree to your request." "I honestly said what I was thinking, hoping to dispel them.
The Elder of the Wood Elves, who is also surnamed Female, said: "Child, I am the Elder of the Wood Elves, my name is Mu Rou, although what you said makes sense, but, you think too far, even if our Elf Clan recovers, it will be thousands of years later, I think, you have also seen, our Elf Clan, we do not have a strong desire to win, let alone invade others, we just don't want the Elf Clan to decide." So, we really hope you can do us a favor. β
Hearing her say this, there is indeed her reason, and I was hesitating, the Fire Elf Elder said: "Child, I am Firefall, Mu Rou is right, we can assure you that the future generations of the Elf Clan will never participate in any war on the continent." Our elven clan now has one hundred and thirty-one elves, twenty-six elves and five elven elders, as long as you can help us with this, we are willing to send them in your lifetime. β
His condition does have a strong temptation for me, I have seen the strength of the elves, the five elves combined, absolutely not inferior to the fallen angels of the demon race or the dragon knights of the humans, and how can the great elves make a draw with the fallen angels, and these five elf elders, I am afraid that they will have the ability of the dragoon, with their strength, even if they rob me, I am afraid there is a great hope of success, of course, the blue stone is not in my hands, they can't grab it if they want to. If this powerful force is under my control, then it is not ......
Just as I was moving, the Earth Elf Elder, a short yellow old elf, said, "Brother Firefall is right, we can make the highest oath of the Elven Clan to you here. Sighing, he continued: "Child, I, the Earth Elf Elder Tutun, tell you from the bottom of my heart, in fact, we don't want to make the Elves strong to anything, we just hope that the Elves can maintain the balance of the biological chain, and that's enough, the so-called balance of the biological chain means that the number of our newly born elves can be equal to the number of dead elves." If we elves can regain their ability to reproduce, when the number reaches a certain level, we will definitely limit the reproduction. β
Tutun's words really touched me, and I nodded unconsciously. Seeing that there was hope, the Wind Elf Elder said, "I, the Wind Elf Elder Wind Frost, can ensure that what Elder Tu Swallow said is not half a lie, and, in order to make up for your friend, we are willing to give her the most precious elven heart of the elven clan, and we will not take it back until her life is gone." β
I was surprised and asked, "Elven Heart?"
Mercury explained: "The so-called Elven Heart is also a gem, and it contains the root of our Elves - five different elements, and the most amazing thing is the teleportation array in the Elven Heart. With the approval of the five elders, the Elven Heart can summon any Elven Elder at any time and place with a certain spell to receive help. β
I sighed secretly in my heart, in order to obtain this heart of the ocean that can change the fate of the elves, the elves are willing to pay such a big price. I said indifferently, "Five elders, aren't you afraid of the non-people you entrust? If I use the power of your elven clan to achieve some evil goals, I'm afraid it's too late for you to regret it." β
Shui Linglong smiled slightly and said, "Child, we old guys have lived for more than six hundred years, and I can see that although you are very murderous, your surname is kind." And if you can ask such a question, it proves that you don't have the intention of doing so, does it?"
I looked at Mo Yue, and she sent a voice to me: "Husband, the elves are also pitiful, you can go and beg Sister Zixue." β
There shouldn't be any problems on Zixue's side, I still have this confidence, I gritted my teeth and made up my mind: "Okay, in that case, I promise you." The elves are indeed not a race that should be exterminated, but what you just said requires arithmetic. And I can't guarantee that I'll be able to bring back the Heart of the Sea to you. β
The five elders looked at each other, their expressions all showed joy, and the five of them were united in one heart, and said loudly at the same time: "I am the water Linglong (wood softness, fire fall, earth swallow, wind and frost), in the water god (the god of the forest, the god of fire, the god of the earth, Fengshen) swears that we are willing to take the inheritance of the elven bloodline as a guarantee, as long as we get the heart of the ocean, let our elves continue to reproduce, and we are willing to let all the elves follow Lei Xiang in his lifetime, no matter what difficulties, help him unconditionally, and lend the elven heart to Lei Xiang's friends until the end of his life. Moreover, we hereby guarantee that no matter how many years have passed, the elven race will never intervene in the war between any race in the Jinyuan Continent. The five elven elders bit the middle finger of their left hand at the same time, and five drops of blood flew out, under the control of their power, condensed into one in the air, and the five of them shouted at the same time: "Deed." The blood droplets suddenly glowed with multicolored light, forming a beautiful symbol in the air, and slowly disappeared.
