Chapter 9 Why is it painful to die?
I don't know how long she has been asleep, she just feels that this sleep is really long, fragrant and peaceful.
She still remembers that at the moment when her eyes were full of bright red, her heart was incomparably lighter.
It's all over.
Floya sat up suddenly, still sleepy-eyed, looking at everything in the room in a daze.
It is a light and elegant room, the furnishings in the room are very simple, and although the style and design of the furniture are very beautiful and elegant, it can be seen that the artistic taste of the craftsmen is not low, but the materials and decoration are too ordinary, and no expensive materials are used. In Floya's eyes, this is a typical room of a down-and-out aristocracy.
Floya's fingers twisted slightly, and several small sparks appeared on her fingertips. She smiled, as long as she could still use magic, it would be fine.
When the door opened, a dashing old man walked in.
Floya immediately greeted her, and she was so displeased that she complained with a covered face:
"Is this the underworld? Although the sunlight in this room surprised me, the decoration and furniture were too simple! I was a princess when I was alive, and I was also a great magician! I have just tried, even in the underworld, I can use magic, how can you snub me like this! Even the servant is an old man! There must be a few maids, right? There are so many souls of civilians, can't they be extracted? And you! Don't be in a daze there! Go and call me the person in charge here! Judging by the way you looked, you should have been an elf in your previous life, and you were not young anymore, why did you still look stupid? No wonder you can only be an inferior servant in the underworld. ”
The old man opened his mouth, his face was very strange, and he said for a long time: "Welcome, Your Highness Floya." I'm sorry I can't satisfy you, but here, I'm the one in charge right now. Do you have anything you need?"
Floya was even more dissatisfied, and said angrily: "You are actually the one in charge?No wonder the status of the god of the underworld is getting worse and worse, not to mention compared to the supreme god, even the killers rarely believe in it." The underworld is taken care of by you, how can it be grown? Forget it, I just came to the underworld, and the requirements are not high, just do it casually. First of all, I didn't see where my clothes were, and where I put them. I also need a clean and spacious bathroom, and a couple of sensible and well-behaved maids. Moreover, for a great magician, the magic laboratory is an indispensable thing! If you know my name, you must also know who my teacher is. Although he is not dead yet, he is almost there, and he will definitely not be able to enter the Heavenly Realm, he will only come here. Hmph, it's too late for you to think about it by then....... Oh my God!"
Floya, who was gushing, suddenly screamed, gasped, and opened a pair of beautiful eyes in disbelief.
The elven old man couldn't hold back the smile on his face at all, and his appearance looked so familiar......
Floya slammed into the window and looked out.
That's right, this city that is as exquisite and beautiful as a fairyland on earth, this city full of greenery and flowers of all kinds, this miraculous city that is always warm as spring, is the city of oracles.
With a brush, Floya turned her head, stared at the elven elder, and said, "I remember you." You are...... You are... Elder Theseus!"
Theseus smiled and said, "Exactly!"
Floya was a little stunned and said, "This ...... What's going on? Am I not dead?"
She suddenly reached out and pinched Elder Xius, but as soon as Xiusi retreated at will, she let her surprise attack pass, and then smiled: "Your Highness Floya, you don't need to pinch me, you can know that this is not a dream." ”
Floya involuntarily reached out and stroked her neck, which was smooth and delicate, and what wound was there?
"It can't be! Am I really not dead?! But Rog he...... He slit my throat! I remember I was dead. ”
"You look very energetic. ”
"It's impossible! I'm going to kill him, Rogge is not a soft man! How could he let me go?"
Theseus coughed and said, "This...... As Master Rogge said, you have paid for what you did with one more scar. ”
"Scar?" Floya's face turned green, and she pushed Hughes away abruptly, and said hurriedly, "Oh my God! A scar!
Her thrust was so hard that Theseus immediately fell to the ground on his back. The old man hummed for a long time before he struggled to get up.
Floya finally pulled out a mirror and looked left and right. There was no damage to her beautiful appearance, except for a small scar on her neck that was so long that it was almost invisible. Although she has let go of most of her worries, Floya has always been extremely proud of her white and slender neck, and now that she has such a scar, how can she not be angry and anxious?
She said angrily: "What about this bastard Rogge, where did he hide? He dared to do it, he really left me a scar! This time I will never tie my hands, I am not finished with him! Even if he still loses, he doesn't want to win easily!"
Theseus smiled and replied, "I'm afraid it's a bit difficult. The Divine Envoy is now leading an army thousands of miles away in a fierce battle against the Rivi and the Kingdom of Latvia. I'm afraid he won't have time to come back and fight you. ”
Floya really came to her senses at this time, she calmed down a little, and said, "It seems that Rogge really didn't kill me." What's going on, how long have I been asleep?"
