Chapter 8: The Night Elf Sif
Night has fallen. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
It was a night without the moon and without the stars.
Xia Yu sat quietly on top of a dark green hill, countless flickering fireflies surrounding him.
He was distracted by a newly piled bag of dirt, the tomb he had built for Yulia with his hands.
There was no tombstone, only a small white flower placed in front of the grave, Xia Yu couldn't name the bouquet, and when he looked at them, Yulia's clear face would always appear in front of him.
Xia Yu finally regained her inner peace, and the painful and uneasy throbbing seemed to be buried with Yulia's burial.
When Xia Yu closed his eyes, he seemed to see that in the depths of his soul, two flames were intertwined, forming a disc that was half golden and half red, slowly rotating.
As time passed, the two flames showed a hint of merging.
"It's time to leave...... Xia Yu stood up, now he can only move forward, whether it is as the Immortal King or as Xia Yu Crimson, he can only choose to move forward and keep moving forward.
If he does not move, he will be greeted only by destruction.
"Are you leaving?" When Xia Yu turned around, an inaudible soft female voice came from behind him.
Xia Yu's figure suddenly froze, and he turned back in disbelief.
"Yulia!?"
Exclamations of surprise floated on the silent hillside, but this was only Xia Yu's imagination after all, there was nothing behind him, only the whisper of the night wind, and the flying fireflies.
Xia Yu smiled helplessly, at that moment, he really thought that Yulia was alive, or rather, he hoped that Yulia could come back to life.
But miracles don't happen.
"Are you really leaving?" a soft female voice came again, only this voice became clearer.
Xia Yu was convinced, this was definitely not an auditory hallucination.
The voice came from the back of the tomb, Xia Yu's heart beat violently, this was not Yulia's voice, on this empty mound, could there really be someone else?
Xia Yu didn't answer, he quietly walked around the back of the tomb.
"Are you really leaving......?" the voice cried.
Under the faint light emitted by the fireflies, Xia Yu finally saw the owner of the voice clearly.
This is...... Xia Yu's chest rose and fell violently, and she saw a miniature figure as small as the palm of her hand, leaning on Yulia's grave with her face covered and crying.
Behind the villain, there are two pairs of silky transparent wings, and if you look closely, the villain seems to be dressed in some emerald green leaves, but it has been carefully cut into a very eye-catching thin shirt.
Judging from the villain's slender limbs and slightly protruding chest, this seems to be a woman, and the slightly curly silver-white hair hangs down to the villain's waist, which highlights this fact even more.
"Sister Yulia...... Woo...... Sister Yulia...... "The more the villain cries...... the more sad he becomes, and he can't even catch his breath." This emotion was so sad, just listening to Xia Yu was about to be infected and shed tears together.
Xia Yu, who didn't know how to be good, had to stand in place at a loss, silently watching the villain crying.
After about half an hour, the villain finally stopped crying, and a green plant like a small boat burrowed out of the soil at a slow but unnatural speed, lifting the villain's body, and the villain curled up like a baby, I don't know if he was tired of crying and ready to fall asleep.
"That ......" Xia Yu finally spoke, he couldn't stand so stupidly all the time, and the villain seemed to be completely ignoring his existence.
The villain jumped up as if she had been pricked by a needle, she looked at Xia Yu in astonishment, and at this time, Xia Yu finally saw the villain's face clearly:
The two big watery eyes were still full of tears, and the surroundings were red, and the pupils shining like emeralds clearly reflected Xia Yu's shadow; A delicate little mouth carved into the pointed chin, a row of white teeth clenching the lower lip, and two long ears on either side of the head hung down in frustration, looking extremely cute.
"It's all you, it's all because of you, Sister Yulia...... Woo woo woo woo ...... "As soon as the villain saw Xia Yu, he was reminded of the sadness in his heart again, and he cried loudly.
"I'm sorry, it's all my fault. Xia Yu squatted in front of the villain, and carefully touched the villain's back with a finger.
"Are you Yulia's friend?"
"Yes, woo......" The villain tried to steady his voice, but it was still difficult to say a whole sentence.
When Xia Yu wanted to say something more, the little guy suddenly grabbed Xia Yu's fingers and bit them very hard.
The pain in the heart came from Xia Yu's fingertips, but he didn't make a sound, nor did he dodge, just squatted there quietly, letting the villain bite hard.
After half a ring, seeing that Xia Yu did not resist, the villain stopped venting, she finally stopped crying, and wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with her little hands.
"Who are you?" Seeing that the villain's mood seemed to calm down a bit, Xia Yu asked softly.
"Sif, my name is Sif Doan, a night elf from the forests of eternal night in the far east. ā
Xia Yu was taken aback, the night elf race, he had only heard of it by chance when he lived in the upper area, but what he didn't expect was that he could be able to give him a glimpse of the true face at this time.