Seeing that they were willing to do such a thing for their people, I was also extremely moved, and said: "Since the five elders trust me so much, I, Lei Xiang, swear in the name of the mad god that I will definitely find the heart of the ocean and the other two water hearts and hand them over to the elf clan. β
The five elders smiled slightly, and nodded at the same time. Mercury asked in surprise, "Brother Lei Xiang, do you believe in a mad god?"
I said proudly, "Of course, the mad god Theomandis is a first-level god in the divine realm. After saying that, I realized that I had made a mistake.
Sure enough, several elders asked in surprise at the same time, "What is a first-level divine slander?"
I said embarrassedly: "This is just my evaluation of the gods of the divine realm, okay, since you have already made an oath, when do you want the heart of the ocean." β
Shui Linglong said: "Of course, the sooner the better, just now, when you swore an oath, you said that you were willing to help us get the heart of water, is it true?"
I smiled and said: "The oath has been made, of course it is true, Mercury Village Chief, you should still remember what the demon clan said at the beginning, after a while, I will go to the demon clan, and by the way, I will help you get back those two pieces of water heart, this is a complete set of artifacts, otherwise, how can I receive such a heavy gift from your elf clan." In two to three years, I will definitely return the Heart of the Ocean to you along with the other two Hearts of Water. However, your defenses need to be strengthened, and if the other Vice-Water Hearts are stolen again, I'm afraid there will be nothing I can do. β
Shui Linglong said: "Thank you for reminding us, we will, several of our elders have decided to keep the existing four water hearts together until they are ready." Do you know, kid, that you bring hope to us elves!"
I laughed and said, "Grandma over six hundred years old, you don't have to sigh, it's too early to say this, and it's not too late to thank me when everything settles." β
Elder Mu Rou said, "Okay, we'll wait for your good news." β
I nodded, "Okay." Now that this is the end of the matter, we're going to take our leave, and I'll send it right here when we have all these things. β
Shui Linglong smiled slightly, and said, "Don't be so troublesome, didn't we promise you to lend you the Elven Heart, with the Elven Heart, you just need to summon one of our five old guys and give it to us." β
Mo Yue frowned and said, "Didn't you say that you would only fulfill your promise when we got the things back?" You handed over the heart of the elves to us, and you weren't afraid that we would run away?"
Shui Linglong shook her head and said: "I believe that you will not use the Elven Heart casually, not to mention, there are five of us old guys to check it, with the Elven Heart, we can also help you when you encounter danger." As she spoke, she turned her head to look at the other elders, as if asking for their opinions.
The rest of the elders nodded in unison. The five elven supreme leaders stretched out their left hands at the same time, palms facing upwards. They began to mutter elven language, so fast that we couldn't hear it clearly.
Mercury said: "With the Elven Heart, you are the closest friends of our Elven Clan. Several elders are using their own power to summon the power of our elven primordial power, creating elven hearts, and the spell chanted by the elven language is the most powerful magic of our elven race, but it can only be used if the elves make the above. β
The aura of magic elements emanating from the five elven elders surprised me very much, even if I transform into a fallen angel, if it is only magic, I am afraid that I am not as good as one of them, such a strong magic ability, how can they also belong to the level of the upper magister, if you can't get it, there are one or two great magisters among them. The elven race, a race that has disappeared from the continent for many years, has such a great hidden strength.
With the chanting of the five elf elders, a ball of light appeared on their outstretched left hand, according to the different control of their magic elements, they were blue, green, red, yellow, and blue, and the light of the five-color ball of light became more and more abundant, when the ball of light reached the size of a human head, the five elders shouted at the same time, and raised the ball of light above their heads, and the five-color light shot to the middle at the same time, and a small colored light gradually appeared in the air, and with the gradual dimming of the five-color ball of light, the light of the colored ball of light gradually increased, and the foreheads of the five elders were already slightly sweaty, it seems that it is really very difficult to make this so-called elf heartγ
Elder Shui Linglong took the lead in withdrawing her hand, and broke away from the colored ball of light in the air, she had words in her mouth, constantly changing various gestures, and blue symbols gradually appeared from her hand, flying towards the colored ball of light in the air, which lasted for a long time before she stopped, gasped slightly, and shot out a blue light in her hand to support the colored ball of light in the air.
