Chapter 135: April
Border, the small town of April. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
There are many places that can be called borders, such as the border between Edel and Spite in the Land of Wind, but that place is already under martial law due to the war, and it is full of temples and royal troops, and it is not Jerry's destination.
This is the border between the human kingdom and the unexplored world, and less than forty miles out of the town of April, is the ancient battlefield called the blood of heroes, a barren land sprinkled with blood and tears.
"I heard that in order to set fire to the Tower of Light to stabilize the border, tens of thousands of heroes were there to set fire to the Tower with their flesh and blood, blocking the endless monsters from the border......"
Ingrid recounted the stories she had just heard from the townspeople, and Rao sighed at the fact that she was always self-centered.
That story is indeed tragic enough, in the era when human beings opened up a vast territory, in order to survive, they could only march to the unknown chaos, and in the chaos there were terrible monsters that ordinary people could not resist.
Every step of human progress is a pouring of blood, a mixture of blood and tears, until the final battle of the ancient battlefield, tens of thousands of heroes ignited the fire, thus laying the boundaries of the human kingdom.
But Jerry had another version of the story in his head.
It is recorded in an ancient book he obtained from the Holy Light Library that the ancient battle did not only belong to human beings, but even among tens of thousands of heroes, human strength was not the strongest.
Elves, Feathered Men, Dwarves, Tieflins, Fennick...... They were once called Terrans along with humans. These races were still strong at the time, and they were not as rare and rare as they are today. They were also involved in that war, and played a crucial role, but then there was a fault in history, and after humans became the masters of the world, there was less and less information about them, and even the well-known history was seriously distorted.
Jerry automatically ignored Ingrid, who was obviously full of little stars and was obviously adventurous and not very moved, but glanced at Elena, who was obviously looking forward to it, but still deliberately pouting.
This girl has elven blood in her body, which makes the elven dream last on her far beyond the ordinary, at least for more than ten years, maybe even a lifetime.
But ten years from now, do you really want to bet on that possibility?
As Captain Mungo said, you will always wake up from a dream! the deeper you sink into it, the more you sink into it, and the real person will only become more vulnerable. Elena can't bear the pain of losing her loved ones now, and she will only be even more unbearable ten years later. And at that time, even if she gets another elven dream, it won't work for her.
It was in order to change this situation that Jerry finally found a solution after browsing the collection, and that solution was none other than Elena's own elven blood.
If Elena's elven bloodline can be effectively activated, so that she can truly control this power, then she will be able to remove the magical effects of the elven dream on her own under controlled circumstances.
Active disengagement and passive bearing are two completely different states.
The latter will only make her collapse in an instant after enjoying ten years of peace, while the former can make her see everything, including her dreams, including her own heart.
It's just that it's not easy to stimulate Elena's elven bloodline, and now that the real elven race has disappeared, and the secrets of her bloodline can't be revealed, those antiquities that still have the power of the elves are the only possibility.
The best way to find those artifacts is that they contain some of the Elven heritage, so that Elena can gain the means to activate and control the Elven bloodline. But this kind of opportunity can be met but not sought, and relatively speaking, another situation is more realistic, that is, directly using the power contained in those elven antiquities.
Feeling the power to get the power, controlling the power and using the power, this is a bit like the cultivation method of human beings, but it is also a method after all.
Jerry glanced at Elena, although it was the other party's own decision to use the elven dream, but at that time, he actually hoped that Elena could use it, because he couldn't watch an originally optimistic and cheerful girl despair or even ...... Commit suicide.
So, he's going to change.
Now that the elven dream has passed through his hand on Elena's body, then he also has to finish the matter and let Elena wake up from this dream safely.
"Huh!
Elena noticed Jerry's gaze and turned her head away angrily.
Jerry was speechless for a while, and said with a wry smile: "Didn't I take you with me to crusade against the Demon Shadow, and you are still angry after so long?"
Elena pouted and muttered, "But you took Ingrid with you, how can I compare to her?"
When Jerry left Elena in Webster City during the Lion Legion's crusade against the Shadow, it was this incident that made the little girl feel that the teacher was biased, and she lost her temper until now.
"Hey, I'm better than you!"
Ingrid, who thought she was innocent, shook her small fist, but Elena just puffed up her chest, and the princess-like girl immediately bowed her head and turned around, immersed in the shadows.
Who made her look like an underage princess in a certain part of her......
Jerry said helplessly: "I didn't take her with me, she went with her." ”
"That'...... That ......"
Elena hesitated, plucked up her courage and said, "Then I will secretly follow you wherever you go from now on!"
"No! don't follow secretly!"
Jerry refused rather dryly, and Elena's eyes instantly turned red.
Suddenly, Jerry shook his head and said, "I'll take the initiative to take you with me in the future." ”
"Really?"
"Of course!"
"Yay—"
Elena immediately turned cloudy and clear, and her expression became definitely faster than the weather.
And even Ingrid, who seemed to have been hit by some kind of blow, jumped over and gave Elena a cheerful high-five.
“......”
Jerry felt a little confused for a moment, he finally realized that he was a human being in two lives, but he still didn't understand the creature of women, their turn of events was really cloudy.
But there is one thing he can see, in fact, Elena has already seen that she has untied the knot, but she can't wipe her face and take the initiative to speak, and now she is actually turning the page while he brings it up, of course he has to follow the other party.
The town of Aprile is called a small town, but it is much larger than many smaller cities in the interior. It is said that the kingdom once tried to elevate April to the rank of city, but was rejected by the mayor, Baron Miranda, and the town's natives.
That's right, the mayor of April, Miranda, is a woman and a baron officially knighted by King Edel, and the town of April, which is now her fiefdom, is said to have a mysterious nickname called the High Swordsman.
Jerry was naturally very curious about this rare female baron in Edel's history, and he was still very interested if he was lucky enough to meet him. However, he had to meet another person before he could meet the baroness, and that was the main purpose of his visit to this town, in addition to finding elven artifacts for Elena.
Boom!
Jerry, who was immersed in thought, was suddenly hit in the face by something, but it was not painful and soft.
"Are you alright?"
A very gentle and nice voice rang out.