Sif sucked her little nose hard, and continued:
"Six years ago, I came to the City of Glory, what you call the Ancient City of Ruins, and since then I have lived with Sister Yulia, who does not treat me as an envoy, but as her closest person. ā
ā...... I couldn't stop Sister Yulia's choice, so I followed her to the Pioneer Quarry, and after that, I used magic to cover up her true face, and was always responsible for delivering messages to Sister Yulia. ā
I see, no wonder Yulia was able to grasp so much information, it turned out to be the credit of this little guy. Xia Yu thought silently.
"Maybe it's some bad premonition, Sister Yulia took me away a few days ago, but what I didn't expect was that this was the last time I saw her......"
Sif said this, and his eyes turned red again.
"I know it's a bit out of place to ask this. Xia Yu said eagerly, "Can you tell me more about Yulia, I want to know more about her past." ā
"No...... It's better not to know now. Sif thought for a moment and rejected Xia Yu's request.
Xia Yu fell silent, he wanted to ask further, but when he saw Sif with a sad appearance, he couldn't open his mouth.
"If you are a strong man, I will definitely tell you everything, obviously inherited the core of the first fire, but it is very strange that you are so weak, what is Sister Yulia's sacrifice for. ā
Hearing Sif's reprimand, Xia Yu was speechless.
After the core of the original fire and the power of the source fire in his body began to merge, that powerful force had completely disappeared. But what was very surprising was that Xia Yu's bottleneck of the second order of the junior magic card master, which had been insurmountable for many years, had miraculously broken through.
Now, by the standards of the Immortal City, Xia Yu has become a third-order junior magic card master.
This means that Xia Yu already has the minimum conditions to be able to use rare-level magic cards.
But after seeing the overwhelming power of Abigail and Yulia, this should have been a happy thing, but Xia Yu couldn't be happy.
Seeing Xia Yu's depressed face, Sif also realized that her words were a little heavy, "Forget it, I shouldn't blame you for it, this was originally Yulia's sister's decision, and you seem to have accepted this fate, I should thank you for her." ā
Speaking of this, Sif spread her wings, flew in front of Xia Yu, and bowed vigorously.
"I'm sorry. ā
"No...... It's okay, you're right. Xia Yu hurriedly waved his hand, "I'm really too weak, but you have to understand, I don't feel like I've been forced on something." ā
"What do you mean. ā
"After the Burning Legacy, something that had been sleeping in my veins awakened. Xia Yu put his right hand on his chest, raised his head and looked up at the endless darkness of the sky, and said solemnly:
"I don't think it's a fate imposed on me, it's my responsibility!"
Looking at Xia Yu's serious eyes, Sifu felt a little relieved.
Sister Yulia, there is nothing wrong with the person you chose.
"It's decided!" Sif clenched his left hand into a small fist and slammed it Xia Yu's head.
"From today onwards, I will be your guardian! I will be responsible for your cultivation in the future!"
Xia Yu's mouth grew in surprise.
"Is it okay?" Sif showed a pitiful look again, as if she was extremely afraid of being rejected by Xia Yu.
Xia Yu shook his head and said, "No, what I have to face is a very cruel future, I want to go down alone, I don't want to involve anyone." ā
Sif shook her head slightly angrily.
"It seems that I have been underestimated by you, the night elves are very good at concealment and natural magic, although they can't compete head-on with the strong among you humans, but in terms of your current strength, they are far inferior to mine. ā
Sif closed her eyes, her arms crossed over her chest, her head raised slightly, and a melodious song of unknown language came out of her mouth.
It's a beautiful ballad, a beautiful mood that is indescribable in words, and even the best singers in mankind can't sketch it.
Xia Yu was a little intoxicated by such a moving singing voice for a while.
As if echoing Sif Sever's song, there were several soft sounds from beneath the earth, and more than a dozen thorny vines emerged from the dirt and gradually enveloped Yulia's grave, and they gathered together to form a verdant barrier.
The song came to an abrupt end, and all the vines wrapped around Yuria's grave vanished, leaving only a piece of dirt that was indistinguishable from the surroundings.
"The Illusory Vine can blend in with the environment and cover up the things it is entangled with. Siv landed on Xia Yu's shoulder and said softly.
Sister Yulia, your wish is to sleep in such a peaceful place, and Sif will not let anyone disturb you.
Xia Yu looked at all this in surprise, in Sif's singing, he felt a powerful magic power, it was a power that did not belong to human beings, but it was so harmonious with nature, compared to it, the power of the source fire was much more savage, as if it was rudely governing the laws of this world.
"Let's go. Sif glanced at the place where Yulia was resting and said reluctantly.
"Where to go. ā
"Secret base, now you, no matter where you go, you will be sent to death, as Puyu, you have to be tempered well. ā