The next one was Mu Rou, who did the same thing as Shui Linglong, followed by Firefall, Earth Swallow, and Wind and Frost, who in turn also shot different complex symbols into the ball of light in the air.
When the wind and frost were finally completed, the bodies of the five elf elders rose at the same time with various colored flames, squeezing the terrifying energy in the air with all their might, the multicolored light became weaker and weaker, and finally, after the final blow of the elf elders, the multicolored light disappeared, and a transparent five-colored crystal slowly flew towards me, I caught it, the multicolored crystal with a slight warmth, an unusually strange feeling came into my body, and the surrounding various elemental energy seemed to be closer to me, I held it in the palm of my hand, looking at this transparent crystal, there was a layer of multicolored smoke on it, which looked like a hazy beautyγ I found that when I focused my attention on it, it seemed as if I had an inexplicable connection with the five elven elders.
After the five elders finished crafting the Elven Heart, they all sat down in their chairs exhausted and gasped.
Shui Linglong sent a voice to me: "Child, take it well, don't lose it, when you need our help, you only need to recite the spell, the heart of the elf, the heart is smart, the door of space, open in an instant, plus a specific spell word." For example, if you want my help, pronounce a water character at the end, and if you want to get help from Elder Murou, pronounce a wooden character at the end. Got it?" I nodded, playing with the Elven Heart in my hand with great interest.
Shui Linglong then said: "Also, as long as you recite the spell, the heart of the elf, the heart of the elf, the mind is one, it will be attached to you, if the spell is not lifted, even if you die, it will not fall, the spell that is lifted is, the heart of the elf, the heart collects the spirit." Be sure to keep it in mind. β
I whispered, "The heart of the elves, the hearts of the souls." When the Elven Heart heard my spell, the light flashed and suddenly disappeared into the air, and I felt that something suddenly appeared on my heart, and I hurriedly touched it through my clothes. Sure enough, the Elven Heart was already sucking on my skin.
Mo Yue walked over curiously and said, "Husband, show me." β
I said, "The heart of the elf, the heart of the spirit." "The light flashed, and the beautiful Elven Heart appeared in the air in front of me, and Mo Yue looked at the beautiful Elven Heart with some fascination, and seemed to be a little stunned.
I smiled and said, "Otherwise, I'll give it to you." β
Mo Yue shook her head and said, "Don't, this is what you used to exchange the heart of the ocean with Sister Zixue, how can I ask for it, put it away, it's time for us to say goodbye to everyone." β
I secretly recited the incantation, withdrew the elven heart, and said to the five elven elders and Mercury: "Then I won't bother, and when I have an eyebrow, I will immediately inform you with the elven heart." β
The five elven elders all stood up, and Shui Linglong said, "We are all a little tired, so we won't send you away, Mercury Village Chief, you can do it for you." β
Mercury nodded respectfully, stretched out his hand, and said to me, "Please, two of you." β
Mo Yue and I respectfully bow to the five elven elders, these old people who have dedicated their lives to their race are indeed worthy of our admiration and respect. The five elven elders smiled at us at the same time.
Out of the elven village, I glanced back at Mercury at the entrance of the village, and shook my hand at her again, elves, don't worry, I will definitely bring you the hope of life. I took Moyue's hand and walked forward firmly.
As I walked, I said to Mo Yue: "Yue'er, you won't blame me for promising them to snatch back those two water hearts without your permission first." β
Mo Yue smiled slightly and said, "Of course not." Let's not mention that it is in the hands of Uncle Sucha, even if it is my father's emperor, I will definitely help you come, although you are always cold on the surface, but I know that you have a warm and kind heart. β
I looked at her noncommittally and kissed her on the forehead.
Mo Yue said: "Uncle Su Cha is also true, he actually has such a precious thing and does not tell his father, if he lets his father know, he will definitely trouble him." β
I asked a little strangely, "Yue'er, how did I find out that you don't seem to hate Prince Sucha very much, isn't he completely opposed to your father?"
