Chapter 37: A New Partner

The Valley of the Eagle has endured years of peace, and the people have been so committed to its peace and well-being that they have for a moment ignored the dark currents that are surging in the distance.

The Cloud Hunter sighed softly, and there was a hint of melancholy in his eyes.

"What will be the end of the glory of mankind with, and what will it go away for?" he pondered silently, and the setting sun fused his body with a layer of luxurious gold.

"At least, the unswerving ambition of the Gray Valley family will inevitably bring a better future to some human beings..."

At the same time, the castle was brightly lit, and Lord Hayes declared that he had set up a grand banquet for Ruoya's return, and the hall was crowded with nobles who wanted to see Ruoya's peerless face when he had grown up.

So much so that the Cloud Hunter Hunter, who was standing alone on the top of the mountain and refused to attend the feast, seemed to be a lonely person like the "Forsaken".

"Is it over? What a good ending!, Guardian of the Valley of the Greys...", he raised the corners of his mouth rather proudly and looked into the distance, "That enigmatic cloud in the distance, may you rain down soon, just over the Valley of the Eagles." ”

Seven months later, the touching reunion of the Valley of the Eagles is long gone, and beneath the majestic Falling Sword Mountain, deep underground, in the Sword God's secret chamber, the noble Silverwing Prince and the astute pirate are still by each other's side.

"It's just a group of ancient savage warriors who can build such a spectacle underground. You and I should be proud to be in it. Peter said lazily, "Even the sky above me has not fallen a drop of rain for so long." ”

Ai Suyan looked at Petqi, who was holding a book in his hand and chattering while yawning, and couldn't help but laugh softly: "Indeed, like you, I am also happy to be in this masterpiece of ancient ancestors. But don't forget, I'm the master here, and only I can take you out of here. ”

Peterch squinted his eyes, and his expression seemed to be quite disdainful: "Alas, yes, too, a rigid swordsman like you has very simple ideas, and naturally he will not understand the pressure I am shouldering." Then he looked away and looked straight at the sky.

Ai Suyan didn't say a word, but carefully plucked a few dark blue berries from the grass beside him, this berry was extremely moist, and the skin shone with a little crystalline light.

He poured it into his mouth with an indescribable pleasure and satisfaction in his expression.

At this time, Peterch turned his head again: "I heard that all the creatures here, except for you and me, have been blessed by magic, which makes their bodies never grow old, and their souls will never rot. That's what I read in a book here, and you know why?"

"You're a voracious reader, much like me. Ai Suyan reached out and brushed the silver hair in front of his forehead, and began to recall the fragments from the book in his mind: "This is of course because, of course, they are all good beings who have been chosen by the 'Life Magic Stone'. Because only creatures who are kind to nature are qualified to receive the love of nature. ”

"Twenty thousand years ago, the Philosopher's Stone of Life, the treasure of the Kingdom of Ilil, was once lost in the 'Emerald Forest', where the magic net was closed all day long, and the miasma was pervasive, making it difficult for humans and elves to enter and exit. What's more, rumors have it that there is a powerful monster hidden deep there, which will tear the offender to pieces in an instant if they detect someone entering. ”

"For a while, Ilil was at a loss, and the people generally lost their faith and determination, believing that the kingdom of the elven Ilil, which had lost the protection of life, would soon be plagued by disaster. ”

"However, the elven mages in the Tower of Aurora only smiled faintly when they heard this, and they said, 'Rest assured, the fate of nature will favor us. Essyan thought about it carefully, and at the same time he noticed that Petch suddenly raised his head curiously.

"So... What the hell are they budgeted for?" asked the pirate, unusually serious.

Ai Suyan smiled: "A year later, a group of deer with green hair and blue light on their heads suddenly jumped out of the forest, they spread their hooves, and their speed was so fast that it was difficult to be captured, and in a short time they crossed the wilderness and successfully reached the gate of the elven royal palace. ”

The elven guards on duty at that time were all taken aback, they were puzzled, this color of fawn is a species unique to the Emerald Forest, but no one has seen anything like this in thousands of years, and this is the first time it has ever been like this. ”

Just as they were about to disperse the group of uninvited guests from the woods, all the fawns suddenly went limp on their knees at the same time, and then fell to their knees weakly, and they were already dying. ”

"The most important thing is that at that time, in full view of everyone, the leading fawn suddenly raised its head to the sky and let out a terrible chirp, and then the 'Life Magic Stone' miraculously rolled from its mouth to the ground, and was once again in the hands of the elf. ”

At this time, all the elves realized that this group of deer even sacrificed their own lives in order to return the Life Magic Stone to them. ”

According to the later mage Deer Whisperer, the fawn's deathbed cry was a renewed prayer to Heaven for Ilil's protection, and the elves were so moved that they decided to repay these good and beautiful beings with everything they had. ”

"They turned on almost all of their magical energy, and finally succeeded in infusing some of the power of the Life Philosopher's Stone into the fawns' bodies. After the establishment of the Sword God Vault, they threw this group of deer, which was almost immortal, into it, and made them the first inhabitants of this place except for the founders. Ai Suyan's tone gradually calmed down, but it was clear that this past had touched his heart deeply.

