Chapter 15: Attachment in the depths of the soul
―――――― if your blood is still flowing, then, for the love of your heart, go to the risk of fighting for once. Pen%Fun%Pavilion www.biquge.info Don't be afraid of the price. Love always comes at a great cost to render.
In one of the corridors of the palace, with its whitish maple floors, you can see at intervals a low honey-colored stone block about half a meter high against the milky white stone wall, most of which are placed with precious antiques from the old age, and the walls are frescoed in a classical style, and the bright sunlight shines through the magic curtain wall on the other side, and the whole corridor is shrouded in bright light.
After a few moments, Hya and Hex entered the hallway. Hex is in front, Heya is in the back.
At this moment, Haiya looked a little impatient, and the thin wings behind her loomed.
"Princess?" Hex stopped suddenly.
"Huh?" Hya looked up, and his eyes reflected Hex's back. The back was as tall as ever, like a mythical titan giant, but its shoulders were slightly lower than usual.
"Princess, are the elders really going to choose their Highness through the athletic conference?" asked Hex, his tone cautious.
"Uncle, they never joke about the future of the water tribe. Hya was noncommittal, and she walked around Hex.
"So, princess, may I ask you for one thing?" Hex's gaze went straight through the long hallway, as if looking into the unknown distance.
Haya brushed shoulders with him and stopped a few paces away.
"What's wrong?" Hya didn't look back, "Could it be that you want to participate too?"
Hex was dumbfounded.
"I can't really guess it, Hex, I advise you to forget it. Haiya frowned, she felt strange, this was not her heart, but it was spit out of her throat.
Hex's straight body stiffened, and he tilted his head, his gaze wandering to the scenery outside the palace.
All the corridors of the castle are milky white stone walls on one side, and blue stone walls with water magic on the other side, and the blue stone walls are transparent, just like the other side of the corridor is installed with huge glass windows, you can directly see the white clouds and seabirds passing by outside the wall, but from the outside, it is a solid solid king wall!
The palace sits on a hill in the middle of the waters of Barnard Bay, above all the buildings of the capital city, and the hill is so steep that it is almost vertical and almost impossible to enter except for the stone corridor. Therefore, only high-level elves are qualified to enter this palace.
"Princess ......"
Hex's voice was hoarse, his fists clenched together.
"Hex, don't be overpowered, you know, uncle, what he meant about holding this conference, and the little guy who always got me in trouble would go. In fact, the result is obvious - the Xenowater Palace is a dangerous place after all, and if you don't reach the Central Valley safely in the first place, you may encounter danger and injury, or even lose your life. When Haiya said this, she didn't care about the stunned Hex, and walked away.
Lost his life?!Hex froze in place.
It turned out that all this was just a huge "gift" set up to welcome a highness who could control the future of the water tribe? Elder he really ......
Hahaha, after a long time, Hex burst into a burst of laughter, and his whole body trembled with laughter.
He laughed uncontrollably, his lonely laughter echoing through the hallway.
At the end of the laugh, as if all his strength had been withdrawn, Hex's body slid down softly, leaning against the magic curtain wall, and the corners of his mouth finally hooked up a miserable smile.
"Even so, princess, I can't help it, I can't ......help it," Hex raised his palms, under the sunlight, it could be seen that the green veins were distinct, and the blood of the elves was still flowing vividly, "It's not that you don't know, I like you...... I've liked you for a long time...... No matter how terrible that place is, even if it is going to die, how can I be afraid of it for you!"
Behind it, separated by a thin layer of magic curtain wall, is the abyss.
Since he is still stepping on the bright and magnificent palace ground, then he is still qualified to fight, and the winner or loser is still undecided! He has liked the princess for so many years, and if he wants him to give it up directly, then simply deprive him of his elf heart! Even if it is not possible, I will give it a try! Otherwise, how can I be willing!
But why?
Why is it so difficult to even like you!
......
"Do you want to win?" a distant incantational cry came.