Xiusi still smiled unchanged for ten thousand years, and said, "I don't know what happened between you and the Divine Envoy. All I know is that the Divine Envoy sent someone to bring you to the sleeping city before the expedition, saying that you should recuperate for a while in the City of Oracles. You weren't in a good situation at the time, so my old man had to think of some temporary ways to let you sleep more and refresh yourself. You've only been asleep for ten days. My old man's methods are derived from the ancient elves, and they have always been very effective. You see, as soon as you wake up, you're so energized.
Xiu Ston paused, and said as if he was very hard: "And it can be seen that you originally planned to make a big deal in the underworld and make a ....... in the world."
Floya exclaimed, her face flushed, and for a moment she was simply embarrassed!
She suddenly felt that Hughes's graceful smile full of wisdom was so hateful.
Under the smile of Hughes, Floya felt more and more uncomfortable, and the heat on her face could not be extinguished no matter what.
She also let go and chanted a short incantation, and a cold wind blew from top to bottom, making her shiver, and then she calmed down.
Floya stroked her hair and said lightly, "Since Rogge won't kill me, then I'll leave." Tell him for me that I will come back and kill him one day. ”
Xius said: "The Divine Envoy has ordered you to stay in the City of Oracles for a while, and if you want to leave, you will have to wait until he returns from the battle." You know, I'm just an ordinary elven elder, and I can't disobey the instructions of the Divine Envoy. ”
"So, he's going to imprison me here?" said Floya coldly.
"If you have to talk about imprisonment, then the entire City of Oracles and the surrounding area for dozens of miles is your prison. In this prison, you are completely free to move. ”
Floya snorted and said, "So free, aren't you afraid that I will run away?"
Theseus smiled, "Actually, it's not impossible for you to leave. I'm the one in charge of guarding you, and as long as you win against me, you can leave at will. ”
Floya looked Xius up and down, snorted extremely unwillingly, and said, "Elder Xius, my memory is not so bad, but you are a killer! The killer is the natural enemy of our magicians, not to mention that your strength is far superior to me, even if it is not as good as me, I am not willing to do anything with you." I understand, in fact, you still want to lock me up, right? Okay, I won't leave, but this princess has a lot of money to eat, and it depends on whether you can afford it. ”
Floya's eyes flickered, and Theseus suddenly had two more small teacups and a small teapot in his hand. He sat down at the table, and out of nowhere, he found a small stove and made tea.
In a matter of moments, two cups of tea were ready.
Hughes greeted Floya, and the goblin was not polite, and sat down and drank the tea.
After she drank it all, she savored it carefully, and suddenly she smiled, snatched the teacup in front of Xius, and drank it all again.
Xiusi sighed, looking pained, and muttered, "My old man just ordered the tea he grown, and you and the Divine Envoy are simply a pair of robbers! Fortunately, you still know how to taste some tea, and you can drink it for the divine envoy, which is a complete waste. ”
After watching Xiusi's tea-making skills, Floya quietly dispersed the lightning chain that had been prepared for an instant.
Hughes smiled, and the gaze that seemed to know everything made Floya very uncomfortable. She was almost certain that the old fox must have known that she was going to attack him.
Suddenly, an inexplicable sense of frustration welled up in her heart. Maybe all this time, the institutions I thought were exhausted, and these people have already seen through them, right?
Theseus seemed to know what Floya was thinking, and said, "Your Highness Floya, the divine envoy asked me to tell you that he is grateful for everything you have done for Wind Butterfly. He said that he would do the rest for you, so you don't have to worry about it anymore. ”
Floya was startled, her face was very ugly, and she smiled reluctantly: "Wind butterflies are so cute...... I didn't do anything for her...... I ......" Her voice grew quieter and quieter, and she finally couldn't say it anymore.
Floya was in a depressed mood. She deliberately buried the chess piece of Wind Butterfly, originally thinking that even if she failed and died, she would drag Rogge to hell with her. Floya is extremely talented, and this time she reunites with Rog in the Northland, and it doesn't take long for her to discover that it is difficult to kill Rog completely without destroying his soul. Moreover, this person is extremely blackmailing, thick-skinned, infinitely powerful, extremely strong in magic resistance and poison resistance, and there are countless capable people around him. After thinking about it, in order to make sure that something happens, Floya is ready to use the incomparably powerful curse power of the Wind Butterfly Soul Contract to destroy Rog's soul.
But now, all is in vain.
Obviously, Rogge already knew about her arrangement, how could he not take precautions? It really can't be done, just order Fengdie to commit suicide.
