【Redemption】Section 3 Wally (II)
After entering the Selim district, I felt as if I was in a fairyland, the air was filled with the fragrance of flowers, everywhere was full of clouds, the birds and beasts, the flowing water, and the outside separated by a wall were completely two worlds, and the elves in the city also exuded a noble and extraordinary aura all over their bodies. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info I saw a female elf in a pure white dress leaning against the trunk of a tree by the river, a blue bird perched on her fingertips, her long golden hair draped over her shoulders, gently caressed by the breeze, and for a moment I thought I saw a god. Upon entering the tower of Serim, I met the elven royal family in charge of the city of Elton, who wore a crown of various gems, and several rings on his hand, each of which had gems of different colors shining brightly, and he was draped in a large and heavy and ornate robe, the back of which was dragged to the ground, and a very delicate sword with a green glow in silver and white hanging from his waist. He is said to be a prince of the Elven royal family, and the main cities of the entire continent of Shimo are ruled by princes, dukes, or viscounts of the royal family, and there are now several new cities in the continent of Kaos.
After I knelt before him surrounded by a crowd of guards, he began to ask me about the mines as tirelessly as the elves who had asked me questions, and he finally gave up after I didn't know how many times he stressed that he knew nothing. After confirming that I really didn't know anything, he personally offered me a new job, saying that if I agreed to it, I would get a better remuneration, and my wife and children would be taken care of by them, so that we could live more comfortably and securely in Volker. But if I don't agree to the job, he will imprison my wife and children and send me to a remote area. He offered me the job of being an "executioner", that is, their butcher and executioner, helping them to kill the humans who had offended them, and who did not want to dirty their own hands, to help them kill my people. He gave me some strength in order to make me better able to do my new job. He just put his finger on my shoulder, and my arm began to grow thicker and stronger, and I could easily punch through a wall, or even crush a person's head, and I became a veritable "stone arm".
As a proof of my loyalty, he ordered a human to be brought in, an accomplice of the man who had broken into the Celem district and had been in the ashes, and he had been shouting slogans such as "For Freedom" when he was brought in, but he could no longer make a sound when the elven prince glared at him. I recognized him as a guy I had seen on patrol in Volcker before, but he didn't recognize me. The prince told me that he had been stirring up emotions in Volker with the intention of causing chaos, that he was a thug who wanted to break the peace and good life, and that he needed me, the "executioner", to execute him in order to show the majesty of the royal family and maintain the peace of the whole city of Elton. For the sake of my wife and children, I knew I had no choice, so I took the man to the square in the Volker district, and crushed his throat with my own hands under the watchful eye of many royal elves and a large number of fellow humans. It was the first time I had killed my fellow human with my own hands, but it wouldn't be the last. That night, I had a nightmare in which the female elf I had seen during the day, whom I had thought for a moment was a god, turned her head towards me, her angelic face instantly turned into a demon, her fangs dripping with blood and roaring at me, and in her hand was the head of the human rebel whom I had slain, and the head suddenly opened its eyes and repeated "traitor, traitor" to me......
Later, under their compulsion, I personally killed two or three of my fellow human beings, all of whom were accused of rebellion. Seeing so many humans rebelling against the rule of the elves, I began to realize that not all the people in the city were happy, and at that time I thought that it was because they were too greedy in the city and wanted to pursue a better life, so they would rebel, but my dull brain did not know that this was a precursor to a storm.
The day the "storm" hit, it was also the day my world collapsed.
Early that morning, I received an order to re-enter Serimta for a new mission, and I watched the back of Jonas running to the church dedicated to mankind in Volker fade from my vision, and then I turned back and kissed my gentle wife Tova and walked towards the center of the city, never imagined that this would be the last time I would see my wife and children.
Having already received the royal approval, I easily passed through the barrier of the gate. After entering the Celem district, I noticed that the elves' faces became a little strange, as if they were a little mysterious in their excitement, since I had been here before, I was familiar with the route to the tower, and walked straight to the room where the elven prince had last seen me, but strangely there were no guards along the way. I remember the last time I came, there was a guard protecting the royal family almost every few steps, but now they all seemed to have disappeared. When I came to the door of that room, I suddenly heard a voice from inside, and I didn't rush in, but leaned my ear on the door and eavesdropped for a while, and I vaguely heard someone inside say something "Something found!" "Very good, let's do what we planned tonight." "While I was still wondering what they had found and what they were going to do tonight, the door opened. The elven guard who had led us to Elton City came out of it, and I immediately pretended not to know anything, and he looked at me and left, and as he left, I vaguely saw him smiling, the kind of smile I had seen from the elves' faces when I first entered Elton City, that kind of contemptuous mockery, but I thought there was something else in his smile, but it was beyond my brain's power to find out what he meant.