Hex jerked his head up, and a fist-sized super-small elf with white wings and pointy ears fluttering in front of his eyes. The only shocking thing is that its pupils are light gray, as if the intertwined threads of life and death, dark and powerless but hopeless, such a sacred elf, I remember when I was a child and that guy sneaked into the forbidden place of the palace library, I accidentally saw it in the ancient book, it was the legendary holy elf guide!
Hex's pupils dilated suddenly!
"Can you help me?" asked Hex, in a trembling voice.
Hex was shocked by the sudden appearance of the Holy Elf.
"I just love trading. "The dumplings float in the air gracefully, looking very pleasant.
"You can take what I have, as long as you can win. Hex's teeth chattered, and his fists clenched tightly.
"If you have it, I must need it?" Dango's voice was soft, but full of intimidation.
Hex was stunned, his brown eyes dimmed, and his original joy was swept away.
But things took a turn for the worse.
"Help you. Sign a contract. ”
Dango muttered a string of incantations, and a parchment roll suddenly appeared in the air, on which were half-elf, half-goblin words written by a quill pen, and the contract slowly descended to level with Hex's forehead.
"Sign it, and you'll have a new bloodline, a hundred times more powerful than you have now. Dango smiled, and the quill floated quietly to Hex's hand.
Hex couldn't wait to grab the pen and was about to sign his name when Tuanzi changed his words: "The price is that your soul will always belong to the king of the clan who borrowed your power, and as for the skin of the elves, you can dispose of it yourself, and it will be a favor." ”
Hex's two fingers twitched as he slowly lowered the pen.
"I don't even have a soul, so what's the point of me winning. He laughed miserably.
If only he had stopped the princess half a month ago and hadn't gone to the Devil's Forest, he would still be able to hide his careful thoughts as before, and he could still keep watching her and messing around with her to make her happy. But now, everything will change, and his princess will have a sweetheart......
And he's getting to the point where he's crazy for power.
The price of this deal was almost unbearable for him! He would live forever under the control of that dark contract!
You know, this is a terrible torture for an elf who is proud of his elf identity.
"There is no soul, but your appearance is still an elf, if you choose to stay in this water, maybe you will be the winner, maybe your highness the waters, but if you don't seize the opportunity and give up the trade, you will never be able to raise your head in front of that princess in your life." The bloodline determines the star level, the life of heaven is determined, you want to change, don't go against the sky, do you think, is it possible?"
In the last few sentences, Tuanzi smiled playfully, he was half black and half white, like a devil, and seemed to be an angel.
If there is no princess, what is the joy of life, and what is the fear of death?
"I accepted it. Hex's heart was sudden, his gaze was determined, and in a matter of seconds he had finished his last stroke, the parchment paper glowed golden, and then slowly turned into particles and disappeared into the air.
"O great king, submit this contract, may you have more power!" said the dango in a loud voice, as reverent as the people of the ancient sacrifices.
Looking at the strange and mysterious ball, Hex whispered, "Is it okay?"
He would have been a good boy.
"It's yours, drink it and you'll get what you want. "Your well-deserved future. Tuanzi flapped his wings and flashed in space a few times, and his body turned into nothingness.
"But why did you choose me, my lord......" Hex was stunned at the vanished ball.
No one responded, but a crystal triangular vial containing a purple alchemy potion appeared out of thin air and fell into Hex's hand, which clutched it tightly.
If I am destined not to get you, instead of looking up to you all the time, I should use everything I have to fight as hard as I can, even if it is only for you to turn back once, Hex swore secretly in his heart.
Anyone who dares to gamble his life for his ideals, Tuanzi is the most appreciated.
There is a reason why it will help, but fundamentally it has its own agenda. It's not good for Siga to do this, but it's good for him to take the opportunity to practice.
What is a winner is simply its nonsense, what it gives is just the powerful power of a certain curse, in order to lay out the last chess piece before the start on that chessboard. Hex's future has long since tended to be a unique prophecy that fits with the Aquarium
The palace has a tower room, which is very luxuriously decorated.