Mo Yue sighed and said, "Although Uncle Sucha and my father are completely opposites, he has been very kind to me and has always loved me since I was a child. Every time he sees me, he brings me something delicious or something to play. As a child, I used to mess around the palace on his shoulder, and sometimes, pee on his neck. But even then, Uncle Sucha never got angry. Later, when I grew up, Uncle Sucha was still very kind to me, and sometimes, when he and my father had a quarrel over some political issues, he would make concessions whenever I stepped forward. Therefore, I have always had an inseparable affection for him. I wasn't as hostile to him as my father was. β
It turns out that this is the case, from Mo Yue's mouth, I know the other side of Su Cha, it seems that if I fight with him in the future, for Mo Yue, I have to let him go, he can be so good to Mo Yue, I always have to have something in return. Thinking of this, I smiled and said, "Originally, when I wanted to go to the Demon Clan, I helped your father pack up Sucha as a gift for my marriage, but it seems that I am going to change my mind." β
Mo Yue was startled and said, "Husband, don't kill Uncle Sucha, he's actually not too bad." β
I pinched her cute little nose and said pettily, "Got it." β
............
Mo Yue and I are not in a hurry, we will play for a day or two everywhere, it has been a long time since this kind of leisurely feeling, the dark magic power is under our joint nationality and double xiu, it is even faster than my original penance progress, when we came to the Strut Fortress, my Heavenly Demon Decisive has been cultivated to the highest point of the seventh layer, reaching the bottleneck, Mo Yue's four-winged fallen angel transformation has also stabilized, because her foundation is not very strong, so the progress is slower than mine. Although my mad god fighting qi was not deliberately cultivated, it was still slowly growing every day, and it was running on its own all the time. I'm not in a hurry, because I understand that this is not a day or two to succeed in cultivation, since Brother Theomandis said that it will take a hundred years of cultivation to achieve success, it is useless for me to be anxious, Suo surname goes with the flow, and by the time I succeed in cultivation, maybe my beloved people will already be unable to walk the path. Now, what I hope most is to live a quiet life with them.
When I entered the city, I found that there was no sign of gunsmoke filling the city, and the merchants and civilians of the city were doing their thing leisurely. The fortress of Stru was a barrier that kept them safe. As before, Moyue looked around and looked around when she arrived at Stru's Fortress, looking for something new. Orc Country, I'm back, I don't know what changes you have made in the past half a year. Approaching my hometown, I can't help but miss everything about the Orc Country even more.
"Husband, come and see, this sword is so beautiful. β
I smiled bitterly, knowing that the purchasing frenzy was coming again. Just as he was about to walk towards Mo Yue, a group of people suddenly appeared from the other end of the street. The cyan dragon god empire knight costumes, everyone riding on a tall horse, seems to be a patrol force, the surrounding civilians see them all automatically dodge the road, the reason why I stopped is because I saw the leader of this team, it is none other than Riva. After not seeing him for a while, his skills seemed to have improved a lot, and his face had a layer of luster on his face, and he smiled and greeted the civilians around him. Probably because of the identity of the dragon knight, the people around him were very kind to him, and some food sellers also handed him some exquisite food, but he refused them one by one.
To be honest, I don't have the hatred of being defeated in the first place for Riva, but I am a little ashamed, after all, his most beloved Zi Yan has given his heart to me.
I was stunned and Riva also found me, after all, a height of two meters is very uncommon in the Dragon God Empire, coupled with the master's qi and energy, his gaze shot at me. It's too late for me to hide. I could only look at him helplessly. Riva didn't seem to know about me and Zi Yan yet, and with a hint of surprise in his eyes, he urged the war horse under his crotch to gallop over. At this time, Mo Yue saw that I didn't go over, ran out of the shop, and shouted, "Husband, husband, why can't you come over." β
Riva galloped to the reins in front of me, the war horse under his crotch let out a long neigh, and the two front hooves rose up and landed on the side, Riva let out a long laugh and said, "Lei Xiang, we haven't seen you for a long time, why are you here." β
Mo Yue looked at Riva strangely and asked me in a low voice, "Husband, who is he?"
I nodded slightly at Riva and said, "Senior Riva, hello, I'm just passing by here, so I'll come in and have a look." β
Riva jumped off his horse and took two steps forward and said, "Last time, you and Zi Yan suddenly disappeared during the battle, but I was really worried for a long time, and then Zi Yan came back and said that I was separated from you, and the Duke asked us to look for you nearby for a long time?"
I said to Mo Yue: "Yue'er, let me introduce you, this is my senior Riva in Tiandu Academy, he was the number one master of our academy at the beginning. β
Mo Yue grinned and said, "Is it better than you?"