When the guard had gone, the prince of the royal family, who was sitting in the room, motioned for me to come in, and when I got closer, I found that there were far fewer guards in the room than the last time. Unlike the last time I was brought to my knees, he actually sat me down on the stone chair in front of him, and he said a bunch of formal polite words thanking me for my assistance to their royal family these days, and for my contribution to the peace of Elton City, and he said that now they learned that a man had been secretly gathering forces in a vain attempt to stir up tension between elves and humans. He said that the man was going to cause an explosion in Volker District, when a large number of human civilians would be killed, and he intended to put the blame for the incident on the Elven royal family in order to provoke a popular revolt. He said that if he succeeded, my wife and children living in Volker District would be harmed, and the conflict between humans and elves would be out of control, so he wanted me to find the person behind the conspiracy and kill him to ensure that people lived in peace.
Thinking that Tova and Jonas might be affected, I accepted his assignment without thinking. I asked him who the man was, and he said he didn't know either, all he knew was that the man had a cross-shaped scar on the right side of his head and that his hair was blonde. Knowing this information, I left Serimta and began to search for the man's whereabouts, because the lives of my wife and children were threatened, and I forgot all the things I had overheard, focusing only on the man who was about to cause chaos. I put all my energy into looking for him, but I only knew this bit of information, such a big city, where to find it in the vast sea of people? I went from morning to evening, and walked around the nine districts to no avail, just when I was at a loss, he sent it to the door himself.
It was as I was walking out of a small alley with no one around and the sun was about to set, when I was stopped from behind. When I turned around, I saw a man with short blond hair trotting towards me, looking very anxious—
"Wally, wait......" He paused as he ran up to me and asked, "Your name is Wally, right?"
"Yes, I'm Wally Stonearm, are you?"
"My name is Reeth Green, and like you, I'm a human living in Volker, and I'm calling you because it's urgent and I need your help. ”
"What do you need my help with?" I asked.
"I heard that you have the approval of those elven royal families to enter the Celem District, right?"
"That's right, what do you want to do?"
"I need you to bring us all into the Cerlim district. ”
"We?" I looked around, making sure it was just me and him.
"I have recruited a group of like-minded people to fight against the oppressive rule of the elves, both outside Elton and in Volker. We just need you to help us put this thing on the walls on both sides of the gate in the Cerlim district, and it will break that spell barrier and allow us to enter the Cerlim district and take control of the elven royal family. He said as he handed over two black objects.
"You ...... If you want to rebel, aren't you afraid of hurting the innocent?" I didn't take what he handed me, and when I heard him talk about rebellion, I began to guess something.
"As long as we can overthrow the rule of those elves, sacrifice is sometimes inevitable, and each of us has already realized death!" he twisted his neck inadvertently, and then I saw the cross-shaped scar on the right door of his head.
"It's you! You're the one who wants to cause chaos and cause an explosion, you're the one who puts the lives of my wife and children at risk!" I clenched my fists at the thought that he would sacrifice so many people's lives in order to cause conflict.
"What are you talking about? If you don't hurry up, it's too late! Some of my men have already assembled outside the city, and they will attack before I give the order, if they don't do it......" I can no longer know what he said later, for I instantly burst his head with my big hands, and the two things in his hands fell to the ground with his death, and I crushed them with one kick.
"Don't ever want to hurt my family!" I tossed his body aside, just as the sun set completely.
When the last rays of the sun disappeared in the sky, a strong blue-purple light emanated from the top of the Serim Tower in the center of the city, and the light instantly covered the entire Elton City, as if a blue-purple curtain covered the entire city, making people feel oppressive and breathless. I felt strange and worried about my family's situation, so I started walking towards Volker, which was almost on the other side of Marruth, and I walked for a while to reach the dividing line of Volcker, and the blue-purple light did not dissipate during this time, which made me feel that something was wrong. When I walked to the high wall that divided the area, I noticed that hundreds of elven guards had built several human walls around the wall, and that's when I realized where the guards who had disappeared during the day had gone, and who had guarded every passage to Volker's district, and no one was allowed to pass. Just as I was about to ask what had happened, a sudden shock caused me to fall to the ground, and then I saw a black light falling from the sky, enveloping the whole Volker district, and I saw the houses, trees, and people in the black light, all sucked into the air by some force, and then saw the houses first break into pieces, then into powder, and finally into nothingness, and watched the trees disappear before my eyes, and watched the people scream in terror and then annihilate, as if they had never existed.
The whole process lasted for two hours, and after two hours, the black light disappeared, and the blue-purple light that enveloped Elton City shrank back towards Serimta. The elven guards cleared the way when the light faded, and I walked over to find that the Volker district, which had once had many houses and many humans, was now nothing, and under my feet was a piece of loess, and all I could see was the high wall of the boundary of the area. All the humans who inhabited the city were wiped out by them, along with the entire Volker district, and this was what they called "tonight's plan", this was what they did with what they "found", and this was the truth of what Reth Green called "they did it". I couldn't find the bodies of Tova and Jonas because they disappeared like everything else in the area, I don't know what I was thinking, I don't remember how I got out, I just knew I staggered all the way to Elton City and joined up with the rebels outside the city who had been waiting for a signal from Reth Green. I told them that Rhys was dead, that all the humans in the city were dead, that I was the only one who had survived, and that death was so difficult for me.
I swear to them that I will carry on the legacy of Reth Green and lead them down the path of rebellion against the elves, because this is my only salvation.
