Chapter 14: The Kiss of Death
It didn't take long for Stianna to say, "There's a space ring here!"
She was referring to the skeleton of the lonely man leaning against the stone wall. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Stiena crouched down and picked up a ring on the ground to the right of the bones.
Looking at the appearance of Stianna carefully twisting the ring with two fingers, Chris couldn't help but laugh secretly, these elves have been dead for a long time, if it weren't for the fact that this cave is buried deep in the ground to isolate the erosion of wind and rain, after so many hundreds of years, the bones are afraid that there will not even be ashes left, at this time, it is completely unnecessary to fear that the filth on the bones will stain his hands, it can be seen that cleanliness is a mental illness at all, Chris replied: "Look at what is inside." ”
Once the Spatial Ring is separated from the owner's finger, it can be opened and used by others.
"Yes. Stianna replied.
She poured her spiritual power into the ring, and then fell to the ground.
In the commotion, a lot of things fell to the ground, a few small bottles, a pen, some change of clothes, towels, dozens of gold coins, some strange ornaments, a few magic crystals, half a magic wand, a paper cutter, and a notebook.
While controlling the wraiths in the air, Chris glanced back and said, "Notebook!"
"Hmm!" Stiena picked up the note from the ground and handed it to Chris.
"What do you do for me," said Chris, "you open it and see what's written in it." ”
Stiena nodded, walked out of the cave, and handed the notebook to Pandis.
Chris rolled his eyes, and he could see that it wasn't that Stiena didn't want to read the notes, she just didn't want to stay in this cave full of bones.
Pandis took the notebook, didn't refuse, flipped it open, looked at it a little and said softly, "It's a magic note." ”
Chris reminded, "Turn to the back and see!"
Pandis flipped to the end, looked at the firelight, sighed softly, turned back a few pages and said, "There is!"
She came to Chris with a magic notebook.
The bright yellow firelight flickered, and Chris simply reached for the notebook.
The outer layer of this notebook is wrapped in animal skin that has only been dehaired and polished, but the inner material is papyrus, which is different from the parchment used on the continent today, and it was only about 500 years ago that parchment began to be widely used for writing and recording, and before that, people used this kind of paper made of mosham.
The paper is made from the stems of a plant called moss, which are first peeled off from the hard green skin of the stems, then cut into thin slices, then soaked in water to remove the sugar, and then the long strips are placed side by side into one layer, and then covered with another layer, the two layers are perpendicular to each other. These flakes are spread evenly between two layers of linen and beaten with a mallet while they are wet, the two layers are pressed into one piece and the water is squeezed out, and then pressed on top with a stone or other weight, and after it dries, it is polished with a pumice stone to obtain the finished papyrus.
In the beginning, papyrus was used to roll papyrus into scrolls, and later for convenience, they were cut into sheets so that they could be made into manuscripts, and books appeared.
Papyrus is strong and durable, but it is not easy to preserve in a humid environment, and because it can only be written on one side of the paper, it is relatively heavy, and only some civilians still use it on the continent today, except for some painters who use it for painting.
Chris held a half-palm-thick magic notebook, and could clearly see the scribbled handwriting on the next few pages, he looked at it carefully, and whispered it out word by word:
“... The people can't resist... The escape began..."
“... There were a lot of people, fire, roars, cries, screams, roars... It's a mess, crowding and stampedes are happening... Everything came out so suddenly..."
“... There are too many enemies... Men were killed, women were knocked unconscious and taken away, swaddling children were thrown to the ground and trampled to death..."
“... The Masters of Darkness have appeared, and it's no wonder they've chosen the night to attack... Can't resist..."Chriss paused and asked, "Who is this 'Dark Master'?"
Pandis shook his head sadly: "I haven't heard of it either. She turned her head to look at Stiena inquiringly.
Stiena shook her head as well.
Chris put it aside for a moment and continued:
“... I was also injured and Conte rescued me... The seriously injured Kellies were found on the edge of the Green Lake, this damn Rod, actually injured Kelis, I already knew that he was not worthy of Kelis..."Chris stopped, this man actually met his former lover's family on the run, and he was still jealous, it seems that the elves are not as peaceful as they are in terms of emotional processing.
With a cough, Chris turned the next page:
“... Finally discovered... I don't have much magic left, and the wound in my lower abdomen is bleeding all the time... I'm dizzy, I don't think I should be dragging Conte and the Kelis family down..."
“... Master of Darkness... I know there's no one going to escape, and I can't imagine what it would be like for Kelis to be taken by them... Let's bury ourselves with that last bit of magic..."
The next handwriting was very sloppy, and Chris, after a moment's concentration, could guess what was going on.
The five elves were cornered, and the only elven mage desperately cast one last spell to blast the rocks behind him apart.
Maybe it's a coincidence, maybe it's the blessing of the elven goddess, they all survived, although they were buried under the rocks.
“... Conte was crushed under the stone and died not long after, and Kelis and Rod were also seriously injured, but Garland, the lucky little one, was protected by Rhodes and was unharmed..."
“... I could still hear the voices of the enemy outside, and I knew that they were not at ease, and they turned over a few stones before they gradually walked away. ”
“... Before he died, Rhodes actually smiled and said, "It's better to die together like this!" Kyliss cried, I wanted to cry too, but I couldn't cry in front of Kylis, in fact, I envied him very much, it was really uncomfortable to die slowly in such darkness..."
“... Carillis was comforting Garland, saying that someone would come to rescue everyone, but Garland was just crying, because she didn't believe it, yes, this little guy was a goblin, how could he fool her..."
“... I don't know how long it took in the dark, and I couldn't see any light at all... Kelis is looking for food... Neither did I..."
“... I heard the sound of weapons, Kyliss was just an ordinary person, and Rod's sword was too heavy for her... What is she doing..."
"'Vian, I'm sorry for you,' Kylis's kiss was cold, chilly, like a kiss of the dead, 'please give Garland a chance to live.' ’... I see, I do, come on, Kelis..."
“... It's just that my blood should have almost flowed, maybe with the blood of Kylis, it can be delayed for a little longer, blessed by the elven goddess..."
That's the end of the note. (To be continued.) )