Floya couldn't control her mood, her eyes were a little red, and she said in a low voice: "It turns out that he already knows everything...... He's so good at fooling me!"
Xius sighed and said, "With my understanding of the Divine Envoy, even if he doesn't know that you are helping Wind Butterfly deal with him, you will not be able to succeed. ”
Floya said bitterly: "Yes! How could a person like him not leave a way back for himself? He left such an obvious flaw as Wind Butterfly, just hoping that the hidden enemies around him would use their brains to deal with him from this aspect, so as not to find a way from other aspects." And he must have had a way to deal with it a long time ago. ”
Hughes sighed, "The Divine Envoy asked me to persuade you, and you have died once. Let all the unhappy things in the past pass! It's hard to count others all day long. He wants you to live at least as much as you live in the City of Oracles, and live happily and happily. ”
Floya's face changed several times, and she suddenly fell on the table and cried bitterly.
Hughes remained silent. Out of nowhere, he found tea leaves and a pot of clear spring, and silently boiled another small pot of tea.
As soon as the tea was hot, Floya, who was still swaying her shoulders and weeping bitterly, stretched out her left hand, fumbled to take the teapot off the stove, and brought it to herself.
Floya sat up, tears still on her face. She drank the tea in two sips first, then took the mirror, carefully cleaned up her appearance, and said:
"I admit it! Looks like I can't fight that fat man. I just want to fight, my magic equipment has been taken away by him, what do you use to fight him? Hmph, this fat man is so generous!"
"The Divine Envoy also gave an explanation of this, and he said that he borrowed these things first, and you don't need them here anyway. When the battle is over, he will return to you. He also said that what you borrowed is worthless anyway, and what is really valuable has already been left for you. ”
Floya sneered: "This money junkie, everything is measured by money. Besides, I don't have any magic equipment on my body, so what did he leave for me?"
"Isn't Paradise Lost here?"
Floya snorted and said, "Where, why didn't I see it?"
Theseus' words made Floya's face turn white: "Aren't you just Paradise Lost?"
"What are you talking about? I ...... I don't understand......"
Theseus sighed, "In order to increase your magic power, you actually chose the path of merging with the artifact. The Divine Messenger said that it must have been difficult for him to know your past from this. The reason why he confessed everything is that he wants you to understand that it is impossible for you to kill him, and that you will not waste any more time. ”
Floya was finally silent.
After a long time, she breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a smile: "Now I really figure it out." Elder Theseus, the tea is very satisfying to me, but why is it so shabby here? Can you find me two maids?"
"Your Highness, the City of Oracles is understaffed, and everyone has something to do. So here, we have to do everything ourselves. ”
Floya stared at Xiusi almost viciously for a long time before she said, "Count you awesome! I just drank a few cups of tea from you, and you treated me like this." Hmph, we'll see!"
She thought for a moment, and suddenly said gently, "Elder Xius, you are so capable, especially since although you are a killer, your knowledge of magic is much more profound than mine. Well, you can take me as your student!"
Xiusi's face changed drastically, and he resolutely excused himself: "Your Highness, my old man is very clear about the fate of your teacher! That is not peace in the underworld! My old man actually knows nothing about magic, and everything is checked from the elven canon, and he has done too much. ”
At the mention of the underworld, Floya's face couldn't help but flush, she took a sip, and began to try to explain: "People are new to a place, and they are afraid of being bullied, of course they have to be a little fierce! Elder Theseus, where are the elven texts you mentioned, can you let me also pay homage?"
Reluctantly, Hughes pulled out a large, beautifully decorated ancient book from his bosom and handed it to Floya. The little goblin really couldn't see how this big, thick book had been laid down in his arms in the first place.
The leprechaun is a great magician, and elven writing is one of her compulsory courses. She opened the book jacket and was immediately stunned: "The Battle of ......the Twelve Elf Kings?" What is this?"
She flipped a page and read: "King Grasar's spear, like lightning, like thunder, like an eagle skimming the sky, pierced into the devil's chest...... Elder Theseus, this is an epic poem that celebrates the history of the elves, isn't it?
Xius said with a smile: "On the surface, it is naturally so. King Grasar was a famous paladin in the history of the Elves. If this epic is interpreted in the ancient elven language, it is an experience about the cultivation of spears and fighting spirit. The part that records magic is in the psalms that sing the praises of the elven archmage. ”
The little goblin snorted and said, "I understand, anyway, I don't understand the ancient elf language, how to explain it is not up to you?" I don't care, I will ask you if I don't understand anything in the future." ”
She came to the window, looked at the beautiful scenery of the Oracle City, and suddenly chuckled, and for a moment it was charming and bright.
"Elder Xius, let's go and see your tea garden now!"
Hughes's face immediately changed.