I gently squeezed her little hand and smiled, "Of course, I'm a defeated soldier under Senior Riva." Senior Riva, this is Humble Jing Moyue. β
Riva looked at the stunning beauty in front of her with a surprised face, with a puzzled look on her face, Mo Yue shook off the long black hair that was long behind her calves, and also looked at Riva with interest, Riva's face changed slightly, and he grabbed my arm and said, "Lei Xiang, come, let's go to the side and say a few words." β
I turned my head to Mo Yue and said, "Yue'er, you wait for me in the store next to me, and I will catch up with Senior Riva, so I will come to you." β
Although Mo Yue was a little reluctant, she still turned around and went. Riva also told his subordinates to wait for a while, and then pulled me into a small teahouse, his face was no longer the surprise when he first saw me, his expression was serious, as soon as he sat down, he asked: "Lei Xiang, what's going on? Why did you say that the girl just now was your wife, what about Sister Zixue, I have been to the Duke's Palace twice, but she will never forget you." You can't let her down. β
I shook my head and said, "Of course I won't let down Zixue, the relationship between me and Yue'er is agreed by Zixue, and both of them will marry me and become my wife." β
Riva froze at first, and after a long time, he came back to his senses, he punched me in the shoulder, and said with a smile: "You kid is really good, you can kill two birds with one stone, you really enjoy the blessings of all people, but will you be too wronged Sister Zixue." β
I smiled and said, "Of course not, I love them the same." What's more, Mo Yue's family background is no worse than Zixue?" "The daughter of the Emperor of the Demon Clan, if it is compared to her family background, I'm afraid there are few who can compare it." O Riva, what would you think if you knew that my blessings of Qi also included your beloved Zi Yan?
Riva sighed and said, "It's still your ability, I'm far worse in this regard, I fell in love with Zi Yan from the first time I saw her, but, after chasing her for so many years, she is still cold to me, there is no reaction, I don't understand, what's wrong with me, she just won't accept me." As he spoke, Riva lowered his head in pain. It can be seen that he really likes Zi Yan, but I must not let this, because my feelings for Zi Yan are not inferior to him, and the person Zi Yan loves is me. I could only be speechless about Riva's pain, and in order to make him feel better, I changed the subject and said, "Senior Riva, how is the fortress here lately? β
Riva shook his head and said: "The demon and beast clans are very honest now, I also found out a few days ago, it turns out that there is also a holy dragon knight order in our Dragon God Empire, and the members of the group are all composed of dragon riders, with their powerful power, how dare the demon and beast clans easily violate the realm? I really don't understand, why didn't the above send them to annihilate the demons and beasts." Oh, by the way, when did you come back?"
I nodded, "I see, I haven't been back for long, I ...... back in the first place," I told Riva again the lie about how to escape...... That's it, since I've been away from the academy for too long, I don't want to go back to school, so I ran out and traveled around, senior, Yue'er is still waiting for me, I won't disturb your patrol. β
Riva stood up and said, "Well, if anything happens in the future, you can come to me at the military headquarters of the fortress, and with your efforts, if you join the army, you will definitely get a good position." Follow me. "He looked very sincere, as if he really wanted me to stay.
I shook my head and said, "I still have to go to Moyue's house, I will talk about these things later, if I have the opportunity, I will definitely go to you." β
While talking, the two of us walked out of the teahouse, Riva flew on the horse, said a few more polite words, and left with someone, looking at his departing back, I sighed and walked into the small shop that Mo Yue had just entered. Mo Yue turned her back to the gate, and she was there not knowing what to play, looking like she couldn't put it down.
"Yue'er, what do you like?"
Hearing my voice, Mo Yue turned around, shook the things in her hand, and said, "Husband, come and take a look, this sword is so beautiful." β
I walked in front of her in a few steps, the owner and clerk of the store heard Mo Yue call me husband, they all showed envy and jealousy, I have seen a lot of this situation, and I didn't care about taking the things in Mo Yue's hand, it was a narrow sword, and the one Mo Yue is using now is very similar, the length, width and narrowness are about the same, the sword is milky white, it seems to be carved from some ore as a whole, the style is simple and elegant, and there is indeed something attractive. It was very light to start, as if it didn't weigh much, and I asked the boss, "How much does this sword cost?"
