Chapter 327: Elendo's Trial (7)
Talon and Blade Dance didn't dare to act rashly, so both of them just stayed vigilantly more than ten meters beside Elendor, just guarding with all their might.
However, these oak warriors all knew in their hearts, even the two druid masters could be forced back by Allendo, and he took the opportunity to take another master as a hostage, if Alendor really wanted to escape desperately, what could these oak warriors do? Maybe they couldn't even stop and he knocked them to the ground with a punch.
The situation is at a stalemate, and if Allendo wants to kill the killer, he may be able to take the opportunity to get out, but he is not willing to do so at all, and he is protecting himself from the whole thing. As for the Talon Master and the Blade Dance Master, they were both forced back by Allendo, and now that the opponent has a hostage in his hand, he has to take into account the life of the Silver Leaf Master if he wants to continue fighting.
Just when both of them were feeling a little embarrassed, an old voice came from not far away: "Stop!"
The Talon Master and the Blade Dance Master were very familiar with this voice, and they immediately changed back into human form and said in unison, "Elder Black Bear, why did you come out?"
"Elder Black Bear?" Alendor cried out as he looked at an old man with snow-white hair and beard who was slowly walking towards him. When he left here eight years ago, Elder Black Bear was still quite strong, but when I saw him again today, this powerful druid was so thin that he had to cough incessantly with every step.
"Elendo, ahem, you've grown up!" Elder Black Bear came to a position 10 meters away from Elendor and stopped, he coughed and said to Elendo: "Time flies so fast, you have been out for seven or eight years, and the small tree at the entrance of the village has now become a towering tree." ”
"Yes, Elder Black Bear. Alendor gently placed Master Silver Leaf on the ground, and then bowed to Elder Black Bear. For this druid elder, Alendor has always been full of respect in his heart, and it is precisely because he has seen the scene of the black bear elder transforming into a fight since he was a child that Allendo has made up his mind to embark on the path of transforming druids.
Seeing that Elendor was still treating himself like he had done eight years ago, Elder Black Bear seemed very relieved, he waved his hand, motioning for Master Talon to leave, Master Talon hesitated slightly, and finally retreated with those oak druids, while Master Blade Dance quickly stepped forward to pick up Master Silver Leaf and turned to leave.
"Come on, come and talk in my room. Although Elder Black Bear was seriously ill in bed, his prestige was unmatched in the entire village, and after seeing Elder Black Bear come forward, the others all bowed respectfully and left, while Alendor followed Elder Black Bear and slowly walked towards his house.
Although Elder Black Bear is the leader of the entire tribe, the place where he lives is no different from an ordinary druid, it is an ordinary thatched house, and as soon as Alendor walked in, he smelled a strong smell of herbs in the house. Elder Black Bear smiled self-deprecatingly and said to Allendo, "People are old, but they don't want to die, so they get some herbs to eat." ”
Alendor didn't know what to say, his only choice was to sit quietly in his chair and listen in the dark as Elder Black Bear coughed and spoke: "Time flies so fast, it's been 80 years in the blink of an eye." Elendor, like you, I was a druid warrior who wanted to get stronger. ”
"There are many druids who have this kind of wish, and everyone has embarked on their own paths. Time slowly passed, and the strength of all of us slowly grew. Unfortunately, one of the most gifted druids fell in his quest for power, and he made a soul pact with an unknown demon to gain terrifying powers. ”
"I still remember that night vividly. Elendo, you can't imagine what a terrifying power it was, even a druid master could easily be torn in half by him. In the end, we spent a great deal of money to subdue him, but the whole village was in disarray. ”
"Because of this, several surviving masters at that time also quarreled because of this, and one of the masters left and never returned. Elendo, don't blame the Talon Masters, because when they were young, they saw their teacher or father torn to shreds by that fallen druid, and if it were you, I'm afraid they would ...... too."
Alendor nodded, he hadn't heard of this, but Elendor absolutely trusted Elder Black Bear, not to mention that Elder Black Bear didn't need to make up a story to deceive him.
Although it was dark in the room, Elder Black Bear seemed to be able to see Allendo's movements, and he spoke again: "Since then, we druids have had stricter rules in this regard, and even have a requirement of no more than 10 years of trial, because too long will let loneliness envelop the druid's body and mind, making it easier for them to choose the extreme path. ”
"I see what you mean. Elendor nodded again.