Petucci lazily took over the subject: "I know, and since then they have lived freely and happily here, and the sky has been cloudless forever." I have to say, it's a really interesting place..."

"yes. Ai Suyan nodded: "It is everything here that has taught me to cherish and treat life kindly. ”

Before he could finish speaking, the ground beside him suddenly shook violently, as if he was at the mercy of a huge external force out of thin air.

The prince and the pirate stood up at the same time, and they were surprised to find that even the sword hall made of solid phantom silver began to sway like a dangerous building in the wind.

Essushire turned, but Petch didn't move. Ai Suyan hurriedly turned his head and shouted, "There is an emergency, hurry up and return to the hall with me!"

"No, it's an earthquake, and everywhere it is, it will inevitably be affected. Peterch said calmly, and then he beckoned to Ai Suyan: "This wilderness is precisely the safest place, so come back immediately!"

"This guy doesn't seem to be able to adapt to situations like anyone I've ever metβ€”" Essusyan noticed this, and he followed Peterch's advice and strode back to where he had stood.

This seems to be a once-in-a-century mega earthquake, erupting from the ground, and the Sword God Secret Room happens to be at the center of this disaster...

Under the action of the shock wave, the land of this field cracked one after another, the grass fell off weakly, and at the same time, the entire herd of deer that inhabited the place scattered like frightened birds, and for a moment the dust flew and the scene was extremely chaotic.

Peterqi frowned slightly: Although the ground trembled violently, it is impossible for tens of thousands of years that the Sword God Secret Room has never been attacked by earthquakes, and there must be many predecessors who have encountered this situation...

He breathed a sigh of relief: Ai Suyan, this guy, must have the same idea as me...

However, to his surprise, Ai Suyan suddenly rushed forward like an arrow off the string. At this moment, Peterch clearly saw that in that direction, a fawn with green fur was struggling to shake its body, and one of its hooves was now deep in the crack of the earth, and soon, its body would be completely engulfed...

But the timely arrival of Ai Suyan changed this fate, and he drew the sword in his hand, and his face looked anxious, as if the life in front of him was closely related to his own.

Peterch's eyes widened involuntarily.

With a "bang", the power of silver fell from the sky, and a sword wave slammed into the ground under the deer's feet, and for a moment the deer was scattered, and the fawn struggled to raise its front hooves, and in an instant it broke free from the shackles of the rift.

"Get out of here! Far behind it, Prince Essouyan shouted vigorously, waving his hands at the same time. As he ran, the fawn that had just been rescued seemed to glance back at the prince gratefully, and Petch blinked, noticing the unusual detail.

After a minute, the earth stopped shaking, the sturdy structure was not visibly affected, and the wounds of the earth began to slowly recover under the influence of magic.

The ground was filled with smoke and dust, and people unconsciously felt suffocated.

Ai Suyan covered his eyes, and at this time, he heard Petqi on the side suddenly exclaim loudly: "Look, the fawn just now is back!"

"Yo... Yo..."The crisp sound of the deer came from a distance, and the rescued deer, with green hair, clear eyes, and a blue halo flashing above its head, once again jumped in front of Ai Suyan.

The prince seemed puzzled, "What are you doing here?" He reached out and touched the fawn's hairy head, and Peterch's eyes widened on the side.

"This fawn... It... Belch... It seems that I want to get close to you. Peterch's voice came from behind. At this time, the fawn suddenly leaned down, exposing his entire smooth back to Ai Suyan.

Feeling a little overwhelmed for a moment, he whispered to the fawn in human language, "Do you want me to ride on your back?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he realized his stupidity: how can there be language to communicate between humans and deer?

Unexpectedly, at this time, the fawn nodded slightly, and then pressed his head lower, and the blue aura was almost blending with the prince's face.

Peter on the side snorted coldly in surprise, and then Prince Ai Suyan, who had already reacted, jumped in his heart, and then sat smoothly on the back of the fawn.

"You've saved this amazing fellow! Peterqi's voice was cold and revealing the emotion of blessing: "With your act just now, a new partner has been born." ”

"So, are you going to treat your first mount well? Peterch said, staring at the fawn's smooth fur.

"Of course, with its company from now on, the journey will be much more interesting!"

The prince said overjoyed.