The ancient stone arches are the most conspicuous of the room, with mosaic-trimmed mirrors from floor to ceiling height, with sumptuous Moroccan tiles, Neapolitan antiques on vintage Neapolitan furniture, wall decorations everywhere, white marble floors, and ornate knitted carpets. In the gold-plated glass-door cabinet, wines, wines, and white wines of various ages are neatly placed.
In such a luxurious room, who else is qualified to stay here except for the chief patriarch of the water tribe.
"Hex, do you want to participate too?" Hai Lishante showed a puzzled expression, but the fine lines on his face did not tense.
Behind the huge ochre crystal table, he slowly leaned back in the red leather swivel chair behind him.
"Yes, Elder, please give me a chance. Hex's expression was very sincere.
"Well, I'm afraid it's not good, does Haiya know?"
"Elder, this is my personal decision, it has nothing to do with the princess, I think I should have the right to participate, after all, I am one of the members of the waters, and I have met all the conditions on the proclamation, I hope you can also approve it, Elder." Hex pleaded again, his words sounding as if there was no reason not to agree.
"But, Hex, you should know that you are the princess's personal bodyguard, and you participate in the competition, in case there are three longs and two shorts, I can't explain it to Haiya, she trusts you so much. ”
Hai Lishante waved his hand, and an attendant came up, and on the right hand side of his table, there was a special area for wine glasses.
The attendant carefully held the rare red wine and silently poured the bright red wine liquid into the crystal clear wine glass.
Hailishante shook the crystal glass, and the color of the red wine was almost dripping blood.
I don't know when he became so addicted to alcohol.
"In this regard, I think you must have a more suitable candidate than me, Elder. "Didn't you just want to get me away a long time ago, Hex was secretly amused.
When I was a child, when the princess of the palace was elected, I was obviously the second place, and the first place was the elf who was personally recommended and favored by Hai Lishante, but later, he was still taken by mistake, because there was help from the water monster in the middle, but for this matter, Hai Lishante probably still blew his beard and stared at him for a long time.
"Since Hex, if you insist on it, I won't say anything, I'll just assume that I don't know anything. Hai Lishan took a small sip of red wine, and his face was full of intoxication.
"Thank you, Elder, then Hex will go to the Names Office. Hex bowed in standard and stepped out.
In the large and empty room, there was only the sound of red wine in the stomach, and there was an imperceptible smile on Hai Lishante's face full of fine lines.
"Finally, is it time to start? ”
Hex waved his name in a dashing manner at the name office, and that stroke used up his strength.
Luckily, I caught up with it before the final end!
After that, the whole body relaxed, it was time to go to the princess, after so long, I didn't follow her, she should look for me.
Hex smiled, shook his shoulders, and stretched his muscles.
When he turned around, he found that it was Haiya standing behind him.
Haiya's face has always been as white as snow, and even more so at this moment, she pursed her lips tightly, revealing a pure and proud temperament.
"Princess?" Hex asked with concern as he approached Haya.
"Let's go, it's time for the banquet, and Uncle is going to announce it. Haiya said softly.
Hex didn't feel a tremble in his voice, he didn't think about why Heya was here all of a sudden, he was now just filled with enthusiasm for the competition, and he didn't think much about anything else.
He followed Haiya to the corridor leading to the dinner, the gorgeous red wool carpet, on which his white feet stepped on, and there was a faint feeling of softness and comfort from the heart, but Haiya was unconscious.
Just tonight, Helisante is about to start that game.
Everything is as fast as possible, and no one can afford to waste time.
Hailishante has always been a man of action.
Just now, Heyer's brain flashed for a moment as he saw Hex's white, powerful arm solemnly writing his name, merging with the water element, as if it were one, and blending his own blood with it.
Hex looked back at the casual inquiry, he was really unaccustomed to it, he seemed to hate it, but his reaction was flat and the same as something.
Haiya walked indifferently, she was a princess, she knew what to ask and what she didn't need to care, this was etiquette, as a princess of the water tribe, she knew that it was inviolable. But maybe she didn't know, didn't know if Hex knew what kind of battle it was going to be.