"I don't know how you got your strength, but, Elendor, when you let out the 'Beastmaster's Roar' just now, that tyrannical aura was very similar to that of the fallen druid back then, really resemblance. Elder Black Bear fell into deep thought as he said this.
After a long while, Elder Black Bear slowly recovered, he shook his head slightly, and continued, "But you and him have a lot of differences. At least under the ferocious attacks of the Talons, you have the upper hand but still don't kill him, and even grabbing Silver Leaf doesn't kill him. If your soul really falls, you will probably sacrifice their lives to demons with silver leaves. ”
"I didn't, Elder Black Bear. Elendor raised his voice, "My strength may be a little different from the traditional druid power, but it is all obtained by wandering between life and death countless times. If I can live better by improving my strength in this way, why should I change it?"
"You're still as stubborn as ever, Elendo. Elder Black Bear said lightly.
"But my heart is the same as before, Elder Black Bear. Alendor replied quietly.
"Looks like you've made up your mind. Elder Black Bear said.
Alendor nodded firmly again and said, "Yes, Elder Black Bear, I firmly believe that I have done nothing wrong. ”
"Maybe you're right, but, I'm sorry, Elendor, I'm responsible for the entire Druid tribe. ”
"It's okay, Elder Black Bear. The corners of Elendo's mouth curled slightly.
"I will declare you banished and stripped you of the title of Druid, and from this moment on, Elendo, you are no longer a glorious Druid warrior. Elder Black Bear gently pressed his chest and said, "You can go, your friends can stay, I promise that no one will discriminate against them." ”
Alendor stood up, saluted Elder Black Bear again, and then pushed open the door of the room without looking back and walked out, Elder Black Bear's old face looked even more haggard under the reflection of the bonfire outside the door, he sighed, stood up tremblingly, and whispered: "Is it right or wrong for me to do this? Perhaps, only time will tell?"
After leaving the house of the Black Bear Elder, Elendor strode towards the thatched hut where he had rested last night, and Brady and the three of them were already waiting there, Elendor smiled at them and said, "I'm leaving, and I'll never come back." You can stay, and the Black Bear Elders will help you. ”
Arthur and Jenny sat in the corner of the room, their eyes were full of fear when they looked at Elendo, and Brady was older after all, he still took the initiative to stand up and say hello to Elendo, but he still didn't dare to approach Elendor, obviously they were all frightened by Allendo's "Beastmaster Roar" just now.
Alendor nodded at Brady and turned to leave, but as soon as he reached the door, he saw Master Silverleaf push open the door and walk in.
Alendor bowed to Master Silverleaf and said, "I'm sorry just now!"
Master Silver Leaf didn't turn pale because he had been hit by Alendor a few times, he instead smiled and said to Allendo: "It's better for me to say thank you, at least you didn't tear down my old bones just now." ”
Elendor replied in a deep voice, "My killings will only be directed at the enemy. After saying this, Allendo nodded slightly towards Master Silverleaf and walked past him.
When Alendor left the house, he faintly heard the voice of the Silver Leaf Master in the room: "Are you called Jenny?
Alendor understood that this was probably the promise of Elder Black Bear, and since his return to his hometown this time was completed, it was time for him to leave quietly, and his trial journey, which he had been waiting for for 8 years, would come to an end tonight. Druid Elondo, no, the title will disappear forever tonight, and when the sun rises again and looks down on the earth, there will be only Mercenary Allen in this world.
Although this ending is not what Alendor wants, but he has a clear conscience, as for the grievances he suffered, it is nothing to him who has experienced countless life and death wanderings, not to mention that Alendor firmly believes that when he returns to Cassano, he will still have a good friend and a close lover waiting for him, no matter what he becomes in the future, they will not abandon him.
Looking back at the lights at the foot of the mountain in the distance, Alendor waved his hand lightly, as if saying goodbye to the carefree life of his childhood, and then turned and embarked on the other side of his life. It's just that no one saw it, and on the face of Alendor, who was walking alone in nature, a line of hot tears slowly flowed down and dripped on the land that gave birth to him.
